Shengshu Technology secures $600M for multimodal models and Bedrock Robotics raises $270M for autonomous construction. Highlights include major rounds for Resolve AI ($125M) and Midi Health ($100M), fueling specialised agents across enterprise and healthcare.

Also ... Thomson Reuters, RELX, and Wolters Tank As Claude Legal Debuts

Almost certainly overdone given spread of their assets but it raises question on long-term moats - and how massively funded major LLMs are now spreading tentacles into other sectors with focused tools - law, accounting, due diligence, music ... All those where there is a clever wrapper around many of the VC funded companies.

Chegg was the first high profile ChatGPT casualty but it may be a boiling the frog process across other sectors. And taking it further why can't an obedient and well-trained legal AI agent just negotiate an NDA or term sheet with another AI agent better than a human 🤖 🤝 🤖?!
