No more manual research needed thanks to @annarmonaco and her team at @paradigmai!

Today we’re launching the newest version of @paradigmai When we started Paradigm, the goal was never to tack AI onto existing spreadsheets. It was to build a new type of interface that does the work for you. Now we’re pushing that vision much further. Workflows turn Paradigm into a system that runs research processes for you. Connect your CRM, existing spreadsheets, Slack, email, and internal data, and let Paradigm continuously run the research workflows your team already does. Same intuitive interface. But now a system of action. If you tried Paradigm before, try it again. Manual research is now a competitive liability.

After decades at MIT studying how nature builds - from spider silk to bone to nacre - I've become convinced of something: the biggest barrier to scientific progress isn't knowledge, it's connection. The insights we need already exist, scattered across millions of papers and disciplines. They're just trapped in silos that no single human mind can bridge. That's why I co-founded Unreasonable Labs together with Yuan Cao: to build superintelligence for knowledge discovery. Today we're coming out of stealth with $13.5M in seed funding led by @PlaygroundGlobal, with participation from @aixventureshq, @e14fund, and MS&AD Ventures. We're building a system that doesn't just retrieve information but reasons across it - connecting disparate ideas to generate genuinely novel hypotheses grounded in physical reality. The genesis of Unreasonable itself came from the kind of serendipity we're trying to systematize. A chance encounter with a mathematician working on category theory became the theoretical bridge between language models and structured scientific reasoning - and ultimately the foundation for everything we're building. Our mission is to replace that serendipity with steerable reasoning, so that every scientist can make those leaps deliberately, not accidentally. I'm grateful to our advisors - Kostya Novoselov, Robert Langer, and @Thom_Wolf - and to the extraordinary team making this possible. We're not building AI that replaces scientists. We're building AI that lets them solve in weeks what used to take years. The future is abundant innovation. Let's build it.

Introducing a world built by the Moonlake's world model. 🏙️ Most world models only allow for a limited action space. Moonlake maintains multimodal states across physics, appearance, geometry, and casual effects and predict how they evolve under different actions. 👇

We offered 5 people a Porsche 911 GT3 RS if they could get @WisprFlow to make a mistake It's the fastest and most accurate AI voice dictation app that's 3x more accurate than ChatGPT, Claude, or Siri. Today, we’re finally launching on Android. Download now: play.google.com/store/apps/det… As a part of the launch, we’re giving away 6 months of Wispr Flow Pro for free. Like, retweet and comment ‘Wispr Flow’ to get it. Enjoy. — Written with Wispr Flow

We releasing an early version of Moonlake's world modeling agent. It is not just a tool for generating beautiful scenes. It is a system for creating worlds you can interact with. Objects respond. Physics runs determinstically. Your actions have real causal effects. We believe in building with the community, not in isolation. Over the past month, we have iterated closely with users, hosted hackathons, and worked side by side with hundreds of beginner game developers to understand their workflows, frustrations, and creative ambitions firsthand. Our intention is simple. Help developers solve real pain points. Expensive tooling. Repetitive tasks. Tedious work that slow down creativity. We believe humans are the true source of creativity. Tools should amplify that power, not replace it. Game developers, and more broadly creators, will always be at the center of our ecosystem. This is our first beta release. It is an early step, but we hope it gives you a clear sense of what we are building toward. A future where anyone can create rich, interactive worlds with intention and meaning.

Why we invested in a “boring” waste management software business: Nobody in Silicon Valley wants to romanticize garbage collection, meaning low competition and massive upside for the right team. This is a pen & paper industry that hasn’t changed in 50 years. And in one platform, Hauler Hero offer cloud-based route planning, automated billing, customer portals, and AI-powered route optimization. They have 120+ customers across 40 states since launching in Q1 2024. 200% revenue growth in the past year. That’s why we back the dumb, dull, dirty, and dangerous at @CTVentureCap. Legacy industries like waste management are overlooked, unglamorous, can't be offshored or fully automated. And thousands of fragmented operators are desperate for modern software that works.

First, we learned to click. Then, we learned to tap. For decades, we've been trapped speaking the language of the machine. Until today. I'm thrilled to announce Linq has raised a $20M Series A led by @TQVentures to build the future of human-computer interaction. To quote @naval, "UI is pre-AI." As AI frees us from menial work, our interactions with computers must become conversational. That’s why @jaredmattsson, @patsullyyy and I built @thelinqapp. On the surface, Linq is a messaging API that unifies iMessage, RCS/SMS, and voice. But underneath, we've taken a radically different approach. By uniquely combining hardware and software, we power high-fidelity experiences at 20% of the cost of legacy providers like Twilio. Here's why this matters:

In a world with abundant intelligence, AI agents will not just replace humans in existing workflows, but make new kinds of work possible; work that was previously too slow or expensive to perform at scale. In cyberdefense, automated digital forensics, i.e. deep security investigations, will become ubiquitous. Today we’re launching Asymmetric Security, the first full-stack AI Digital Forensics and Incident Response company. We're working with the worlds largest global cyber insurers, and our AI platform has already helped incident responders handle hundreds of cyber attacks. Building on this experience, we’re creating realistic training scenarios and evaluations to improve both our AI cyber-defense capabilities and those of frontier labs. Our mission is to accelerate AI cyberdefense to address the security challenges of the AGI era.
