// there are moments when breakthroughs shape entire markets and the way we work with technology we've seen similar inflection points from the birth of the Internet to the conception of LLMs and then autonomous agents > and I believe we're witnessing a pivotal one here I've had the privilege of knowing @contextkingceo living together at the @mission__ctrl hacker house. very few founders think this deeply about where AI systems actually break once they leave the demo phase vector search helped bootstrap the first wave of RAG that extended the use of agents into every domain/industry but at real scale, with millions of documents, evolving workflows, production agents, similarity ≠ truth any autonomous system depends on context to work. but retrieval needs to be grounded in the semantic meaning to be contextually accurate. that's how we as humans work. and that's how AI would need to work alongside humans this means that ontology-first context graphs will be a new core primitive for the AI stack. and as context graphs took over mindshare in the past months, @hydra_db takes a foundational approach to infrastructure supporting this. I host the annual @aiplus_hq AI+ Renaissance conference and spending time with hundreds of frontier teams building agents, multimodal systems, and enterprise AI, this is one of the companies I am most excited about the addressable market here is massive and still largely untapped as AI becomes embedded everywhere we work and live - from b2b systems like CRMs and internal knowledge tools to consumer memory layers in devices and everyday apps - this category will only grow in importance huge congrats to Nishkarsh and team, and proud to be an angel investor one of the highest-leverage infra bets I’ve seen in recent times still very early to the market and already dominating. hail hydra.

We've raised $6.5M to kill vector databases. Every system today retrieves context the same way: vector search that stores everything as flat embeddings and returns whatever "feels" closest. Similar, sure. Relevant? Almost never. Embeddings can’t tell a Q3 renewal clause from a Q1 termination notice if the language is close enough. A friend of mine asked his AI about a contract last week, and it returned a detailed, perfectly crafted answer pulled from a completely different client’s file. Once you’re dealing with 10M+ documents, these mix-ups happen all the time. VectorDB accuracy goes to shit. We built @hydra_db for exactly this. HydraDB builds an ontology-first context graph over your data, maps relationships between entities, understands the 'why' behind documents, and tracks how information evolves over time. So when you ask about 'Apple,' it knows you mean the company you're serving as a customer. Not the fruit. Even when a vector DB's similarity score says 0.94. More below ⬇️

🏆Solo win of most hardcore infra at the @browser_use hackathon!!! Quantized their model & made some GPU + library optimizations to make it 3-6X FASTER While increasing performance with @dedaluslabs + @supermemory Below is it interacting in realtime, faster than a human

this is the thesis behind constellationhouse.com. registering another planet in the sf universe with @SurbhiTodi, inspired by mission control.
Neall@neallseth

San Franciscan behavior is often inscrutable from the outside. Is it poverty? Contrarianism? Inexplicable quirks of the techno-bohemian class? It starts making sense when you walk out of SFO, and into the reality distortion field that’s inspired social deviance for decades For those on the other side: If the city is a universe, group houses (loosely defined) are its planets. Each has a unique cultural “gravity” that naturally selects for an orbital community. House “orbits” intersect, forming micro-cultural clusters which themselves overlap with peripheral clusters Given sufficient social energy, one might ride these orbital tracks across the universe Put another way: if SF is Twitter, these houses and their friends form the group chat archipelago Like GCs, houses are mostly assembled for fun, and because they’re natural platforms for conversation, events, and serendipity — not due to financial necessity as you’d see elsewhere. Starting a house is an implicit registration as a node in a sprawling social graph It’s hard to overstate these houses’ roles as SF’s serendipity machines. In some cases, they become de facto semi-public cafes or third places. Friends might flit in and out through the day, often hanging to cowork or take a quick nap on the couch It’s no surprise people choose this. It invites a social richness into life that’s hard to achieve otherwise, with no downside other than occasional raised eyebrows from people on the internet

Incredible to see original footage of Hightouch's launch pad at Mission Control -- with 3 mattresses and 3 desks in a single hacker house bedroom. Congrats to Tejas Manohar, Kashish Gupta, Josh Curl and the team on the launch of Hightouch AI Agents!
Tejas Manohar@tejasmanohar

The last few months have been the most intense period of my career. While scaling Hightouch 100%+ YoY, my cofounders and I decided to go back into early stage startup mode with a much bigger vision “What would the marketing process look like today if it was re-written with AI at every step” Introducing Hightouch Agents 🚀 hightouch.com/blog/hightouch…
