I can't believe we managed to hit 1 million downloads in our first year with @c15tdev. We feel like we're just getting started. We can't wait to talk more about c15t 2.0 very soon!

Inspired by @openclaw, I wanted to build something that put orchestration at the core of the harness and explored an event-driven approach. Check out project "Utah"

Turns out @OpenClaw is what actually becomes Skynet. An ever growing collection of unsupervised, possibly forgotten, autonomous agents with self-editable SOUL documents governing their morality, many using open source models with no significant guardrails, set loose on the internet and connected to each other via MoltBook, with no traceability or accountability.

@pepicrft, Founder of @tuistdev, is building infrastructure for modern mobile teams. Faster builds. Simpler workflows. Tooling built to scale. Pedro wanted investors who understood the product early. 🎥 Watch his story ↓

Very excited to announce that Astranis is building a new satellite for Oman. We've signed a 9-figure contract with MB Group —the largest oil and gas conglomerate in Oman— to bring Oman its first dedicated communications satellite. This partnership was announced today in Oman with the leadership of MB Group and senior government officials from the Oman Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology. The deal is part of an overall $200 million investment by MB Group in sovereign connectivity, advancing the Vision 2040 program by the Oman government. This satellite will go up on our Block 3 launch later this year, going from contract to operations in months, not years. Sovereign connectivity is no longer optional. Countries need private, secure networks to know their data is secure and in the right hands. Astranis builds dedicated satellites that make this possible, giving our customer full control over payload configuration, coverage, and network operations. We are the only company that gives our customers a standalone, dedicated network that spans their geography of choice and delivers enterprise-grade security, customizability, and operational visibility of the network and data traffic. This type of infrastructure is impossible to replicate with shared networks or terrestrial links alone. And that's why countries like Oman and Taiwan are choosing Astranis. We built Astranis on the belief that access to secure, reliable communications infrastructure is foundational to growth. It's an honor to partner with MB Group and Oman, and we look forward to supporting the people of Oman and their digital future for many years to come.

Wow, 1,500 stars! We had an incredible first year so far. @c15tdev has been the most important open source project that @kaylee_dev and I have worked on! We can't wait to show you what's in store for 2.0!

I am so excited for this to be live, and you all to give it a listen!

5.1M LFM downloads and going! not too bad @liquidai

Astranis today builds more commercial GEO satellites than the rest of the industry combined. But we're not stopping there. We believe it’s critical that we bring back manufacturing to America and rebuild our industrial base. Especially in aerospace and defense. That’s why we are scaling up production, tripling our output from 8 to 24 satellites per year. We have no choice— our commercial and defense customers demand it. They want as many satellites as we can build. Here’s how: ‣ We’re making huge investments in our in-house machining capabilities. That includes our massive new Makino Mag3.EX. It’s a beast of a horizontal endmill, weighing in at 100,000 pounds. it can remove a ridiculous 75 pounds of metal per minute. We’re using it to bring structural panel builds in house. Previously, those panels were quoted with over a 1-year lead time, but we’ll machine our own panels in a single day. ‣ We’ve added other CNC machines in total now also, basically bringing them in as fast as we can buy them, from manufacturers like Haas, Matsuura, and DMG Mori. And we are running lights-out on many of these machines today, building everything from brackets to boxes to other structural elements, in house, from raw aluminum and titanium stock. ‣ We’re upgrading our in-house testing and qualification. We added a new crown jewel recently, a massive 15-foot-diameter vacuum chamber with pumps capable of maintaining a hard vacuum even as we fire xenon thrusters inside it. We’ve done some outrageously cool testing in this chamber, bringing in house yet another costly and time-consuming test. ‣ We upgraded our electronics labs, outfitting them with state of the art equipment for board bringup and testing. Power supplies, signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and more. We now have two large labs— one for our digital payloads, and one for the satellite bus including power, avionics, and guidance-navigation-control (GNC) systems. ‣ And, of course, we’re hiring. We now have an incredible team of 500 working out of our San Francisco office daily, and we’re hiring even more now to reach scale. We may be the largest company in SF with a 5-days-per-week in person office culture. Because there’s no other way to build real hardware. This is the kind of investment in our capabilities it takes to bring real manufacturing back to America— a lot of hardware, a lot of people, and a lot of iterative improvement along the way. But we know we can do it, and we know we must do it. For our customers and for our country.

Today, we're excited to share that we have raised a $140M Series D, welcoming new investors @sequoia, @kleinerperkins and @nvidia alongside the continued support of our existing partners!

Even if a fund could invest in every AI startup, that doesn't create a closed system, because technology outcomes live in the open world: The real genius is knowing when not to invest, knowing why to invest, and knowing infinite capital can’t guarantee infinite outcomes.

Startups get to reject you. They get to limit allocations. They get to choose your competitor over you. They get to avoid you entirely if they think you’re just trying to “index the future.”

Owning 1% of every AI company isn’t a strategy; it’s a very expensive form of FOMO
