Jeff Bezos said he has embraced returning to an operational leadership role as co-CEO of AI startup Prometheus, describing the experience as "Type 2 fun" — challenging in the moment but rewarding in hindsight. Bezos, who stepped down as Amazon CEO in 2021, said leading the company alongside co-founder Vik Bajaj is demanding but fulfilling, calling it "a good grind." He added that Prometheus now occupies most of his time, while he also remains actively involved with Blue Origin and Amazon, with AI serving as the common thread across his work.
Prometheus, which develops AI models designed to perform physical tasks and accelerate product development, launched with
$6.2 billion in funding and announced a new
$12 billion financing round, valuing the company at
$41 billion. Bezos said he and Bajaj share responsibilities across all aspects of the business rather than dividing duties.
