The sharp ascent of AI coding startup Cognition shows no sign of slowing, with the company confirming a Series E funding round of $2 billion.

The latest fundraising, revealed earlier this week, saw the company’s valuation soar to $48 billion.

That constitutes a significant increase in just three-and-a-half months, with Cognition previously closing a $1 billion Series D and $26 billion valuation in May.
