We backed @StainlessAPI because @RattrayAlex believed SDKs deserved the same craft as the APIs they wrap. Anthropic believed it too. They've powered every official Claude SDK since day one. Congrats to the Stainless team on joining @AnthropicAI!

Anthropic is acquiring @stainlessapi, an SDK and MCP server platform that has powered every Anthropic SDK since the earliest days of our API. Read more: anthropic.com/news/anthropic…

The @Felicis Forecast: the nine themes that we think will define what’s coming next. They don’t fit neatly into categories, but start to pop up everywhere once you notice them. x.com/felicis/status…
Felicis@felicis

1/ Today we launch the @Felicis Forecast. It's our map of the changes that defy neat categorization but matter most to what’s next. Where AI’s potential cuts across industries to collide with consumer, organizational, and socio-economic fault lines. Where the old structures have ruptured, and new ones are just coming into view. Because even to people like us – generalists who’ve spent the past 20 years studying change – this moment feels different. Everything’s up for grabs. Rules, tidy bell curves, and comfortable patterns no longer apply. So instead of following patterns, we forecast: 9 themes we just can’t get out of our heads, that seem to pop up everywhere once you notice them. ordnl.link/Vyjrzep

We’re launching @JudgmentLabs today and announcing $32M in funding. As AI agents take on more of the work that creates economic value, they generate massive amounts of production data: the clearest record of how they behave with users, software, and the real world. Judgment builds infrastructure for improving AI agents from production data.

@felicis @tecoker any chance we could see the breakdown of the data by stage of company? e.g., curious if willingness to build results differs based on maturity

AI is the first software wave to reach mass deployment before its infrastructure was built. We surveyed 23 engineering leaders running AI in production. Three findings will shape how we invest in infra for the next 12 months — all consequences of the same pattern: the workloads got here before the stack. Read more: felicis.com/blog/the-ai-st…

i just started the fastest company to $ 5M ARR. sold a pair of airpods to my friend for 100 dollars, transaction took ~10 minutes from procurement to close, meaning i've hit approximately a $5,256,000 annualized run rate. taking only tier 1 investors in my dms

AI shipped to prod before its infra was built — first software wave that's done that. We surveyed 23 eng leaders. 70% doubled inference spend in 6 months. Half ship agents as core product. Most monitor it on home-built Grafana. Building primitives? Reach out. felicis.com/blog/the-ai-st…

Had a great chat with Harry Kim from @nvidia , @philipkiely from @baseten , and Arya Asemanfar from @SierraPlatform, for a salon dinner on long-running agents and inference. We were joined by 20+ technical leaders from @Replit , @nvidia , @hippocraticai , @PrimeIntellect , @anyscalecompute , @togethercompute, @thinkymachines, @netflix , @tryramp , @MemGPT and more. Consistent themes that emerged through several conversations: - Nobody owns the agent harness yet. App teams are building it by default, inference platforms want to absorb it from below. Sentiment pointed to the application layer as its home — though some platforms are getting close. - Evals are the precondition for everything else — model right-sizing, routing decisions, fine-tuning confidence. Nothing off the shelf is specific or good enough to work generally. Everyone is handling it in-house. - The next wave for inference is real-time: video, audio, multimodal. Beyond that, inference-time compute and observability are the areas people are focused on. - VR as a longer-term area of interest, when the technology can serve the capabilities consumers actually need. Super energizing to chop it up with some of the best in the business! cc @felicis

Inference is served. Thank you @tecoker @felicis for inviting me out to join for dinner and a panel on the future of inference.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later. nbcnews.com/health/cancer/…

We hosted Prof. Alyosha Efros (UC Berkeley) at @SkildAI! He didn't believe that robots could actually cook eggs reliably. :) Tested back-to-back 5times without fail! One batch of scrambled eggs every ~2.5mins nonstop. The same model assembles a GPU on a server rack too.

Grateful to be working with @schwarzjn_ and his team at Thomson Reuters to help leverage their proprietary data to mid-train the world's best legal models! Mid-training on domain specific data can massively improve specialized performance without sacrificing general capabilities. And because the mid-trained model understands the domain better, post-training becomes far more effective. Check out our case study linked below to learn more. And if you want to leverage your own proprietary data to build strong, domain specific models where accuracy and reliability are key, please reach out to us @datologyai!
DatologyAI@datologyai

We’re excited to announce our partnership with Thomson Reuters, a collaboration focused on unlocking the full potential of proprietary data to build the next generation of domain-specific AI. By applying DatologyAI’s data curation pipeline for legal domain adaptation mid-training, the results were clear: - +5% improvement on legal benchmarks and +2.5% on general-purpose evaluations after mid-training - >2.5x amplification in post-training gains on Thomson Reuters’ private legal evals - Achieved with <1% of the original pre-training token budget These gains demonstrate that better data doesn’t just improve models, but multiplies the effectiveness of everything built on top of them. As @schwarzjn_ , Head of AI Research at Thomson Reuters, put it: “DatologyAI delivered clear, measurable improvements across both public and our proprietary legal evaluations…demonstrating the strength and generalizability of their approach.” This partnership shows what’s possible when proprietary data and advanced data curation come together — not just incremental gains, but compounding advantages across the entire model lifecycle. We’re excited to continue building with Thomson Reuters to push the boundaries of domain AI. #AI #MachineLearning #LegalTech #DataCuration #Partnerships

@tecoker @felicis Talk to teams who switched GPU providers mid-project. The switching cost tells you more about real infra spend than any pricing sheet

spent the last few weeks in the weeds asking AI engineers & CTOs on how they're actually building in 2026 – inference spend, GPU infra, model strategy, async workloads for @felicis' first AI dev survey. some of the results are... not what we expected 👀 who should we be talking to?
