"After The New York Times story was published, Guss, Ozair, and about three dozen other people updated their LinkedIn profiles to list their affiliation with the Bezos venture. Several of those people also work at Foresite Labs. Details about Prometheus remain limited. Its founding date, formal name, and headquarters haven't been publicly identified. But the dinner Bajaj hosted in June provided other clues."
"Ozair established General Agents last year, and the San Francisco startup released its first technology this past April. Described as "a realtime computer pilot," Ace takes over a computer and carries out actions based on the user's prompts. It's part of a class of tools the AI industry calls computer agents, which can automate daily tasks on a laptop that span across different apps."
"One demo video from the launch shows Ace downloading an image from Google and sending it to someone over iMessage in under 15 seconds. How Ace fits into Prometheus' plans is still murky. New versions of Ace continue to be released as recently as this month, according to public data from General Agents. The company's website and job postings remain online, and the leader of a team in India helping train Ace also joined Prometheus, according to their LinkedIn profile"
Prometheus is a nascent, lightly documented AI venture connected to Bezos that recruited several researchers and engineers who updated LinkedIn to show affiliation. The venture's founding date, formal name, and headquarters remain undisclosed, though a June dinner hosted by Bajaj revealed participants who later joined. Former Nvidia researcher Kamyar Azizzadenesheli and others quietly joined earlier this year, while Ashish Vaswani and Jakob Uszkoreit serve as founding advisors. Ozair's startup General Agents launched Ace, a realtime computer agent that automates cross-application tasks; Ace continues to receive updates and has contributors who also joined Prometheus.
