Jason Schoettler on why engineering leaders need visibility into how code is evolving in real time — and why @askflux_ai is building a more direct path from engineering activity to business impact. More from @pulse2news on Flux’s latest funding round: pulse2.com/flux-raises-5-mil…

We’re thrilled to continue supporting @askflux_ai with a fresh $5 million in funding as they build the future of code-first engineering intelligence in the age of AI. As software development rapidly evolves, engineering leaders need better visibility into how code is changing across their organizations — from quality and security to technical debt and team dynamics. Flux is helping bring that clarity directly from the source of truth: the code itself. Congratulations to @eajulian and the Flux team! askflux.ai/press-releases/fl…

Calibrate portfolio company @trellis_law is bringing the largest state trial court dataset in the U.S. directly into Claude — making decades of rulings, motions, verdicts, and litigation intelligence more accessible inside modern AI workflows. “Litigators have been flying blind in trial courts for decades. The strategy, research, and intelligence that actually wins cases has never been available through any research tool. We built Trellis to fix that.” — @Nicole_A_Clark, CEO and Co-Founder of Trellis An important step toward making real-world legal data more usable, searchable, and actionable for attorneys and legal teams.

More highlights from the 2026 Calibrate retreat. A reminder that some of the most meaningful conversations happen in person — away from screens, timelines, and scheduled meetings. Great discussions, new ideas, and time well spent with founders and the broader Calibrate community.

Every country wants to control what it makes. The ones that will are the ones that solve the workforce problem first. Ariyan Kabir (@ariyankabir) joined John Furrier (@Furrier) on theCUBE at the NYSE Wired program to talk about why legacy automation never cracked 90% of manufacturing, and how GrayMatter Robotics is changing that with autonomous solutions that adapt on the fly, no pre-programming required. The robots that can program themselves are the ones that actually scale. cc: @theCUBE, @GemmaAllenSays, @bjbaumann2014 @NYSE #NYSEWired #PhysicalAI #Manufacturing #Robotics #Automation #AI #NYSE

World models are quickly moving from research concept to real conversation in robotics. Calibrate Investor @Katie_Calibrate breaks down why predictive world models may be a key unlock for physical AI — giving machines the ability to simulate, plan, and adapt before acting in the real world.

On the Machine Minds podcast, @GrayMatterRobot Co-Founder & CEO @ariyankabir joins @Toroosian to discuss why manufacturing remains one of the biggest untapped opportunities for AI, and why solving real-world variability is much harder than most people think. The conversation spans everything from “factory superintelligence” and multimodal robotics to the operational realities of deploying AI on factory floors today. A great listen for anyone building at the intersection of AI, robotics, and industrial systems: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Exciting to see @CobotCorp Founder & CEO @BradPorter_ featured in @Deloitte's CEO Perspectives section of @WSJ. In the piece, Brad explains why the next major wave of AI may not happen on screens alone — but in the warehouses, factories, and logistics systems that quietly power the physical world. “Once you see how automation changes things, it becomes very addictive to the organization.” A thoughtful look at why companies experimenting with physical AI today could build lasting operational advantages over time: deloitte.wsj.com/ceo/the-mom…

Thank you to @GrayMatterRobot for hosting the Calibrate Ventures 2026 Annual Meeting at their headquarters. Our time together and tour allowed us to share with our entire team and limited partners why we’re so excited about the future of factory intelligence that you’re deploying and the transformation you’re driving with physical AI.

The next frontier in clinical AI isn’t more data. It’s making existing data usable. @RegardApp is focused on exactly that — helping clinicians unlock insight from the full patient record. A few takeaways from their recent Health Evolution Summit session: regard.com/article/the-next-… @elibenjoseph

This week, GrayMatter Robotics hosted Calibrate Ventures' annual meeting at our innovation center, where Ariyan Kabir (@ariyankabir) showcased what #FactorySuperIntelligence looks like in practice. We're proud to represent Calibrate's portfolio of companies putting deep tech to work in the real world. #PhysicalAI #Robotics #Manufacturing #AI #FactorySuperIntelligence @CalibrateVC

What actually separates senior engineers from everyone else? It’s not just experience, it’s how they navigate ambiguity. In this piece, Aaron Beals of @askflux_ai breaks down the “signals” experienced engineers look for when dropped into a new codebase — and why most people waste time trying to read everything instead. The shift is subtle, but important: from consuming information to finding what matters. askflux.ai/blog/the-signals-…

Teams across the Calibrate portfolio are hiring. From clinical AI → autonomous aircraft → legal intelligence, these companies are building in complex, real-world environments — and growing their teams to match. @RegardApp: regard.com/careers/ Grid Aero: grid.aero/careers @trellis_law: linkedin.com/posts/image-2-s…

The next wave of solar isn’t just about energy. It’s about how it gets built. @BuiltRobotics is bringing AI into one of the most labor-intensive parts of construction: pile driving. Their autonomous piling solution helps solar projects move faster, improves jobsite safety, and lowers overall costs — all while addressing ongoing skilled labor shortages. A clear example of physical AI moving from concept → deployment. youtube.com/watch?v=CiIRiT7U…

Where is incident response actually heading — beyond the hype? @VibraniumLabsAI is hosting a live conversation with Todd Vernon (Founder of @VictorOps, acquired by @Splunk), alongside CEO Sang Lee and COO Tanny Kang, on how incident management is evolving — where AI is helping teams move faster, and where it may introduce new complexity or risk. A great conversation bringing together a Calibrate portfolio company and a founder we’ve backed before. 📆Tuesday, May 19 🔗Register here: luma.com/5u4wv5v9

Food safety is no longer just a compliance issue — it’s becoming a technology opportunity. Calibrate portfolio company @OxipitalAI explores how AI-powered visual inspection is helping manufacturers detect defects earlier, reduce recall risk, and improve consistency at scale. As production demands rise, smarter quality control is becoming essential. oxipitalai.com/food-safety-i…

Years-old datasets may be more valuable than they look. In a new piece from Calibrate portfolio company @manifold_ai, the company’s VP of Solution Engineering Gervaise Henry explores how advances in AI are helping researchers extract new insights from legacy data — turning information collected under past constraints into new opportunities for discovery today. From genomics to imaging, the story is the same: the data didn’t lose value. The tools finally caught up. Read more at manifold.ai/resources/your-o…

Demand for physical goods is rising, while the skilled manufacturing workforce continues to shrink, says @GrayMatterRobot's @ariyankabir. On @FOXBusiness, Ariyan discusses how GrayMatter is bringing AI into shipbuilding — a sector critical to American industry and national security. foxbusiness.com/video/639329…

.@elibenjoseph, CEO and Co-founder of @RegardApp, was named to @CrainsNewYork's 2026 Notable Leaders in Health Care👏 The recognition reflects a broader shift: healthcare doesn’t need more data — it needs better ways to use it.
