On Monday local time, Instinct, an AI startup that has only been in business for a year, announced that it has completed Series C financing of 1 billion US dollars with a valuation of 10 billion US dollars. This round of financing was co-led by Sequoia Capital, Benchmark Capital, and Coatue, which meant that in just one month, the company's valuation of only 14 employees directly quadrupled, not only creating a new round of “god making” myths in Silicon Valley, but also completely thrust AI agents that can actually “run errands” for humans into the spotlight. Currently, Instinct's AI smart assistant is not open to the public.
