Former Meta Executives Raise $15 Million for AI Assistant Startup Yutori

Two former Meta artificial intelligence executives, Devi Parikh and Dhruv Batra, have secured $15 million in funding for their AI assistant startup, Yutori. The funding round was led by Radical Ventures’ Rob Toews, with contributions from Felicis, AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li, and Google DeepMind’s Jeff Dean.

San Francisco-based Yutori is developing autonomous AI agents capable of executing tasks independently, a growing trend in AI innovation. Unlike current chatbots that primarily facilitate conversations, Yutori aims to create AI assistants that actively perform tasks, such as managing travel logistics and automating online transactions.

The company is leveraging post-training techniques to enhance AI models’ ability to navigate the web and execute complex reasoning tasks. Yutori’s team includes experts who played key roles in Meta’s AI advancements, including researchers behind Llama 3 and Llama 4, as well as embodied AI projects designed for robotics.

Wolfspeed Appoints Robert Feurle as CEO Amid Industry Challenges

Chipmaker Wolfspeed (WOLF.N) has named Robert Feurle as its new CEO, effective May 1, replacing interim chief Thomas Werner, who will resume his role as chairman. Feurle, a seasoned semiconductor executive, previously held key positions at Micron Technology, Infineon Technologies, and ams-OSRAM AG.

The leadership change follows the board’s decision to oust former CEO Gregg Lowe in November without cause. Wolfspeed has been restructuring its operations, including facility closures, to improve profitability amid slowing demand from automotive, industrial, and energy markets.

Feurle expressed confidence in revitalizing the company’s operating plan and accelerating its path to positive free cash flow. Wolfspeed continues to focus on silicon carbide technology, with significant investment in a 200-millimeter silicon carbide fab to enhance efficiency and production capacity.

Despite the announcement, Wolfspeed’s shares fell about 2% in early trading.
