OpenAI-backed Isara raised $94M at a $650M valuation to build software coordinating thousands of AI agents in tandem. Founded by former OpenAI safety researcher Eddie Zhang, the startup demonstrated ~2,000 agents collaborating to forecast gold prices and targets finance and biotech. This signals the shift from single-model AI to multi-agent orchestration where swarms of agents autonomously divide labor. Agent coordination infrastructure is emerging as the next critical layer of the AI stack.
