@ypatil125 @appliedcompute Congrats yash and team!

Today we’re announcing $80M in new financing for @appliedcompute, to help enterprises go from general to specific intelligence. Our view is that the winners of this era will be the companies that turn their information, and expertise into intelligent systems that compound over time. They’ll have agents that get sharper every week by learning from real decisions, outcomes, and feedback.

@ypatil125 @mercor_ai @BrendanFoody Congrats Yash and team!

We partnered with the incredible team at @mercor_ai to train agents that do real work! Our latest model ranks 1st on corporate law and 4th overall on Mercor's APEX-Agents benchmark. Huge thanks to @BrendanFoody and the entire Mercor team. We’ve loved working together and are excited to keep expanding the partnership!

We raised a $150M Series B at a $1.25B valuation to fundamentally change the field of AI. Scaling is powerful, but we can't intentionally design what we don't understand.

We’ve invested in @livekit 🚀 The next generation of AI doesn’t just read and write — it sees, hears, speaks, & acts in real time. LiveKit is building the nervous system for multimodal AI, enabling devs to build and operate real-time agents at scale. salesforceventures.com/perspectives/w…

@burkaygur @FAL The GOAT and some guy with glasses

@gorkem Let’s go!

FLUX Kontext [dev] is a puppy that you can teach new tricks! Incredibly excited for the FLUX Kontext [dev] release. Open weights release allows the community to train incredibly powerful LORAs that can be used in an image editing workflow. Today we are releasing a LORA trainer and inference endpoint for FLUX Kontext [dev]. fal.ai/models/fal-ai/… If the model doesn't know how to edit a particular style or technique you can teach it in less than a couple minutes and 10 examples. Let it be a new hair style or artistic style. x.com/FAL/status/193…

@jmelaskyriazi @ChristinaPhili5 Congrats John!!!

Incredibly happy to share that we are now a family of five! Baby Alexia is doing great. @ChristinaPhili5 and I are tired but happy. Feeling thankful!
