    @oier_mees𝗢𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗿: 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘂𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗭𝘂̈𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵! AI has made extraordinary progress in the digital world, but its impact on the physical economy has remained comparatively limited. I believe changing that, building general intelligence for the physical world, is one of the most exciting problems of our time. While much of the AI industry is focused on scaling today’s frontier models, at @PrometheusInc we are pursuing a different frontier: building toward an artificial general engineer and dramatically accelerating the loop from imagination to invention. My own path toward general intelligence for the physical world has largely been through robotics. But what excites me here is the broader question: how do we build intelligence that can understand the physical world and accelerate discovery, invention, engineering and manufacturing? What has stood out most is the team: an unusually high concentration of exceptional people across very different disciplines, all working toward the same ambitious goal. I have heard people compare that energy to the early days of Google Brain and OpenAI: a lot of talent, a sense of possibility and the pull of a new frontier. A glimpse into what we are building: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/technology/bezos-prometheus-ai-engineer.html We are hiring in Zürich, San Francisco and London across frontier modeling, real-world ML and deep technical domains. If this frontier excites you, I would love to hear from you.
