  1. SoftBank is putting together a new business called Roze AI designed to automate data center construction in the U.S. by deploying autonomous robots to help build server farms.

  2. Some SoftBank executives want Roze to go public by the second half of 2026 with a desired valuation of $100 billion, though some inside SoftBank have expressed skepticism about the valuation and proposed IPO timeline.

  3. The company joins other recent ventures using AI and automation to modernize industrial sectors, such as Jeff Bezos's Project Prometheus, which plans to buy and modernize firms across major industrial sectors.
