Many fear that ASI diminishes the role of human agency.
If ASI can solve everything, what's worth building?
No one says it that clearly, but this fear exists.
We don't buy it.
Today's founders have an outsized role to play in shaping the transition to superintelligence.

Good luck!! One of our 3 R’s of radical longevity: reprogramming, regeneration and replacement (youtu.be/-DBOq8zNm3s?si=TWaf…)

After 25 years of brave & brilliant work by hundreds of scientists in my lab to understand then safely reverse aging for the first time, it was moving to witness the first human dose being delivered 🥹 nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

That's why we went into the lab and into the field with leading scientists and companies in longevity.
Watch the NFX Original:

For a century, medicine treated the diseases of aging one at a time.
This is a landmark trial that goes after the cause instead, using partial cellular reprogramming to "reset" the biological age of a cell itself.
In this case, to rejuvenate damaged cells in the eye.
A few years ago, this was fringe outside the longevity field. Now there's a patient.

I’m super excited to share that we have signed a contract with @SpaceX @Starlink to integrate its mini laser terminals onto our satellites for high bandwidth, low latency connectivity!
May 26
Starcloud is excited to announce that we will integrate 50 @SpaceX @Starlink Mini Laser terminals across 25 satellites. Each of the @Starcloud_ satellites will carry two Starlink Mini Laser terminals, and the first hardware is expected on orbit within one year.
Starlink Mini Laser terminals, the same laser crosslink technology that SpaceX developed for its Starlink constellation, provide up to 25 Gbps of continuous intersatellite connectivity at distances up to 4,000 km and are capable of higher link speeds at shorter distances. The terminals enable direct optical links between Starcloud satellites and the Starlink constellation using laser light, eliminating the need for Starcloud to send data directly through bandwidth-constrained ground stations.

Technology you interact with so naturally, it's almost invisible.
We call it the screenless startup:
May 7
people are really starting to use voice to interact with AI, especially when they have a lot of context to dump.
GPT-Realtime-2 comes to the API today; it is a pretty big step forward.
(we are working on improvements to voice in chat.)

The philosophy of what makes a great product is shifting:

OpenAI just made intelligent, real-time audio models available in their API.
The infrastructure is ready. The question now: what do you build?
We see 4 on-ramps for voice AI: nfx.com/post/voice-ai-is-wor…
@AnnaPinol_ and @VentureValerie break down each in detail:
Introducing GPT-Realtime-2 in the API: our most intelligent voice model yet, bringing GPT-5-class reasoning to voice agents.
Voice agents are now real-time collaborators that can listen, reason, and solve complex problems as conversations unfold.
Now available in the API alongside streaming models GPT-Realtime-Translate and GPT-Realtime-Whisper — a new set of audio capabilities for the next generation of voice interfaces.

Without better measurement infrastructure, AI can't deliver on its enormous promise in biology.
This is the bigger picture: nfx.com/post/ai-and-bio-futu…
AI can only solve biology as fast as we can measure it.
That's the constraint. Pumpkinseed just raised $20M to remove it.
Their technology closes the gap between real-world biological samples and the digital input AI models need to improve health at scale.
We are thrilled to back @jendionne and her team during this critical moment for bio. Congratulations!

Pumpkinseed is Unlocking Biology’s Most Valuable Hidden Data Layer.
Pumpkinseed, the biology mining company, led by Dr. Jennifer Dionne, Dr. Jack Hu, and Nhat Vu, has announced a $20 million Series A funding round to scale its protein sequencing platform, mining biological functional data at a resolution and scale that simply hasn't existed before. The Series A round was co-led by NfX @NFX and Future Ventures @VenturesVc, with participation from Base4, ADVentures, and Stanford, among others.

CopilotKit created AG-UI, an open standard for how AI agents communicate with software.
Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle adopted it. More than half the Fortune 500 use their tools.
We're proud to have backed them from the beginning.
May 5
We've raised $27M to build @CopilotKit — the Agentic Frontend Stack connecting humans & agents.
Because all UI will be AI.
Co-led by Glilot Capital, NfX and SignalFire.
