Conferences aren’t about stages. They’re about engineered collisions between the right people. We are building those collisions at scale. Stay tuned for the next gen of tech events.

Linkerbot, the global leader in humanoid robot hands, just doubled its valuation to billion overnight. While Silicon Valley demos robots that walk, China ships the fingers that build things. The most critical part of embodied AI was never the brain. It was always the grip. @machinasummit

AI powered crypto hacks just hit million this year. North Korea deploys agentic AI that scans smart contracts and generates exploits at machine speed. Meanwhile Anthropic builds Claude Mythos for defense. The security war is no longer human vs human. It is algorithm vs algorithm. @raisesummit @parisblockweek

Paradigm unveiled PACTs to protect Satoshi's 1.1 million Bitcoin from quantum threats without moving the coins. The genius move: prove ownership cryptographically without exposing the private keys. Quantum computing was supposed to kill Bitcoin's genesis era. Instead, cryptographers just found a way to armor it. @parisblockweek

Pentagon signs deals with 7 AI companies: SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, and Reflection. Anthropic notably absent. The military just picked its AI suppliers for classified work. When the Pentagon draws the battle lines, neutrality becomes a luxury no lab can afford. @raisesummit

An AI agent just filed paperwork and formed its own U.S. company, complete with federal EIN. Corporate personhood has existed for a century. What changed is who sits in the operator chair. We crossed from automation to economic participation. @raisesummit

xAI launched Grok 4.3 with reasoning that cannot be turned off. While everyone else treats AI reasoning as an optional mode, Musk made it mandatory. The model that thinks by default versus the model you have to ask to think. That philosophical difference will matter. @raisesummit

Meta just acquired Assured Robot Intelligence for humanoid AI technology. While everyone debates whether robots will replace workers, Zuckerberg is building the replacement. The VR company that bet on virtual worlds now wants to populate the physical one. @machinasummit

The first AI agent just formed its own corporation and got an EIN from the IRS. Manfred has a bank account, crypto wallet, can hire staff, and transacts in 30+ cryptocurrencies autonomously. We are watching the birth of the first artificial economic actor in history. @raisesummit @parisblockweek

Google will spend billion on AI infrastructure in 2026. That is double India's entire defense budget. We are watching the largest capital deployment in tech history unfold in real time. The AI war is not being fought with algorithms. It is being fought with balance sheets. @raisesummit

Huawei expects billion in AI chip revenue this year, up 60% as Chinese firms scramble for Ascend 950PR processors. The export controls were supposed to slow China down. Instead they taught China to build its own supply chain. The chip war created the competitor it tried to prevent. @raisesummit

OpenAI just launched GPT 5.5 Cyber exclusively for "critical cyber defenders." The age of general purpose AI is ending. The age of specialized, restricted access models is beginning. The real power was never in making AI available to everyone. It was in controlling who gets which version. @raisesummit

Anthropic just hit trillion on secondary markets while OpenAI trades at billion. The company banned by the Pentagon now has a higher valuation than the one that took the defense contract. Sometimes the market teaches better lessons about trust than policy makers ever could. @raisesummit

BNB Chain has 150,000 AI agents running on chain. 43,750% growth since January. Plus Binance launched keyless wallets so AI bots can trade without touching your main account. Crypto accidentally built the perfect financial rails for machines. Humans were just the warm up act. @parisblockweek @raisesummit

SoftBank is building robots to build the data centers that train the AI. Roze AI: autonomous construction bots for server farms, targeting a billion IPO by year end. You need infrastructure to build AI. But now you need AI to build infrastructure. The loop just closed. @machinasummit

OpenAI shipped GPT 5.5 with image generation, computer use, and agentic workflows. While everyone argues about AGI timelines, Sam just productized the future of knowledge work. The chatbot era is over. The AI worker era began last Tuesday. @raisesummit

Bitcoin faces an impossible choice: freeze 5.6 million coins worth $440 billion to protect against quantum attacks, or stay true to its censorship resistance promise and risk total theft. There is no good answer when your core philosophy collides with existential threats. @parisblockweek

Apptronik just hired the architect of Waymo ride hailing as CPO. Nine hundred thirty five million dollars in funding. The R&D phase is over. Humanoid robots are about to transition from lab curiosities to mass market products. This is how industries cross the chasm. @machinasummit

JPMorgan just called it. Humanoid robotics hit its inflection point. 13,000 units shipped in 2025. Morgan Stanley doubled their 2026 forecast to 28,000 units. Figure raises M, Physical Intelligence hits B valuation. The validation phase is over. Scale begins now. @machinasummit

Tesla is converting its Fremont factory from Model S and X production to humanoid robots in just 4 months. Musk called it insane speed. They are not just building a product. They are rewiring an entire automotive plant for machines that make machines. This is vertical integration eating itself. @machinasummit
