CSProfKGD · x · 2026-09-02
Embodied AI researcher Oier Mees announced he is joining Prometheus in Zurich, framing the mission as building general intelligence for the physical world.
He argued that while AI has made extraordinary progress in the digital world, its impact on the physical economy remains comparatively limited — and that changing this is one of the most exciting problems of our time. He noted that while much of the industry focuses on scaling today's frontier models, Prometheus is betting on intelligence that acts in the physical world. Details of his exact role and Prometheus's technical approach were cut off in the post.
