Sebastian Thrun's Stealth Dulo Lands $130M Seed to Build 'Foundation Models for Hardware Design'

The Information reports Sebastian Thrun's stealth startup Dulo has raised a $130M seed to build 'foundation models for hardware design,' with the mission framed as enabling 'manufacturing at lightspeed.' Dulo surfaced in August with a roster of Waymo, Google Brain and Stanford SAIL alumni but no disclosed funding, product or timeline; today's figure is the first dollar amount tied to the project since it emerged from stealth.
