A London AI firm has emerged from stealth with a mammoth £480 million funding round which values it around £3.5 billion.

Recursive Superintelligence, founded in 2025, is a team of former research leaders from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta AI, Salesforce AI and Uber AI.

The secretive company, which has no associated members on LinkedIn, confirmed the funding deal on the social media platform. It said the round was led by GV (Google Ventures) and Greycroft, with major participation from AMD Ventures and NVIDIA.
