AI coding startup Cognition is reportedly preparing to raise another major funding round at a $40 billion valuation, according to TechCrunch. This comes just a few months after the company secured $1 billion in funding at a $26 billion valuation.

The potential increase in valuation highlights strong investor interest in AI-driven development tools, with Cognition positioned as a leading player in this rapidly evolving sector. The exact timing and size of the new round remain undisclosed.

For Japanese markets, the growing valuation of AI startups like Cognition signals continued global enthusiasm for AI innovation, which could influence local investment trends in technology and software development companies.
