10 minutes into my first meeting with @lqiao I knew I wanted to partner with her on Fireworks. The team and her still worked at Meta & Google, but the entrepreneur within was crystal clear. The idea has evolved tremendously from that initial pitch deck, but less than 4 years later: - Over $1B in run rate - 40 trillion tokens/day - 95% tks from models specialized to an enterprise's needs Awesome round with awesome partners.

Legal services is a trillion dollar market every year, but software spend into legal tech is only about $40 billion of it. That's 4% software, 96% service. Every other knowledge industry we've digitized has flipped that ratio. Legal hasn't, yet. I joined the @theallinpod on stage at @RaiseSummit in Paris last week to talk about why that's about to change, and why @WeAreLegora isn't here to replace lawyers. Our job is to help them move from a pre-AI world to a post-AI one. The job doesn't disappear. The tasks change. And this market is about to get a lot bigger, not smaller. Thanks to RAISE Summit for hosting us in Paris, and to the All-In crew for having me on stage. Full conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=J0bce9…

A lawyer friend on Legora: "Legora really helped with this latest motion, which was dense with past issues in the case. Now my paralegal says she cannot live without it. It is just too remarkable and timesaving."

daily traders go brrr

We just closed the biggest quarter in @WeAreLegora's history: more than 50% QoQ growth, seven quarters running. But what I actually care most about is this: well over 100,000 active lawyers are now using Legora. If you'd told me when we started that multiple percentage points of the world's legal professionals would be on Legora less than two years after launch, I wouldn't have believed you. We have a Slack channel called "Customer love." Quotes like the ones below land there almost daily, and reading them makes me genuinely excited for what we're shipping in Q3. The growth number is nice. This is the point.

Happy Birthday America!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Many companies are #1 in a benchmark they crafted. We worked with @micro1 to create an independently audited benchmark to measure document extraction performance with long documents. The results of LongExtractBench show the nuances companies are likely to find in the real world. micro1 tested frontier models with max reasoning and document processing platforms with their strongest configurations, and found notable precision/recall and completion tradeoffs across most. Reducto’s Deep Extract leads the industry by a wide margin. 🧵

“The @Benchmark investment in @Starcloud_ was about the people.” Thanks @EverettRandle and @ChetanP Puttagunta 🙏🥹 @MollySOShea, @sourceryy

Starcloud has been selected by @NASA as one of 37 companies (the only space-data center company) to advance Moon and Mars technology! 🚀 @Starcloud_ msn.com/en-us/news/tec…

Incredible! The American startup ecosystem thrives when we have multiple model providers at the frontier. Congratulations to OpenAI and Cerebras!

The largest, frontier OAI model at nearly 750 tps on Cerebras! "We're also launching GPT‑5.6 Sol on Cerebras at up to 750 tokens per second in July, bringing frontier intelligence to customers at unprecedented speed."

@ProbyShandilya 🙌

Really great podcast with @chetanp! Some great points on the future of AI application software and how value shifts as the marginal cost of code trends toward zero. He had a line that stuck with me - "you can easily imagine a future where the perception of value of code disappears and all the perception of value is transferred to what service do you provide me?"

New @Starcloud_ facility taking shape! 🚀 @ezrafeilden, @AdiOltean

Enjoyed talking through how go-to-market for enterprise AI applications is continuously evolving on this podcast. Please listen!

Legora went through @ycombinator in W24. I know firsthand how hard it is to navigate legal as an early-stage founder. Today, @CooleyLLP is launching Cooley GO Lab using the @WeAreLegora Portal, bringing their knowledge and workflows directly to YC founders, so legal needs can move faster.

From our initial investment when we led the Series A to today, this incredible team continues to democratize access to financial instruments by abstracting away complexity that's existed for decades. Fomo's execution is simply remarkable.
