Mega-Raises and Hard Infrastructure – SwissCognitive AI Investment Radar
At the very top of the stack, Anthropic upcoming raise could value it above OpenAI points to how stretched late-stage pricing has become, at least on paper, with reports putting the discussion range at $900B–$950B. In the same “scale wins” category, OpenAI launches professional services business with $4B investment signals a push into hands-on deployments, while OpenAI eyes $500 billion valuation in potential employee share sale adds another marker of how secondary liquidity is becoming part of the AI funding story.
The biggest cheques this week were not limited to foundation-model names. Anduril raises $5B, doubles valuation to $61B shows continued investor appetite for defense tech at scale. In life sciences, Isomorphic Labs secures $2.1B funding to scale its AI drug design engine sits alongside Forus Raises $160M as capital backs platforms that promise shorter cycles from research to clinical workflows.
Infrastructure kept pulling in heavyweight financing. Nscale extends funding momentum with €670M for Norway AI infrastructure project reinforces how data center buildouts are becoming the bottleneck and the battleground. Hardware and compute supply chains also stayed active through SoftBank hands Graphcore $450M and new bets on chip design and photonics, including Quantum Motion Raises $160M and eyeo Raises €40M.
The “agents and automation” layer also drew real money. SAP backs n8n at $5.2B valuation underlines enterprise demand for workflow automation that can handle data-heavy processes, while Vapi nabs $50M and Monaco Secures $50M Series B show continued funding for voice and sales systems that sit close to daily operations.
Security and resilience remained a major funding magnet, with Exaforce raises $125M Series B and Frame Security raises $50M aimed at risks that grow as AI becomes more widely used inside organisations. Add in robotics and space-adjacent compute, Cowboy Space raises $275M and Star Catcher Raises $65M—and the week’s list makes one thing clear: capital is flowing to the parts of AI that get deployed, powered, secured, and operated, not only to the models themselves.
