Tell us a little bit about the company.

We'll go through the fundraise.

And I have a bunch of questions about robotics because it's always a fascinating topic.

But I'll let you kick it off.

What a day to be announcing a massive round in physical AI.

Because there's only one person in the world that could raise probably a bigger AI meets physical world round.

And that's Jeff Bezos.

But we're happy to have you here today and excited to hear what you're working on.

Great honor.

Yeah, so a little bit about me.

I'm David, founder and CEO of Neuro Robotics, a company out of Germany, so in the southern part.

Yeah, my goal is actually making robots cognitive and bring them actually in all areas of our lives.

And I do think that robotics will actually take over any physical task in the future.

And I think that's also what we're seeing today, like big progress, having, let's say, physically combined basically with robotics.

with a robot body and doing great things, mainly focused right now industrial, but looking also into all other sectors.

There's this big trend right now in just the LLM, the frontier AI market, where companies will use the most versatile tool for the job, the frontier model, they'll token max, it'll be really expensive, and then pretty quickly they'll figure out

okay, for this workflow, we can actually use an open source model on commodity hardware.

We can use a legacy model.

We can cut the cost by 85% pretty quickly.

And I have this suspicion that that will be the case for humanoid robots.
