    Daytona raises a $60 million Series B at a $1 billion valuation

    Daytona, which provides cloud sandboxes for AI agents, has raised a $60 million Series B at a $1 billion valuation, led by FirstMark, bringing its total funding to about $91 million. Its customers include Anthropic, OpenAI, Nvidia, Cursor, Cognition, Meta, and Cohere, and CEO Burazin said the company's revenue run rate grew 25-fold between January and September. Daytona says it can provision a new sandbox for an agent within 60 milliseconds by pre-distributing snapshots of configured machines to servers' physical disks.

    GM teaches engineers to fail fast and 'speak fearlessly,' taking on Chinese EVs with battery technology

    General Motors has invested $900 million to build a battery cell development center at its Warren Technical Center in Michigan, and is advancing its in-house LMR (lithium manganese-rich) cells, with plans to mass-produce them in 2028 in partnership with LG Energy Solution. Its LMR cells have a nickel content of about 30% to 40%, lower than the roughly 85% in current high-nickel cells, and an energy density about one-third higher than mainstream LFP cells, at a comparable cost. GM says the technology is independently developed and does not rely on Chinese licensing, with the goal of giving large electric pickups and full-size SUVs cheaper batteries with longer range.

    Eka Robotics Completes $150 Million Series A Funding at a $1.45 Billion Valuation

    Eka Robotics has completed a $150 million Series A funding round led by a16z and F-Prime, at a post-money valuation of $1.45 billion. The company was founded by MIT professor Pulkit Agrawal and former Google DeepMind researcher Tuomas Haarnoja. Its vision-force-action model, paired with force-sensing grippers, can grasp about 1,500 objects weighing under 1 kg per hour, with a success rate exceeding 95%; the gripper costs less than $1,000 and is rated for 5 million cycles. The team uses a physics simulator to build reinforcement learning environments, and says it can generate thousands of hours of robot experience within minutes. It is currently running pilots with industrial customers for pick-and-place and cable manipulation.
