Adapter is out of stealth. 🧠 AI knows everything about the world and almost nothing about yours. We spent three and a half years fixing that — with $17.8M from GV, Bond, Hillspire and others to build a cognition layer for AI. It's a living knowledge graph of your world: deeper than any context window, cheaper to run, and sovereign to you. It never trains anyone's models. Grateful to Alex Konrad & Upstarts for the deep dive 👇 @adapter bit.ly/4ykeE9F

Enjoyed speaking with Sabrina Ortiz (@TheDeepView) about why Google's AI Overviews reveal AI's fundamental challenge: hallucination isn't a bug awaiting a fix — it's a property of how LLMs generate text. At 5 trillion searches a year, even a 90% accuracy rate means misinformation at industrial scale. thedeepview.com/articles/why-g…

218/350 on the AI Campus Index™ puts @NJIT in the Top 25 Nationally — and we're just getting started. AI Exploration Day, the Grace Hopper AI Research Institute, and world-class data science research are building New Jersey's AI future. 🚀

RT @dropalltables: For many, this will be a ChatGPT moment. The level of insight now readily accessible via an API without all of that mu…

@AdamGhetti I've spent my career building systems to make sense of massive, messy graphs of data. Adapter does it for the one graph that matters most: yours.

Learn more about what we have been up to @adapter thanks to Alex Konrad taking time to get to authentically getting to know us and our pursuits.

Today, we're opening applications for access to Adapter Mind to builders of all kinds! We're onboarding the next group of builders by hand. Apply for access: adapter.com/get-access

AI knows everything about the world and almost nothing about yours. We built Adapter to fix that: a cognition layer that turns your data into understanding you can actually trust — and that stays yours. Live today. Proud of this team. 👇

Great running into Dr. Vikas Chaudhary today in Austin after nearly 25 years! Back when I was just starting out as a professor at the University of New Mexico, he was one of my first master's students — he went on to earn his PhD at Arizona State University and is now a very successful hardware design engineer. Wonderful to reconnect decades later. 🤠

In Berlin this week serving as a panelist for the @Helmholtz Association "Information" research strategy review. Honored to help evaluate the science shaping Germany's data, computing, and AI future. 🇩🇪

In Baltimore for #TPC26, the Trillion Parameter Consortium's annual all-hands meeting. Great to gather the global AI for science community and push large-scale AI and HPC forward. The momentum around scientific discovery here is real.

Named one of the most influential researchers in scientific computing by Scientific Computing World. My new @NJIT Q&A covers where AI infrastructure goes next, from agentic AI to greener data centers: news.njit.edu/david-bader-re… #HPC #AI

Thirty years ago today, I earned my PhD in electrical engineering at @UofMaryland under Joseph JaJa. His mentorship in parallel algorithms set the course for everything that followed — and I'm still chasing the same big questions. #UMD #GoTerps

Honored to be recognized as part of the inaugural SCW75 by Scientific Computing World — celebrating leaders shaping the future of scientific computing across HPC, AI, simulation and research infrastructure. Thank you to Scientific Computing World for the recognition. #SCW75 #ScientificComputing #HPC #AI #ResearchComputing #Simulation

Honored to be in New Orleans this week for the 40th @IPDPS 🎉 Four decades as the premier venue for parallel & distributed computing — the community that's shaped our field and my own career. Looking forward to the talks, the hallway conversations, and the reunions. #IPDPS2026 #HPC @ComputerSociety

Proud moment today: hooding my PhD student Dr. Fuhuan Li at NJIT commencement. Watching a student cross that stage never gets old. Onward to Amazon, Fuhuan. The field is lucky to have you. 🎓

At @NJIT this morning for "A Chip Odyssey" — a film screening and dialogue with Director Hsiao Chu-chen and Producer Ben Tsiang. The story of semiconductors has never been more relevant to the AI infrastructure shaping our world.

Back in my hometown of Bethlehem, PA today for the Fastcode workshop at @LehighU. Returning to where my parallel computing journey began in the late 1980s is always something special. Looking forward to great conversations on software performance engineering in the LLM era.

Talked with Ian Krietzberg at @PuckNews about Elon's pivot and the SpaceX–Anthropic deal. My take: AI is heading where streaming went — walled gardens coming down, frontier labs becoming suppliers and platforms. Today's business models can't yet support today's models. puck.news/is-elon-giving…
