Purple Arch Ventures

Nine months ago we ushered in AI Payments to the mainstream, with our announcement of @PaymanAI. Today we’re excited to launch the strongest financial infrastructure ever for AI Agents. paymanai.com Existing financial API providers have been built for the SaaS world, not the AI Agent world. We’ve built Payman exclusively for AI Agent developers. AI Agents require a different type of financial control, regulation, and ease of integration that developers aren’t getting today. We’ve thought of all the ins and outs so you don’t have to. Built by AI developers for AI developers, we've thought of everything your AI needs to handle payments safely. We’ve raised $13 million from incredible investors like @Visa, @cbventures , @circle, @freestylevc usher in a new wave of money movement for AI Agents. Get started today!

In this video, we visit UT Austin's UZrH nuclear reactor and put it to the test: we actually TRY to make it melt down. Then we explore the history of UZrH, the challenges of using it in a power-generating reactor, and the upside if these challenges are overcome. cc @AaloAtomics @yasir_fission @pronounced_kyle
