1/It’s always bothered me how painful it is to prep for a fundraise. @emergencecap startups raised $2B+ in last few years and we reinvented the wheel each time: investor list, pitch deck, model. No mas! Proud to share our playbook of fundraising templates! bit.ly/emergenceplayb…

After almost 12 years in Brain/DeepMind, I’ve finally decided to take the leap. My cofounders: @yinfeiy, Seth and I have kicked-off @ElorianAI. The first multimodal reasoning lab founded and led by former LLM pretraining, data and multimodal leads. youtu.be/YlvfNpOMeOY?si… (1/n)

@melvynx Arcee Trinity Large Thinking…96% cheaper than Opus 4.6 and almost scored as high on Kilo’s eval for tool calling.

Search the Opus 4.6 replacement for my OpenClaw: day 1 I tried Kimi 2.5 today. It's not good. It has issues with tool calls. It outputs Chinese characters. It's bad... really bad. What's next?

@ClementDelangue @NaveenGRao Compute demand growing exponentially and supply is coming online linearly. The future for consumers is hybrid of on-device and open source like @arcee_ai

I think it’s @NaveenGRao who said it before but wouldn’t be surprised if the frontier labs cut their APIs entirely at some point. In a compute constrained world, they’ll always prioritize their own direct products/customers. Makes it scary and unsustainable to only build on top of their APIs!

@garrytan Garry, the team at @arcee_ai can get you set up with their API for Trinity Reasoning Large. Benchmarked second highest for OpenClaw and is 96% cheaper than Opus 4.6. Lmk if you want to try it! @latkins

Anthropic shutting down OpenClaw may turn out to be a strategic blunder, or strategic genius. The OpenClaw community will be the determiner of whether it is A or B. It's an interesting moment in history. Personally I never bet against open source.

@bcherny Perfect time to support US open source models like Arcee Trinity Large Reasoning. 96% cheaper than Opus 4.6 and excels at OpenClaw

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

@arcee_ai @kilocode @openclaw @pinchbench Let’s gooo 💪

Jensen showcased PinchBench (by @kilocode) on stage at NVIDIA GTC as the new standard for evaluating @openclaw agent capability. Trinity-Large-Thinking just hit #2 on @pinchbench globally (91.9%) behind only Claude Opus 4.6 (93.3%), which costs ~20x more per token. That's an expensive percentage point... To celebrate the ongoing Trinity partnership, @OpenRouter is running a promotion to make Trinity-Large-Thinking free to use for OpenClaw until Sunday, April 5th. Even when the promo ends, the Trinity economics are pretty incredible. Trinity is $0.25/m input tokens (OpenClaw uses A LOT of input tokens), but with a 60%-90% cache hit rate at $0.06/m cache tokens the average input cost nets out to $0.087/m. You no longer have to compromise on logic to keep your agent infrastructure affordable. We're excited to see what you build.

@arcee_ai Congrats squad! Thrilled this is out in the world!

Today we're releasing Trinity-Large-Thinking. Available now on the Arcee API, with open weights on Hugging Face under Apache 2.0. We built it for developers and enterprises that want models they can inspect, post-train, host, distill, and own.

@morganlinton And Arcee’s reasoning model drops next week 👀

Everyone is talking about Kimi and Qwen, but I'm honestly surprised more people aren't talking about models like Trinity from Arcee. I've been doing a deeper dive here and it's pretty interesting, here's a few differences that I'm not sure ppl fully realize. - Qwen and Kimi both have Apache licenses with restrictions in them. I'm honestly shocked most people don't know this. Once you hit over 100M monthly users, things change. - Arcee's models like Trinity use Apache 2.0 with NO restrictions, none, get over 100M monthly users, you're still in a good place. - The training data for Qwen and Kimi is undisclosed, for Arcee it's both disclosed and legally vetted. - One genuinely unique thing Arcee does: they released Trinity-Large-TrueBase, a raw 10-trillion-token checkpoint that hasn't undergone learning rate anneals or instruction tuning, letting researchers in regulated industries start from scratch for authentic audits and custom alignment. As I've been tinkering around with more small(ish) local LLMs, I've been doing a deeper dive, and honestly, I think I'm going to be doing more with Arcee vs. Kimi or Qwen because I can't help but think about scale. If I build something, I'd love to think that some day hundreds of millions, or billions of people, might use it, and I don't want to suddenly be dealing with license restrictions in this case and need to rearchitect. That being said, still pretty new to the Arcee models so I'll have to see how they perform. More to come, as always, I have a lot more to learn, and will share what I learn on here.

@latkins @YouJiacheng 😂

@YouJiacheng on open source.

this is classified as an attack?

So proud of @latkins and @arcee_ai team for this amazing accomplishment. We are the underdog story, punching above our weight and building open-weight for the people! Made in America!

Today vibe coding goes pro. Introducing Bolt v2: → World's best agents (Claude Code, Codex) → Built in backend (hosting, DB, storage, ...) → No error loops, no setup nightmares Now anyone can build without boundaries.

Incredible entrepreneurial story of perseverance, pivoting, catching lightning in a bottle and then executing like a team possessed! We are thrilled to partner with Eric and team as Bolt takes the world by storm!

Congrats to the Bolt squad! Emergence is thrilled to partner with you all!

Well, at least the Chargers gave us all a big morale boost…

@skydelvy @LosAngeles_Scan Sorry Sky…this is a video from 3 hours ago of the PCH below Las Flores. I can’t say for certain, but the OP mentions the houses on the hillside burned

@LosAngeles_Scan my family lives in Las Flores cyn. Right near Fire camp 8…. I hear the whole mountain burned… Has anyone heard anything? No one has heard from my uncle up there.

15-20 minutes from the fire impacting Las Flores Cyn.

@ericsimons40 Congrats Eric and team! 🚀🚀🚀

Woah, we've crossed over 2 million registered users on bolt․new 🤯 All thanks to our team & community for making Bolt the fastest growing, #1 web dev AI agent - mind boggling how fast (and smoothly!) y'all have scaled this the past 2.5 months!! 2025 let's go!! 🚀🚀🚀

Highlight is my new favorite productivity booster! Pumped to join the squad and so excited for their new product releases.
