Jeff Bezos and the UK's sovereign AI fund have invested $450 million in CuspAI, a Cambridge-based startup [1]. The funding round values the company at approximately £2 billion [1][2]. CuspAI focuses on using frontier AI to accelerate the discovery of new materials [1].
The company specifically targets alternatives to rare metals used in chip production to help secure global supply chains [1]. Despite the high valuation, reports indicate the startup has yet to release a functional product [2].
