Why AI Model Makers Are Going Vertical Into Robotics

Episode 47 of AI Business with Fexingo tackles the biggest strategic shift in AI since the chat wars: model makers building physical robots. Lucas and Luna unpack why OpenAI, Anthropic, and even Jeff Bezos's Prometheus are moving bits to atoms, using data from the June 2026 market landscape. They analyze Avataar's video AI for India's scale, the $12 billion Prometheus raise, and theker's $85 million general-purpose factory robot. The hosts debate whether this is a necessary integration or a capital-burning distraction, and what it means for enterprise adoption and hardware stocks like SMCI, which dropped 23% in a week. A concrete look at why AI companies are no longer satisfied with just software. #AI #Robotics #OpenAI #Anthropic #Prometheus #Avataar #Theker #JeffBezos #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence #EnterpriseAI #ModelMakers #HardwareStocks #SMCI #Business #Technology #AIBusiness #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
