Hark Raises $700 Million For AI Hardware Development

Artificial intelligence (AI) lab Hark has been valued at $6 billion following a $700 million funding round. The company says its Series A, announced Thursday (May 21), will help it with its effort of pairing Hark’s foundation models with hardware “to create a universal interface between humans and machines.” Hark added that it plans to use the funds to hire as it secures the infrastructure it needs, with plans to train the next generation of its models at the company’s Nvidia B200 data center.
