Helsinki (Finland) \u2014 NestAI, a Finnish start-up company, has raised around 100 million euros in a finan\u00adcing round led by the Finnish sove\u00adreign wealth fund Tesi and tele\u00adcom\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adti\u00adons giant Nokia.<\/p>\n

Its work focu\u00adses on unman\u00adned vehic\u00adles, auto\u00adno\u00admous opera\u00adti\u00adons and advan\u00adced command and control systems. <\/p>\n

Peter Sarlin founds again<\/strong><\/p>\n

The co-foun\u00adder of NestAI, Peter Sarlin <\/strong>(photo \u00a9 Silo AI), previously built up the AI start-up Silo AI<\/strong> and sold it to AMD for 665 million dollars. He is now Chair\u00adman of NestAI and also works at AMD. Sarlin supports the startup through his family office Post\u00adScrip\u00adtum<\/strong>, which provi\u00added finan\u00adcial back\u00ading to NestAI during its stealth phase. <\/p>\n

The tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal back\u00adbone of NestAI is \u201cphysi\u00adcal AI\u201d,<\/strong> where large-scale language models and AI tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies are applied beyond soft\u00adware and embedded into robo\u00adtics and physi\u00adcal systems used in real-world defense envi\u00adron\u00adments. This sets NestAI apart from compe\u00adti\u00adtors such as Avalor AI, Aron\u00addite and Helsing, which focus on purely digi\u00adtal AI applications. <\/p>\n

The NestAI team is top-class<\/strong><\/p>\n

The start-up\u2019s team of around 70 people consists of execu\u00adti\u00adves from Intel, Kong\u00adsberg, Palan\u00adtir, Saab and other indus\u00adtries who have the tech\u00adni\u00adcal and opera\u00adtio\u00adnal exper\u00adtise requi\u00adred to deve\u00adlop AI systems that are robust, secure and inter\u00adope\u00adra\u00adble in mission-criti\u00adcal contexts.<\/p>\n

In the future, NestAI plans to signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly expand its physi\u00adcal AI lab while deepe\u00adning part\u00adner\u00adships with Euro\u00adpean armed forces, inclu\u00adding targe\u00adted support to the Finnish Armed Forces.<\/p>\n
