congratulations team Astrocade (Embed 4.0) on their $56M Series B! everyone can create games
Astrocade@PlayAstrocade

We raised $56M to help build the next era of interactive entertainment. Series B led by @sequoia, Series A led by Sea. Astrocade lets anyone create games with AI, play them with friends, and share them with millions. But this isn’t about replacing creativity. It’s about giving more people the tool to bring their taste, humor, stories, and craft to life. Today, the fun goes public.

LAB is the first long-horizon, open-source legal agent benchmark, from @harvey. it will help legal teams answer "what can legal agents do today?", plan deployment, and design human-agent cooperation. autonomous legal is a deep domain, and a good benchmark can accelerate progress

I left Google DeepMind, moved from SF to NYC, all within 2 weeks to join @quadrillion_ai — to build the future of automated research intelligence with the highest slope founder and most talent dense team. I grew up in Silicon Valley — the old Facebook office was my second home. I’d hang out there after school, drawing with my crayons while looking around at the sea of computers with lines of code. Since a young age, I felt empowered to have an array of interests beyond tech: piano, ballet, figure skating, art. The valley embraced diversity of thought, and that’s what inspired me to stay for Stanford and my career thus far. But today, SF is one big hive-mind. So, I moved to NYC, away from family and friends to build a company that doesn’t need to rely on a bubble to survive. I’m meeting customers day after day in all kinds of verticals, connecting with them in different ways and seeing our product bring real value. Here, I’m able to live in diversity of thought. I’m excited to build the future of research in the city of opportunity. Let’s chat if this excites you.

As coding agents have become the standard for developing software, we've transformed Sierra's engineering interview process to be AI-native. We've documented our lessons here, and very curious how others in the industry are navigating sierra.ai/blog/the-ai-na…

.@gabepereyra is consistently early. intelligence is getting cheap, but judgment / coordination are $$. @harvey has an agent that picks up work off incidents, bug reports, and slack msgs on its own — and getting work done faster than anyone can review. they are AI-native, but the pace is still hitting them in the face most companies were not built for this, and they're next

The loudest story about AI is a lonely one. One person with an army of chatbots. Other humans are friction. That gets the future wrong. The best things aren’t built alone. In a moment of change, we want to remind the world (and ourselves) what Notion stands for: — Think Together

In 2024, @ScottWu46 & @russelljkaplan launched Devin, the first AI software engineer.  In the first two months of 2026, Devin usage surpassed all of 2025. They help huge companies finish projects in months, that previously took years. Fun to catch up, and play Ricochet Robots.
