Bezos backs Cambridge AI lab at $2.6bn valuation

Jeff Bezos is backing CuspAI, a two-year-old Cambridge startup using AI to design new materials, in a round led by Bezos Expeditions and Kleiner Perkins at a $2.6bn valuation. The company's "synthesis-aware" models propose manufacturable chemical compositions up to 10 times faster than conventional methods. Meta, Hyundai, and Kemira already use the technology.
