Today, @KAIKAKU_AI is joining REEF.

We engineered the autonomy. REEF built the platform and scale to deploy it, having raised more than $1.5B from investors including @SoftBank and @Mubadala.

We're not here to merely to build an impressive robot. We're here to prove that the technology was ready, the unit economics worked and the only thing left was scale.

REEF is that scale.

More soon.

London, Paris and most major European cities sit within range of an Iranian ICBM, and our reserves of Patriot missiles aren't what they used to be….

Thank you @Cambridge_Aero for protecting us. And tip of the hat to our ally @DerJunaid !
