Jeff Dean's AI startup Discovery Loop, founded with fellow ex-Google leaders, is reportedly in talks at a roughly $50 billion valuation, per Business Insider (via Reuters) — a big jump from the $10 billion target and $1 billion raise discussed just a month ago. Terms could still change, and a deal at $50B is far from guaranteed.
