Workflow orchestration company Temporal raised $550M on September 14 at a $12.55B valuation, up from $5B just seven months earlier. The thesis: when AI runs long jobs, the bottleneck isn't the model or the hardware — it's progress management. Whoever owns orchestration can turn models and compute into interchangeable parts, which explains Temporal's surging value in the AI era.
