FieldAI just closed $405M across two rounds to build "universal robot brains" for physical AI.

What it is: General-purpose robotics intelligence that works across quadrupeds, humanoids, wheeled robots, and vehicles. Their Field Foundation Models add physics layers to prevent AI hallucination in dangerous environments.

The metrics:
• $405M total ($314M latest round)
• Led by Bezos Expeditions, Prysm, Temasek
• Deployed across hundreds of industrial sites
• Backers include Khosla, Intel Capital, NVIDIA
• Team from DeepMind, Tesla Autopilot, SpaceX

Why it matters: Physical AI needs different safety standards than text AI. One hallucination could be catastrophic.
