Code Metal raised $125M Series B at $1.25B valuation, just months after their $36M Series A. The Boston startup uses AI to translate legacy defense code (COBOL, Ada, Fortran) into modern languages while formally verifying every conversion - critical for mission-critical systems where bugs are unacceptable. With RTX as an investor, this signals defense's strategic bet on AI-powered modernization over new builds. The 5x valuation jump reflects confidence that verified code translation unlocks billions in legacy infrastructure value.
