Today, @KAIKAKU_AI is joining REEF.
We engineered the autonomy. REEF built the platform and scale to deploy it, having raised more than $1.5B from investors including @SoftBank and @Mubadala.
We're not here to merely to build an impressive robot. We're here to prove that the technology was ready, the unit economics worked and the only thing left was scale.
REEF is that scale.
More soon.
