Report: Softbank, Nvidia Exploring Funding Round Valuing Skild Ai at $14b
SoftBank and Nvidia aim to nearly triple Skild AI's valuation by investing over $1 billion in its robot-agnostic AI model technology, reflecting rising interest in AI robotics.
- SoftBank Group Corp. and NVIDIA Corp. are negotiating to invest more than $1,000,000,000 in Skild AI, valuing the company at roughly $14,000,000,000, Reuters reported on December 8, 2025.
- Skild AI, founded in 2023 by former Meta AI researchers, develops universal software as a central "brain" for robots, focusing on foundation models instead of proprietary hardware.
- Skild demonstrated progress when it unveiled Skild Brain in July, showing robots picking up dishes and climbing stairs, and it secured partnerships with LG CNS and Hewlett Packard Enterprise that impressed SoftBank.
- PitchBook data shows the round would nearly triple Skild's valuation from $4.7 billion earlier this year, and Skild AI, SoftBank Group Corp. and NVIDIA Corp. declined to comment.
- Masayoshi Son, SoftBank CEO's robotics focus and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's efforts signal rising market and policy momentum amid funding surges including Physical Intelligence's $600 million raise and 1X's $1 billion talks.
