Wing will invest up to $125 million in US drone manufacturing over two years. Its new Fort Worth facility will have capacity to produce tens of thousands of delivery aircraft annually.

Wing, the drone delivery company owned by Alphabet, will invest up to $125 million in US drone manufacturing over the next two years, the company announced on its website. The investment includes a new 15,000-square-foot facility in Fort Worth, Texas, that will create up to 100 manufacturing jobs.

The factory will have capacity to build tens of thousands of delivery aircraft each year. Wing will use the aircraft to support its planned expansion across nearly 20 US markets and reach more than 40 million Americans by 2027.

Wing currently operates from more than 70 sites across major US metropolitan areas. The company says it completed more than one million US home deliveries this year.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
