yes, eventually Fable was banned. but for a beautiful moment in time, we could one shot our whole backlog

Quite interesting thread on capabilities of real biological neurons (spoiler: they're way more capable than classical artificial neurons in a perceptron) . Nice work @IdoAizenbud and collaborators!

What can a neuron compute? Real biological neurons are complex, but how capable are they? Using a new method, we found that a single cortical neuron can classify cats vs dogs, recognize spoken words, and solve 10-bit parity, all tasks thought to require entire networks. (1/15)

Interesting. AI will in effect increase both supply and demand for formal methods. You need them more, but you also have tools that make them cheaper. blog.janestreet.com/formal-m…

Our customers want a system that thinks, researches, routes and follows up across their entire revenue motion. We've rebuilt Workflows for exactly that. Two things I'm most excited about. 1. Custom Agents that run any motion you can imagine, wired into your entire ecosystem. 2. Our agentic workflow builder. Describe what you want, Attio builds it. Hundreds of thousands of automations already run on Attio every day. This takes it to a completely different level and I couldn't be more proud of what the team has built. attio.ai/agent-workflows

Excited to say that @hubspot's 300,000 customers and @freshdesk's 150,000 customers can now use @fin_ai to power their Customer Service, giving their customer's instant accurate excellent answers. Links in the thread.

The most unique thing about Benchmark is the talent density of the partnership. Rather than hiring dozens of partners to make hundreds of investment, they focus on the few companies each year that matter.

Above the Tree Line 🏔️ That was the theme of our P9 Founder Summit this year. Over three days in the Bavarian Alps, we brought together 130 founders to step away from the day-to-day and spend time reflecting on what it means to build and lead companies as AI continues to reshape the way companies are built. We followed the journey from base camp to tree line to summit, but the most valuable moments weren’t on the agenda. They happened in conversations over coffee, on hikes, between sessions, and late into the evening. More than anything, we’re proud of the community we’ve built. Seeing founders—whether they’ve been part of P9 for years or are joining for the first time—share their knowledge so openly and talk candidly about the challenges they’re facing is what makes these gatherings worthwhile. A huge thank you to all the founders, speakers, partners, and the team behind the scenes who made it possible! See you above the tree line 🌲

A VC that has “early stage” encoded in its freaking *name* and that prides itself on the craft of seed investing, participating in a financing at a $380 billion valuation medium.com/point-nine-news/w…

a big week ahead for @airstreet: we’ll announce our largest lead investment to date, in a field that matters deeply to all of us then host the 10th @raais conference, bringing together exceptional ai researchers, founders and builders many you’ll know, many you soon will

I strive to make my writing unsummarizable, in the sense that it has so little fluff left in it that if you take any words out, as summaries by definition do, you lose a lot of interesting ideas.

Brevity is more than politeness to the reader. Compression is understanding.

Another huge milestone for @goclio. Thrilled to launch our NY office, now our U.S. headquarters, as we shape the future of legal AI. Come build with us: clio.com/about/careers/new-y…

Never say never ;-) But - 15 years is an eternity in tech land. And if there’s one fund that earned the right to raise a larger growth fund, it’s Benchmark. I bet it was oversubscribed in half an hour.

Two months ago, we announced Apex 1.0, the world's first proprietary CX model that beat all foundation models on resolution rate, latency, and cost for customer experience use cases. No other company, whether new startup, or incumbent has since released anything comparable. Today, we release a further brand new model called Apex Flash. A smaller model with high performance, but specifically designed to be even faster. There are instances where you're happy for a model to take its time, but in many cases, time will always be of the essence. That's where our new model comes in. And tomorrow, we're announcing our first major new product that runs on Apex Flash…

Most ultra successful people have a very low need for social approval, although society tends to label this incorrectly as a red flag. The average person is terrified of looking like a fool or bothering people. I’ve met CEOs that will send ten follow-up emails to a dream hire or pitch their idea to a stranger in an elevator without a second thought. This personality type means they can bypass the politeness instinct that slows down everyone else’s career. Hesitation to ask for help or feedback is a common bottleneck in most professions; someone who isn't slowed by the fear of being annoying can squeeze a year’s worth of progress into a week. There are very few things in life that shameless persistence won’t give you.

Huge congrats to @s2o , Paolo Negri, Karthik Rau and the entire @Contentful team on today’s acquisition announcement by @salesforce. 🎉 What an incredible journey and achievement. Congrats to everyone who helped build one of Europe’s standout software companies. 🚀

In order to truly appreciate how long ago Sascha Konietzke and Paolo Negri started the company, I'm sharing this pic from our very first SaaS Founder Meetup in SF in 2012 (which shows Paolo). The young, smiling guy in the front is an up-and-coming VC called @rodriscoll. 🤣
