We just wrapped what began as an 8-hour challenge - and it ran for 200 hours without a failure
Shoutout to the team for the hardcore engineering behind F.03 and the robust Helix models powering it
- Figure started from absolute scratch just four years ago today
- Rapidly iterated vertically integrated platforms for hardware and AI
- This wouldn't happen without a high level of grit and relentless engineering
Next four years are gonna be crazy interesting to watch.
Today I'm excited to share that Hark has raised $700M at a $6B valuation
When I use these AI models today, they feel basic. They should be able to listen and talk naturally, understand vision, retain persistent memory, and become deeply personalized over time. They should be able to see the world, interact with it, and take action
To build that future, the capital we raised today will be used to:
→ scale our GPU infrastructure
→ accelerate future AI model development
→ grow the Hark team from ~70 to 200 engineers
→ design and build the next generation of AI hardware
The Series A round was led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Tamarack Global
At Hark, we are building the most advanced personal intelligence in the world. Intelligence that begins to think like you and sometimes, ahead of you to offload your mental workload
