One theme that keeps coming up: despite all the progress in AI, much of the world’s knowledge still isn’t captured in training data. Thanks to our friends, former colleagues and investors at @McKinsey and Marvin VC for hosting a discussion on “How AI Systems Learn from the Real World.”

Excited to see VOYGR featured by Overture Maps Foundation alongside a great group of AI startups operating with real-world data overturemaps.org/blog/2026/h…

SF billboards had a monopoly on AI for too long. Last week VOYGR was on display in Times Square

Excited to partner with @VoygrTech! Maps tag places. Voygr understands them. Their API validates whether a business exists and is still open, with 99.62% precision. Multi-source verification catches relocations, rebrands, and closures. Real-time ground truth for agents that interact with the physical world. Now on Orthogonal.

At Yc demo day - any surface is a pitch surface for @vladibasco

We have launched on HackerNews today news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

LLMs ace bar exams, but even the best gets 1 in 12 local queries wrong. We tested 4 leading LLMs (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Perplexity) on 345 real-world local search prompts (finding restaurants, checking hours, planning routes, booking tables), each run with and without web search (2,415 evaluations). Every recommended place was verified against Google Search and Maps. OpenAI leads (90.7/100), followed by Gemini (86.4), Claude (85.9), and Perplexity (80.4). No single provider wins everything; rankings shift by task type, and even OpenAI, the best performer, recommends a place that doesn't exist, has permanently closed, or is in the wrong neighborhood 8% of the time. BTW, we solve this problem at VOYGR - view full report here: voygr-tech.github.io/llm-loc…

A few weeks days at Geo Week 2026 in Denver Great conversations about a problem we hear everywhere: location data goes stale fast and nobody trusts it. Made solid connections, came back with a sharper roadmap. Heads down building
