Key Takeaways
- SiliconANGLE UPDATED 12:05 EDT / JULY 01 2026 AI TwelveLabs raises $100M to bring superintelligence to AI video models by Kyt Dotson TwelveLabs Inc.
Amazon, Radical Ventures, Korea Investment Partners, Index Ventures, Quadrille Capital and Red Bull Ventures also participated in the round.
- " TwelveLabs is bringing genuine AI power to the field with its technology, having built frontier foundation models capable of video understanding.
The company worked from the ground up to construct multimodal models that weren't simply large language models that process video, but models that natively understand video.
- It understands scene boundaries, entities, time segments and what's happening, enabling LLMs to reason across visual information.
It operates similarly to how large language models process large documents and images, summarizing them in markup languages to make them easier to understand.
- As part of the funding, TwelveLabs is deepening its relationship with Amazon Web Services.
The company's service has been available on AWS Marketplace since at least 2025, alongside managed access to foundation models via Amazon Bedrock .

Amazon, Radical Ventures, Korea Investment Partners, Index Ventures, Quadrille Capital and Red Bull Ventures also participated in the round. Today's capital infusion brings the company's total raised to more than $207 million. "Five years ago, we made a contrarian bet: The substrate of machine intelligence is recorded reality in motion, not language," said co-founder and Chief Executive Jae Lee.
The company worked from the ground up to construct multimodal models that weren't simply large language models that process video, but models that natively understand video. The company's flagship products include the Marengo model family, with the 3. 0 version released late last year and Pegasus 1.
