Today I'm excited to announce that we are launching @hyperparamapp, an AI-powered Swiss Army knife for massive LLM datasets. It lets you view, score, filter, label, and transform LLM data directly in the browser. I started Hyperparam one year ago because I knew that the world of data was changing, and existing tools like Python and Jupyter Notebooks were not built for the scale of LLM data. The weights of LLMs may be tensors, but the input and output of LLMs are massive piles of text. The training set of LLMs is a large corpus of text from various sources, meticulously cleaned and preprocessed. The output of LLMs is also text, and it’s being produced in even greater quantities than the training data. No human has the patience to sift through all that text, so we need better tools to help us understand and analyze it. That's why I built Hyperparam to be the first tool specifically designed for working with LLM data at scale. To accomplish this required rethinking how data analysis tools work. I started Hyperparam as a side project and wanted to see if I could build it entirely in the browser. No Python, no servers, just pure interactive web experience. I'm pretty excited about how it turned out. Hyperparam is fast, powerful, and easy to use. It can handle datasets with millions of rows of text and provides a rich set of tools for exploring and analyzing that data using LLMs agents for assistance. Every company is now producing volumes of LLM data. Chat logs, agent traces, coding agent logs, and more. Hyperparam is designed to help you make sense of all that data. If you're working with LLM data (and let's be honest... every company is producing LLM data now), I encourage you to give Hyperparam a try. It’s free while in beta. 🚀

Great insights from this conversation. Bhrighu’s journey from @Microsoft to @Highspot is a great example of how scaling, leadership, and AI innovation come together in a high-growth environment. Thx again Bhrighu - super fun!
Madrona@MadronaVentures

A question many founders and startup leaders will inevitably face: Will your company keep innovating through tough times? In 2022 and 2023, as the economy shifted, many companies hit pause on innovation, cutting costs and waiting for the storm to pass. But some — like Highspot — took a different path. They doubled down on product innovation, betting on long-term growth even when the market made it tough. @Highspot President of Product & Engineering Bhrighu Sareen shares why the company chose not to follow the path of those that faltered during the Dot-com bust or financial crisis. Instead of simply riding it out, they made a deliberate choice to push forward. "We decided to just say, ‘No, we're going to make this transition,’ and now we're seeing the fruits of that investment decision paying off," he says.

thanks for the great conversation Bhrighu! terrific insights on how you are scaling @highspot product and engineering, as well as life after @Microsoft
Madrona@MadronaVentures

Madrona's @tmporter had a great conversation with @Highspot President of Product & Engineering Bhrighu Sareen about his journey from Microsoft to the startup, scaling AI-driven product teams, and navigating the challenges of startup leadership. Some key takeaways for founders and product leaders: 1) Transitioning from Big Tech to startup leadership requires agility. It’s all about speed, decision-making, and resourcefulness. 2) Working with founders is a partnership, not a power struggle. Bhrighu shared great insights on aligning with founders when stepping into a leadership role. 3) Economic slowdowns force trade-offs, but the best startups double down on product innovation 4) Scaling globally requires a smart approach to hiring and operations. Big thanks to Bhrighu for joining us in-studio. If you’re a product leader or thinking about jumping into a startup, this episode is packed with practical insights.

@wsdot_traffic @wsdot @SeattlePD stuck at traffic light trying to turn right off westbound 520 onto Northbound Montlake. Light seemed to have stopped working. Hasn’t turned green in over 12 minutes. Bridge is not up. Needs someone to direct traffic or fix the light
