@adarsh_exe Insane

A year ago, our entire company fit into one conference room. Now, we’ve moved offices twice to keep up with our growth. We’re a team of more than 300 people globally, across engineering, product, and operations. I’m proud of how far we’ve come, and even more energized about where we’re going. This raise wasn’t out of necessity. Mercor is profitable and operating from strength. The round was driven by inbound investor interest, and we closed it in 5 days. We’re hiring across nearly every function. Join us: mercor.com/careers

@BrendanFoody @felicis @benchmark @generalcatalyst Insane slope 🤯

We’ve raised our $350M Series C at a $10B valuation from @felicis, @benchmark, and @generalcatalyst. Just 2 years after starting, Mercor is paying $1.5 million per day to experts in our marketplace. We’re creating a new category of work in the AI economy, where software engineers, bankers, lawyers, and other professionals earn based on their experience while advancing the frontier of AI. While most new categories take time to build momentum, we’ve broken every growth record. For comparison, in their first 2 years: - Uber paid out just over a $1 million to drivers - Airbnb paid out $10 million to hosts We are unlocking human potential in the AI economy.

Mercor (@mercor_ai) scaled from $1-500M in revenue run rate in the last 17 months, making us the fastest growing company of all time. Our growth is accelerating. We averaged 11% week over week growth in July, 18% WoW growth in August, and 19% WoW growth in September. One trend driving this meteoric growth: the Economy is Becoming an RL Environment Machine. Reinforcement learning is becoming so effective that agents can hillclimb any benchmark, but humans need to define the rewards to automate everything. While everyone fears job loss, we’re creating a new category of knowledge work faster than any other time in history. The future of work will converge on training agents. We're paying out over $1M / day to people in our marketplace and hiring experts rapidly across nearly every domain: software engineers, doctors, lawyers, consultants, bankers, and many more.

@AnuragS78234431 - so question_start is also detected by a video LLM by processing these 5 second videos in chronological order? - how do you judge the "ideal" time spent for a given question?

5/10 How it works: 1️⃣ Record continuous 5-sec videos 2️⃣ Capture question start timestamps ⏳ 3️⃣ Merge relevant video segments 🎞️ 4️⃣ Feed them to an LLM for behavior detection 🧠🔍

🚀 Milestone Unlocked! 🚀 We've just leveled up our Anti-Pattern detection tool—now, it can spot when students are rushing through questions! ⏩🔍 👇 Watch our demo with the AlphaRead app in this thread. (IXL demo can be found in 6/10)

@jwblackwell @OpenAI Yeah you are right, so confusing 😕

@rakshit7even @OpenAI looks like DALL-E they really messed the launch up again and haven't made it clear when you have access
