"Skild AI, which makes foundation models for robots, seems to have more than tripled its valuation in just seven months. The startup has raised a $1.4 billion Series C round that values it at more than $14 billion, Bloomberg reported. The round was led by SoftBank, and Nvidia, Macquarie Group, 1789 Capital and others also invested. Skild AI last raised a funding at a $4.5 billion valuation this prior summer, Bloomberg reported."
"Founded in 2023, Skild AI builds general-purpose robotic software and foundation models that can be retrofitted to a variety of different robots and tasks without requiring a ton of additional training. The hope is that these models can also learn from watching humans perform tasks. There has been a big push recently into this type of learn-as-you-go robotic software alongside the rising hype around humanoids."

Founded in 2023, Skild AI builds general-purpose robotic software and foundation models that can be retrofitted to diverse robots and tasks without extensive extra training. The models are designed to learn from watching humans to enable learn-as-you-go adaptation and reduce task-specific training, potentially accelerating robot adoption.
