Introducing @PoeticHQ: a new AI system that executes complex multi-hour tasks with 99% accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents. We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination. While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy. So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code. When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective. In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four. Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99% quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.

For every ton of @CompoundFoods produced, 16 tons of CO2e are saved. Using biotechnology, this company can recreate coffee without the bean while preserving all of our favorite flavors and aromas ☕️

“The hype around remote has not really changed the economic fundamentals,” says UC Berkeley economist Enrico Moretti. Fully remote work tripled during the first month of the pandemic, but still only represented 6% of total office jobs. wired.com/story/pandemic-rem…

There is no group worse at buying real estate than the tech community. Just add a Nest thermostat and stage it with midcentury furniture and you can scam any FAANG engineer out of millions.
