Flapping Airplanes Completes $1 Billion Financing
Flapping Airplanes Inc. announced the completion of $1 billion in new financing. According to a SiliconANGLE report on October 22, 2026, Bloomberg said its valuation reached $6 billion; the company was founded about a year ago and has no commercial product yet. The report said that in its first year it mainly invested in research and development of new GPU primitives, and its megakernel framework can simultaneously complete full training, inference, and game running within a single kernel, allowing memory-bound inference and compute-bound training to overlap on the same chip. The Series A round was co-led by Index Ventures and Lux Capital, with Sequoia Capital and GV, investors in the $180 million seed round in January, continuing to participate, and Nvidia and others also on the list of institutional investors. There are currently no subsequent development facts.
