I grew Polsia from $0 to $10M run rate in 5 months. Solo + AI. Zero employees. Everyone asks me how. Presenting aisloP episode 2: “The Rise”

Walking the walk

The Orteig Prize put Lindbergh across the Atlantic and ignited the airline age. The Kremer Prize produced human-powered flight. The Ansari XPRIZE opened private spaceflight. Today, we're announcing The Boom Prize: $750k in cash and $50k in Boom stock for the first American amateur-built radio controlled airplane to break the sound barrier. Judges are @rookisaacman, @lrocket, @DJSnM, and Phil Condit. The prize is co-sponsored by Alex Gerko, @ElectricCapital, @caffeinatedcap, @balajis, @Denver_Ventures, and @joshbuckley. Rules and registration on the Boom website. This is going to be exciting!

Precision delivery of cargo, to anywhere on earth, in under an hour. Arc spacecraft will be pre-positioned in Low-Earth Orbit, forming constellations tailored to customer needs. What's the cargo? We refer to what Arc carries as mission-enabling payloads — systems, sensors, and supplies that can make the difference between the success or failure of a mission.

Boom will be offering a prize—$50k cash and $50k in Boom stock—for the first amateur-built RC airplane to exceed Mach 1.

Symphony HPC rotor build is complete. This is the second coolest thing Boom has ever built.

Starcloud CEO Philip Johnston (@PhilipJohnston) says: "The SpaceX IPO is gonna be viewed historically as the most undervalued IPO of all time." "I think they will tear through $10 trillion within, certainly within the next couple of years, & then have almost unlimited TAM for what they're building." "Everything else is gonna have to go through SpaceX." "It's like owning the railroads. Lots of businesses will be built on top of it, like our business will be built on top of it, but the railroads are a great business to own, for sure." On chips, @Starcloud_ is agnostic: "We welcome all chips.. we are chip agnostic." "We're speaking with SambaNova. We hope to fly the SambaNova chip. With Cerebras, they have an incredible inference chip, we have to fly that chip." "Within NVIDIA, the Groq architecture actually can be potentially well-suited for space as well." "We flew three Arm GPUs on our first spacecraft. Nobody knows about that, but we did." FYI Starcloud is scaling up: "We're building a campus to set up a huge manufacturing line for what we're calling Starcloud 3, which is the vehicle which will fit on Starship." "We can potentially fit up to 10 megawatts of compute capacity per Starship launch." @elonmusk

Thanks for the @Starcloud_ and orbital data center feature @CNN! 🚀

the Human voice is beautiful, so the tools we build for it should be too

Last night we had our pals over for spaghetti & a western. Our new home is the old Warner Bros. recording studios in Soho which means we have a cinema. We watched A Fistful of Dollars. Couldn’t be anything else; Sergio Leone is our spiritual guide.

I invested in @Speechify in late 2019 when it was a free text to speech app it’s been a privilege to see @cliffweitzman & team keep pulling rabbits out of hats from accessibility to productivity and AI infrastructure, now ranking #1 for TTS models:

Isaac 1 carries the torch of our first shipping robot, Isaac 0, and takes it further. Isaac 0, which has been shipping across California for months, has folded for 2000+ hours for our customers and folds 1000+ pounds of laundry every week. We've already shown that shipping is core to who we are as a company, which is why we’re excited to begin Isaac 1 deliveries this fall.

SpeechifyAI’s Simba 3.2 takes the #1 spot on the Artificial Analysis Speech Arena Leaderboard, surpassing Sonic 3.5, Inworld Realtime TTS 1.5 Max and Google’s Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS Simba 3.2 is the latest TTS model from @SpeechifyAI. Key takeaways: ➤ Quality: Simba 3.2 has an Elo score of 1,233 (+17/-17) based on 1,258 arena appearances, placing it ahead of Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS at 1,214 and Sonic 3.5 at 1,210. ➤ Pricing: At $10/1M characters, Simba 3.2 is the lowest-priced model among the current Speech Arena leaders, compared to Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS ($18.3/1M characters), Inworld Realtime TTS 1.5 Max ($26/1M characters), and Sonic 3.5 ($39/1M characters). ➤ Speed: 29.2 characters per second, compared to 89 characters per second for Inworld Realtime TTS 1.5 Max and 24.5 characters per second for Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS.

Now that we're actively building a turbine and a turbine factory, we've moved to video updates for our investors. Here is our Q2 investor update, with just one juicy tidbit redacted for now. Hint: there is an Easter egg at the end🥚

Robots and homes, done right, go so well together. ... but worthy attempts at building up to a real product with a form and function that make sense are few in number. That's why we quit Apple in 2024 and founded Weave.

Just got this message from a friend who saw the Isaac 1 launch today

I’m so hyped, finally an American robotics company shipping autonomy this fall not in 2027-2029

Today we’re launching Isaac 1, our robot built from the ground up for the home. Deliveries begin this fall.
