Exciting! This is the rocketship to join 🚀

Big update: I’m starting a new company. 6 months ago, @_bschmidtchen and I made a bet. What if entire worlds could be generated on the fly, pixel by pixel? World models are the next platform shift, and we saw it coming. Since then, we’ve: - secured major contracts across media and physical AI industries - assembled a team of 10+ from Apple, Meta, Google, Adobe & Microsoft - raised from top-tier investors More details soon. We’re scaling fast, and hiring now. Come build with us: reactor.inc

The World Models era is here. AI that understands the world, and lets you create and interact with new ones, all in real time. More soon.

I have a customer with a ton of PDFs they want an LLM on top of, but we're hitting context window limits Is there a high-level API that lets me upload a bunch of PDFs, and then provides a "tool" that I can give to an LLM?

The next billion buyers won’t be people. They’ll be agents 🤖 @sapiom is at the epicenter of this 🔥 Hosted a lunch with @sapiom (@i_zerbib) & @okta (@Austinarensberg) & builders across agentic infra to dig into what's next: agents that autonomously provision resources, transact, and pay. Lots of discussion on the need for an agentic trust layer (policy/identity/risk) and web being re-indexed for agents where headless browsers will be the norm. Not surprising, but model retention is brutal (perf dips → churn spikes) Reach out if you're building in agentic trust, browser automation or agent payments

. @sapiom is building the agent-native financial infrastructure layer: policy + identity/KYA + metering/billing + multi-rail settlement into a single API. This is a massive opportunity to capture the trillions in addressable spend as the economy shifts from human-to-business to autonomous machines-to-business commerce 💰 Having scaled @Shopify Pay to $100B+ GMV, @i_zerbib is the perfect founder to build the trust and payments layers for the agentic era 🔥 Proud to be an early investor🙏 & excited to welcome @Accel leading the latest round sapiom.ai/blog/sapiom-ra…

Talked to a dozen people, my estimated P&L for all investors in OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and Waymo. Investors (money in, preferred only) are up ~$700B on just these four.

@MavorParker @VmaxAI @withmartian Love this. Mic drop 🎤 "treating env generation as a computational process to be optimized rather than an operations business"

Hosted our 6th gathering with @MohapatraHemant @LightspeedIndia last night. Room full of AI researchers/engineers from @GoogleDeepMind, @Meta, @Microsoft, @Apple, @netflix, @nvidia, @MistralAI and really impressive founders from @SkyflowAPI , @bespokelabsai, @VmaxAI, @smallest_AI and others. Great energy and deep technical discussions: 💡 RL Paradox: While scaling is debated, founders are seeing significant model improvements building RL-native startups. 💡 Datacenter Physics: Humans are the constraint (Osha). Robotics allow wider, taller, heavier racks to pack denser compute. 💡 Model Size: Small/fine-tuned wins on efficiency, but generalist large models are holding their ground surprisingly well without fine-tuning. 💡 Agents: Enterprise adoption is accelerating, but compounding errors in long task chains remains the primary engineering hurdle. 💡The Context Unlock: Today we manually paste context into chat. The next opportunity is granting models secure, OS-level access to local filesystems. Huge thanks to everyone who came out!

Hosted a fantastic generative-media AI dinner with @ashray_malhotra & Elena 🔥 Our icebreaker unlocked some wild perspectives: “What’s one non-obvious thing you expect to be true in 2026?” 🤯 At one point we realized the product leads behind several of the world’s most-used video models were sitting right next to each other. Thank you everyone who brought their insight and energy @gorkem & @burkaygur at @fal , @ZeevFarbman & Shani at @Lightricks, @albtaiut at Reactor (🚀), @SabareeshChinta at @Google Veo, @caroingeborn at @LumaLabsAI, and friends from @minimax_ai, @netflix $ @Adobe 🙏 If you’re building something groundbreaking in generative media and want to join future dinners, feel free to reach out.

I love this! Well done @MohapatraHemant @LightspeedIndia 👏 Can I also apply for allocations in these amazing startups? Asking for a friend.
Hemant Mohapatra@MohapatraHemant

Today's a special day for @LightspeedIndia. Introducing INDIA ASCENDS'2026, a program purpose-built for India's youngest (>25yo), boldest, cohort of world shapers & change makers. If you are one of them, put your headphones on, turn to volume to max, click on the video, and read on :) Building something is hard but building something the world has never seen before is nigh impossible. There is this concept of not just building a kingdom, but building a kingdom at the edge of a precipice -- founders who want to go all the way to the edge of what’s possible, beyond which there is no land, there is no road, the compass stops working, and they look into the abyss, and say ‘yes, this is for me, this will be my life’s work’. These are the rarest of birds that take the plunge and know they’d fall before they fly, but when they fly, oh how glorious do they look. We @lightspeedindia have been fortunate to partner with several of these founders. We met @PixxelSpace when the founders @awaisahmedna @kshitijgokul were just 22yo. We backed @Airbound_Aero when @TheRealNamzoo was just 17. We’ve backed many others doing their life’s work at absolute cutting edge of what’s possible - @Arun_Vinayak_S of @ExponentEnergy, @pratykumar & @vivekrag of @SarvamAI @devdutdalal & @XaviLaguarta at @MittiLabs and more. Beyond our portfolio, there is some amazing founders doing their life’s work - @PawanKChandana @SkyrootA , @sohamsankaran @PopVaxIndia , @khushhhi_ @AsperaAero, @nagokul @CynLr00, @adrnschm @sarlaaviation, @deepigoyal @lataerospace & @temple, @Manu_J_Nair @EtherealXTech & many more. We need more of these founders coming out of India. Not just that, we need to fill gap that exists in this market which is in backing really young (<25yo) founders who are tinkering in school or college labs, or spending their weekends building, experimenting and failing fast, and are truly building globally competitive and de novo tech that, if it works, can have huge consequences in the world. To that end, we are proud to launch INDIA ASCENDS'2026 -- our flagship yearly program for the most cracked young builders in the country doing incredible cutting-edge research in robotics, quantum, space, energy, AI, bio or more. Our program applications open today and we’ll select 12-15 of the best, boldest ideas that we think has the potential to shape the future. We’ll bring them all to BLR for a 2-day program. Each participant will get ~$100K in support from our partners @AnthropicAI @GroqInc , @googlecloud @awscloud and we’ll also select 3-4 winners who will get venture funded to build their dream starting from $200K all the way to $3M and almost $500K of non-dilutive credits & grants from our partners. We look forward to seeing the boldest ideas you've been working on. Link to apply in the first comment:

Gemini 3.0 is here 🔥 @GoogleDeepMind engineers were posting like God-mode just got unlocked 🤔 Haven’t seen this level of pre-launch energy around a @Google model… ever. For once it doesn’t feel like the usual ‘keep it quiet’ @Google launch. They’re letting Gemini 3.0 sprint this time!
