Personalized AI models + dedicated consumer hardware — a 'universal' AI interface
Hark is a San Jose-based AI lab founded in late 2025 by Brett Adcock (Figure AI, Archer Aviation) building personalized multimodal AI models and dedicated consumer hardware — an 'AI that knows you, speaks your language, and lives on hardware made for you.' Adcock seeded the company with $100M of his own capital before raising a $700M Series A at $6B post-money in May 2026, led by Parkway Venture Capital with NVIDIA, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Salesforce, Qualcomm, Intel Capital, Greycroft, Prime Movers Lab, and Tamarack Global participating. The 70-person team runs a data center on NVIDIA B200 GPUs and recruited former Apple iPhone Air designer Abidur Chowdhury as director of design, alongside hardware and AI engineers from Google, Meta, and Amazon. First multimodal models are scheduled for summer 2026; the hardware timeline is undisclosed. Figure AI's humanoids already use some Hark models, and Adcock has framed Hark's agentic AI work as foundational to scaling Figure's robots — a quiet operational tie between the two companies.
