Dream raises $17M to teach AI how buildings really go together

A new startup called Dream has raised $17 million from a16z to build AI world models specifically for construction. Instead of learning from text like typical language models, Dream trains on real-world building data: over 100 million square feet of permit archives from across the United States. The model is grounded in actual physics and construction standards.

Would you trust an AI trained on building permits to help design a structure?
