/dev/agents, an AI agent operating system platform founded by former Stripe CTO David Singleton, has completed a $56 million seed round of financing at a valuation of $500 million, led by Index Ventures and CapitalG, with participation from Conviction Capital and OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy, Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora and Android founder Andy Rubin.
/dev/agents' vision is to build an Android operating system for the AI era, providing specially optimized interfaces and protocols, and establishing new UI modes and user data models. The company expects the first version of its product to be available in the early to mid-next year. As for /dev/agents' business model, Singleton said it may not be much different from how Android monetizes its operating system now. (TechCrunch)
