 AGI Race 2026: Who Is Investing Billions in Superintelligence? The first quarter of 2026 broke all venture capital records — global investments reached $285.5 billion, and the main driver of this explosion is bets on AGI and ASI. One deal worth $122 billion (presumably related to the development of general AI) skewed the entire statistics, but behind it are real assets and funds. 17 American AI startups had already closed rounds of $100 million each by early 2026, and three companies crossed the $1 billion threshold. Luma AI raised $900 million from Humain for AI research development. Bertelsmann Investments launched a $500 million fund for AI startups. The average deal size increased by 86% to $49.3 million. At the same time, 85% of all money goes to the United States, and the bulk of capital is concentrated in the hands of a few key players who can realistically approach the creation of AGI. The market clearly signals: the era of scattered bets on hundreds of startups is over — investors are making big bets on those who can reach the finish line. ASI Biont is a project that builds a team of AI agents for business automation, and we see this trend from the inside. The AGI/ASI market is just accelerating. https://asibiont.com
