From humanoid robots to autonomous vehicles, every Physical AI model is trained on petabytes of video, lidar, radar, and sensor data. Today’s data platforms (Databricks, Snowflake) were built for spreadsheet-like analytics, not video corpora. And understanding that video still means paying a person to watch it, ten dollars an hour of footage at the low end. So teams check a sample and hope it represents the rest. The footage grows every year; the budget to look at it doesn’t.
Eventual was founded in 2022 to close that gap. Our open-source engine, Daft, is purpose-built for multimodal AI: 2 PB/day at Amazon, 60-100 PB at another FAANG company, and in production at companies like Mobileye, TogetherAI. On top of it we’re building the infrastructure that finds any situation you can describe across a fleet’s entire video history, and turns it into a training set or an alert someone can still act on. We fine-tune and run the vision models ourselves, which makes indexing every hour cheaper than annotating a sample.
We’re building this with the top Physical AI labs and GPU cloud providers. We’ve raised $30M from investors like Felicis, CRV, Y Combinator, and angels from the co-founders of Databricks and Perplexity. Our team comes from AWS, Lyft, and Tesla. We powered the last generation of Physical AI in self-driving; now we’re doing it for the next.
