OpenAI will acquire Ona to bring its secure cloud execution and orchestration technology into the Codex ecosystem, expanding how AI agents operate across longer-running, persistent workflows. Codex, now used by more than 5 million people weekly (up roughly 400% this year), has evolved from a developer tool into a broader system for research, analysis, and automation that can run work over hours or days rather than single sessions. Ona’s infrastructure enables secure, persistent cloud environments where agents can continue executing tasks with controlled access, logging, and governance, helping organizations move from experimentation to production-grade agent deployments. The acquisition, subject to regulatory approvals, will integrate Ona’s technology to let Codex operate continuously within enterprise cloud environments while maintaining security and organizational control.

Mistral AI is in talks to raise roughly €3 billion ($3.5M~) at a €20 billion valuation ($23M~), a deal that would nearly double its €11.7 billion mark from its Series C last year and underscore accelerating investor appetite for European AI challengers. The round, still in early discussions and subject to change, would further fuel the company’s push to compete in the capital-intensive AI race against U.S. and Chinese rivals after a rapid funding streak that included major backers like ASML, Nvidia, and top venture firms. CEO Arthur Mensch has pointed to surging growth—annualized revenue rising from about $20 million to over $400 million—with expectations of reaching €1 billion by end-2026, as the company scales its open-weight model strategy and expands infrastructure bets across Europe.

Theker, a Barcelona-based AI robotics startup building reconfigurable machines for industrial and logistics work, has raised $85 million in a Series A billed as Europe’s largest ever robotics round. The funding was led by CRV and backed by investors including Samsung and Aglaé Ventures, with early strategic support from Inditex, as the company pushes a “generalist” robotics approach designed to handle varied, real-world factory tasks rather than fixed single-purpose automation. Co-founder Carla Gómez Cano said the startup is targeting deployment directly in operations and logistics teams, skipping extended pilot cycles, as it expands hiring and prepares to scale across Europe, the U.S., and Asia.

I recognize true love the moment I see it. $SPCX

SpaceX cafeteria workers going to work after the IPO $SPCX

SpaceX is officially public. The company began trading on Nasdaq as SPCX, raising $75B at $135/share in one of the largest IPOs in history. The debut values SpaceX at $1.77T, giving public market investors direct exposure to one of the most important private companies ever built. But this is no longer just a rocket company. SpaceX now gives investors exposure to: — Starlink — Launch services — Starship — Future space infrastructure Starlink alone has launched more than 12,000 satellites, with over 10,500 currently in orbit, making it one of the largest communications networks in the world. The IPO also pushes Elon Musk’s net worth above $1T, making him the world’s first trillionaire, with much of that wealth still tied to SpaceX’s continued success. SpaceX’s public market debut could accelerate investment across the commercial space economy and reshape how investors think about aerospace, communications, and infrastructure.
