AI dominated early 2026 venture activity, led by mega-raises such as OpenAI ($110B), Anthropic ($30B), xAI ($20B), Waymo ($16B), Databricks ($5B), and Anduril (~$4B). Separately, MyFitnessPal acquired Cal AI, the viral AI calorie-tracking app with about 15 million downloads and roughly $30M annual revenue; Cal AI co-founder Zach Yadegari and the seven-person team were retained and the app will integrate MyFitnessPal's nutrition database while remaining operationally independent. Deal terms were not disclosed.
