Excited to partner with @DiscoLoopAI ! They are actively hiring across engineering & research - please reach out if the mission sounds interesting to you.
When I was at Scale in 2016, self-driving was the first place where I saw how hard it is to make AI work reliably in the real world. A decade later, we've gone from autonomy demos to autonomy at national scale!
@AppliedInt deploying thousands of autonomous trucks with @HUMAIN is just the beginning. Physical AI will become embedded throughout the infrastructure around us, and the Applied Intuition team will be at the forefront of this shift. Congrats @qasar & team!

For the Season 2 premiere of Builders, @josh_coyne and I sat down with @katelyn_lesse and @angjiang from Anthropic to learn from their expertise building & using agents. We also dug into Anthropic's roadmap and what they plan to build vs. working with startups. Link below!

I'd followed the @EngramLab team's work for years before they joined together to start the company. It was clear they were each obsessed with a problem most of the industry hadn't fully appreciated yet: memory.
Engram gives an organization a memory its AI can reuse, so models stop relearning the same context on every query. The results hold up against frontier systems at a fraction of the cost.
They are out of stealth today with $98M raised. So excited to lead their Series A & partner with @dan_biderman, @EyubogluSabri, @realJessyLin, @jxmnop, @scott_linderman, and Chris!

Markie is one of the most prescient people I know on AI, and I've been lucky to have a front row seat since the beginning. @PoeticHQ hit an 8-figure run rate and became profitable in 2025 with just 4 people. At a moment when token ROI is under scrutiny everywhere, @markiewagner and the Poetic team have already built a viable solution.
