Meta’s former hardware lead for Orion is joining OpenAI

The former head of Meta’s augmented reality glasses efforts announced on Monday she is joining OpenAI to lead robotics and consumer hardware, according to a post on LinkedIn. OpenAI confirmed to TechCrunch that Caitlin Kalinowski will be joining the startup.

Kalinowski is a hardware executive who began leading Meta’s AR glasses team in March 2022. She oversaw the creation of Orion, the impressive augmented reality prototype that Meta recently showed off at its annual Connect conference. Kalinowski also led the hardware team behind Meta’s virtual reality goggles for roughly nine years. Before that, she worked at Apple, designing the hardware for MacBooks.

“I’m delighted to share that I’m joining OpenAI to lead robotics and consumer hardware,” said Kalinowski in her post. “In my new role, I will initially focus on OpenAI’s robotics work and partnerships to help bring AI into the physical world and unlock its benefits for humanity.”

Coatue Management, a hedge fund that invested heavily in tech startups during the pandemic-infused boom, is raising $1 billion to back AI-focused companies, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

The funding, which will top up the firm’s flagship fund, will be raised primarily from institutional investors. However, high-net-worth individuals with accounts at the brokerage Raymond James & Associates could also invest in Coatue, per the report.

Coatue, which has nearly $50 billion in assets under management, has invested in over 170 VC-backed companies in 2021, according to PitchBook data. Coatue has since drastically slowed its startup investing pace, backing only 81 companies in 2022 and about 30 companies in 2023.

The crossover investor isn’t done with investing in private companies, however. So far in 2024, Coatue has backed 29 startups, PitchBook data shows. The firm’s latest AI-focused investments include Glean, Scale AI, and Skild AI, which is building a general-purpose AI robot. Philippe Laffont, Coatue’s founder (pictured above) has said he is particularly excited about humanoid robots with AI-powered brains.

Amazon begins delivering select products via drone in Phoenix

A few months after ending its drone-based delivery program, Prime Air, in California, Amazon says that it’s begun making deliveries to select customers via drone in Phoenix, Arizona.

Starting today, Amazon customers in the West Valley Phoenix Metro Area have access to a drone-deliverable selection from Amazon’s catalog, including household, beauty, office, health, and tech supplies. Products must weigh five pounds or less to be eligible; Amazon says about 50,000 are available at launch.

Customers can choose the drone delivery location for their address before they check out. Most can expect to receive items in an hour max, according to Amazon, delivered direct from the take-off site in Tolleson.
