Project Prometheus is an artificial intelligence (AI) startup. It was founded by Jeff Bezos, who will serve as co-chief executive. The project will launch with $6.2 billion in funding, partly from Bezos.[1] Vik Bajaj, a chemist and physicist formerly of Google X who is the co-founder and CEO of AI-incubator Forsite Labs, is the startup's co-founder and co-chief executive.[1] As of mid-November 2025, the project had hired nearly 100 employees, including researchers poached from AI firms Meta, OpenAI, and DeepMind.[1][2][3]
Among other things, the company plans to use AI technology to improve engineering and manufacturing in the fields of computing, aerospace, and automobiles.[4][5] It intends to apply AI to physical tasks; this requires systems that can learn not just from massive amounts of digital data, as LLMs are programmed to do, but also from real-world trial and error.[6][7]
