   Flapping Airplanes Raises $1B at $6B Valuation

   Flapping Airplanes raised $1 billion in new funding at a reported $6 billion valuation, led by Index Ventures and Lux Capital, with participation from Sequoia Capital, GV, Kleiner Perkins and others. The AI research startup has not released a commercial product and is pursuing models that use less training data, along with GPU software intended to improve chip efficiency. Its claims about a megakernel framework and overlapping training and inference remain largely unvalidated in independent testing.
