From AI Brains to Quantum Bricks

From trillion-parameter AI minds to self-flying jets and humanoid robots running double shifts, the past few weeks have showcased some of the most remarkable innovations in technology. These breakthroughs aren’t just headlines—they reveal how far companies are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, from AI and robotics to quantum computing and sustainable energy.

1. Anthropic - The US$183 B Thought Engine

Anthropic’s US$13 billion Series F blasted its valuation to US$183 billion, more than tripling in six months. The firm now projects US$9 billion ARR by 2025-end and as much as US$26 billion in 2026.
Why it matters: This pace would make Anthropic one of the fastest-growing software companies in history. 🔗 Read more: Reuters — Anthropic’s valuation more than doubles to $183 billion

2. xAI - Elon’s US$200 B Wild Card

xAI is reportedly valued around US$200 billion, boosted by Grok’s upcoming takeover of X’s “For You” feed and a new deal to provide AI chat services to U.S. federal agencies.
Why it matters: Musk just gave xAI the largest live-training distribution network on the planet, every swipe trains Grok. 🔗 Read more: Reuters — Musk’s xAI to provide Grok chatbot to U.S. federal agencies

3. Figure AI - Robots at a US$39 B Valuation

Figure raised US$1 billion Series C, pushing its post-money valuation to US$39 billion. Its new Figure 03 humanoid debuted at Dreamforce and reportedly works 10-hour shifts on BMW’s line.
Why it matters: The hardware + AI convergence is real, and investors now value humanoids like SaaS unicorns. 🔗 Read more: The Robot Report — Figure AI raises $1 billion at $39 billion valuation

4. Redwood Materials - The US$11 B Battery Recycler

Redwood secured US$350 million led by Eclipse with Nvidia Ventures participating, valuing it near US$11 billion. Funds go toward scaling recycling and grid-storage plants.
Why it matters: Every AI data center and EV plant depends on materials Redwood is reclaiming — sustainability meets supply-chain power.

5. PsiQuantum - Quantum Goes Industrial (US$7 B) 

PsiQuantum just broke ground on its Chicago quantum campus at the Illinois Quantum & Microelectronics Park, following a US$1 billion Series E earlier this year that valued it around US$7 billion.
Why it matters: The company is moving from theory to concrete, literally. Quantum computing now has a street address.

6. Shield AI - Autonomy Takes Flight (US$5 B) 

At an October demo in DC, Shield AI revealed X-BAT, an AI-piloted VTOL combat drone powered by its Hivemind autonomy stack; valuation sits near US$5 billion.
Why it matters: Fully autonomous air combat just graduated from simulation to runway reality.

Presale on Jarsy

  • Apptronik: AI-powered humanoid robots for industrial use cases.

  • xAI: AI lab building chatbots and models using real-time data from X and SpaceX.

  • Anysphere (Cursor): AI-native IDE from Anysphere (Cursor) using top LLMs to 10× developer productivity.

“Private Equity Live" vs "Private Equity Presale"

Best for: Presale suits larger allocations; Live suits smaller, fast investments usually less than $10K

Custody: Presale not yet acquired the underlying equities; Live held the equity by Jarsy

Settlement: Presale settles after deal closes; Live doesn’t need to wait for the deal close date, better price faster settlement

Refund: If not successful, both offer 100% refund with no feesJarsy Investment Options: Presale vs. Live

Presale:
