Flapping Airplanes Inc. secures $1 billion in funding just one year after its founding, achieving a $6 billion valuation. The AI research lab focuses on developing models requiring far less data than current systems, leveraging a proprietary **megakernel framework** that optimizes GPU efficiency for simultaneous training, inference, and real-time tasks. Founders Asher and Ben Spector, alongside Thiel Fellow Aidan Smith, lead a team of around two dozen researchers in San Francisco. Backers include Index Ventures, Lux Capital, Sequoia, GV, Nvidia, and others, citing demand for AI efficiency in robotics, trading, and life sciences.
