Conferences aren’t about stages. They’re about engineered collisions between the right people. We are building those collisions at scale. Stay tuned for the next gen of tech events.

Interesting.
Increasingly, I believe companies may need to be rebuilt from the ground up, where you have a single timeline of all observability product metrics file changes laid out in a retrievable system, like Datadog Posthog Google Drive Slack (really unified filesystem of Claude Code chats Codex chats). This might be the new data foundation for any and all companies to maximize AI. Needs to be rebuilt because keeping track of diffs on existing system basically impossible to produce longitudinal information on decisions and rollbacks, something coding agent storage companies are actively trying to figure out, but this should extend to businesses as a whole. Highly skeptical existing businesses will adopt this though because it means overhauling everything about their instrumentation and business data, but I think businesses built on this foundation probably can execute 100x better and faster

1/Last day of the price break for @RaiseSummit & @MACHINASUMMIT . So forget the price. Look at the program. Here's one day of AI in 2026, from the @Louvre. 2/The operators who each defined a chapter of this industry, on one stage: @PGelsinger . @paraga . @marceloclaure . @ScottWu46 (the team behind Devin). 3/Thread 1: the infrastructure nobody sees but everyone now depends on. Sovereign compute. Power. Cooling. The chips being built to replace the GPU. DDN, Vertiv, Arm, SambaNova, d-Matrix, NVIDIA and the people building Europe's own AI capacity. 4/Thread 2 agents leaving the lab for production. Decagon, Sierra, and the architecture of companies built around systems that act on their own. 5/Thread 3 : the builders. Cursor, Replit, Cognition. And the real question: what is a software team when the machine writes most of the code? 6/It closes with the AllInPodcast live from European soil for the first time. ElevenLabs. Black Forest Labs. 1X. Agility Robotics. Those last two point straight to Machina, the physical-AI event running alongside: robots, humanoids, industrial autonomy. 7/50 sessions. Three stages. The people actually doing the work not the ones who put AI on this year's conference calendar. Price break ends tonight. raisesummit.com/tickets

We were 12 months off. While most of us were scrolling humanoid backflip videos, the real story was happening somewhere less photogenic — procurement meetings and construction sites. Four signals from the last 30 days: → Schaeffler signed a binding deal for up to 2,000 humanoid robots across its global plants (supplied by UK startup Humanoid). → Japan Airlines started trialling @UnitreeRobotics humanoids at Haneda — baggage handling and cabin cleaning. → @Apptronik closed a $520M Series A extension. Total raised now past $935M. → Tesla broke ground on a dedicated Optimus factory at Giga Texas. 5.2M sq ft. Target: 27,000 units a day. First line online by August. Six months ago the industry called humanoid procurement a "2027 conversation." The buyers didn't wait. The robots work. The open question now isn't if, it's which foundation model ends up running them. Helix, SkildAI , π0, GR00T, or one of the vertically integrated stacks (Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik, 1X, AgiBot). That's why we built @MACHINASUMMIT . July 7, @joinstationf . One room: @BerntBornich (@1x ), Carolina Parada ( @GoogleDeepMind Robotics), @jeffcardn (@Apptronik ), Marc Raibert (@BostonDynamics / RAI Institute), Jonathan Hurst (@agilityrobotics ), Abhinav Gupta (@SkildAI ) - and 20 more. The people whose deployment decisions will define what factory floors look like for the next decade. Then July 8-9, Carrousel du Louvre, for @RaiseSummit . The procurement window just opened. Genuine question for the robotics people here: which model ends up running the floor - Helix, π0, GR00T, Skild, or a vertically integrated stack? Reply with your bet.

Not a pitch — a heads-up. In 48h, @RaiseSummit hits its last price break before Paris, July 8–9. 8,000 AI leaders. 1,500 companies. All-In live from European soil for the first time. LeCun, Cuban, Tenev. The busy people always register on July 7. Don't be that person. 48 hours raisesummit.com/tickets

The White House just confirmed a "breakthrough" on Trump’s Bitcoin strategic reserve. Patrick Witt won’t say more but called it "legally sound" and "properly safeguarded." The government that seized 200,000 Bitcoin from criminals is about to announce what happens next. Buckle up. @parisblockweek

Atlas just lifted a 100 pound fridge using whole body coordination, not just hands. Millions of hours of simulation training deployed in a day. The hands were never the hard part. The physics were. @machinasummit

AI agents just got socially engineered for K on Bankr. The attackers did not hack the smart contracts. They convinced the bots to send money by talking to them. We spent years securing blockchains from code exploits and forgot AI reads prompts like humans read emotions. The attack surface is now conversational. @parisblockweek

Boston Dynamics Atlas learned to lift 100 pound loads through millions of hours of GPU simulation. Not trial and error. Pure computational evolution. While everyone demos robots walking, Hyundai plans 30,000 units per year. The shift from lab curiosity to industrial workhorse happened in a simulation. @machinasummit

Google I/O 2026 just announced the death of the chatbot era. Gemini 3.5 Flash and autonomous agents that code entire operating systems overnight. While everyone debates AGI timelines, Google shipped the agentic future. The age of asking is over. The age of delegating has begun. @raisesummit

Figure robots worked 38 hours straight handling 47,000 packages with zero cloud connection. Every calculation ran onboard. The breakthrough was not endurance. It was proving humanoids can think and act without data center round trips. Industrial robotics just cut the cord. @machinasummit

Penn researchers just cracked the AI energy crisis. Hybrid light matter particles that switch at 4 quadrillionths of a joule. Every AI lab burns electricity to think. These scientists taught photons to compute directly. When light becomes logic, Moore's Law gets a photonic upgrade. @raisesummit

AI consumes 10% of US electricity and everyone is arguing about bigger models. Tufts just built neuro symbolic AI that cuts training energy by 100x while boosting accuracy from 34% to 95%. Sometimes the revolution comes from efficiency, not scale. When you solve the energy crisis while improving performance, that is not incremental. That is paradigmatic. @raisesummit

Unitree shipped the world's first production ready manned mecha. Not a demo. Not a prototype. Production ready. 500kg with pilot, switches between bipedal and quadrupedal modes, can topple brick walls. Orders flooded in immediately. While others test, Unitree ships. @machinasummit

Figure robots just worked 50 hours straight. Not 50 minutes. Fifty hours. Livestreamed to millions. The shift from viral demos to industrial marathon endurance happened this week. When humanoids outwork humans on stamina alone, the factory floor belongs to silicon. @machinasummit
71
AI just weaponized crypto hacking. M stolen by algorithms that scan smart contracts and generate exploits faster than humans can patch them. The B DeFi sector built on code transparency is now vulnerable to machines that read code better than we do. Security became an arms race, and only one side has infinite patience. @parisblockweek

NASA just built an AI chip 100x more powerful than current spacecraft computers. Fits in your palm, survives deep space radiation, enables autonomous Mars missions. While everyone debates AGI timelines, NASA shipped the silicon that thinks beyond Earth orbit. @raisesummit
108
Figure just ran humanoid robots for 8 straight hours in a warehouse. Not 8 minutes. Eight hours. Autonomous failover, self diagnosis, fleet coordination. The shift from viral demos to industrial endurance happened today. The factory floor belongs to machines now. @machinasummit

Today the Senate decides if crypto gets clarity or chaos. CLARITY Act vote affects 50 million Americans who bought Bitcoin hoping for rules, not riddles. After years of regulatory theater, we find out if Washington actually wants innovation or just control. @parisblockweek
