THE HOOK
FieldAI just put a ten-billion sticker on a "brain for robots" — and investors are still writing cheques.
THE GIST
Business Insider reports FieldAI signed a term sheet for ~$700M at a $10B valuation. That would quintuple last year's ~$2B mark after $400M+ raised for its general-purpose robot brain spanning humanoids to drones.
THE TAKE
Five-x in a year for an unfinished physical-AI story is either conviction or FOMO with a term sheet. Robot brains don't print tokens; they break on carpet. At $10B, FieldAI needs deployments that look like revenue, not demos that look like TED. Paper valuations don't torque motors.
OPINION
Physical AI is catching the same fever software models had — and the comps are getting silly. Watch who leads the round and whether FieldAI discloses customers beyond the Business Insider soft scoop. Until the term sheet closes, treat $10B as aspiration with a lawyer.
