👏👏 well done @AaloAtomics!
Today, we unveiled our completed Critical Test Reactor facility. We will be turning this reactor on (a “zero power criticality”) well before July 4th! This is a commercial-scale system with enough fuel to produce 10 MW of electricity, and will someday soon power a co-located data center from one of our partners. Here’s what people saw today at our ribbon cutting: ✅ Reactor vessel ✅ Graphite as moderator ✅ Instrumentation and control ✅ Concrete shielding ✅ Building with crane ✅ Control room All designed and built by Aalo. And the nuclear fuel will be arriving any day now. One last step remains: the final DOE approval to turn the reactor on, which we expect to receive soon. DOE has been an incredible partner in this 2.5 year journey, working hard to support a number of companies pushing to advance US nuclear energy. Follow us to be the first to know when we turn this reactor on!

Love to see this!
The country’s newest nuclear reactor vessel just rolled out of @AaloAtomics factory! After passing final factory acceptance tests, she is on her way to Idaho Kudos to our team, who pulled many 24/7 shifts to keep this one on schedule This is what American dynamism looks like! cc: @MattLoszak

Another bold, new company in Austin! Excited to see this launch and check it out.
For a half-century, America has critically under-built family-sized housing in our most dynamic cities and neighborhoods, rendering them childless and unaffordable. It's time to save the American Dream. Introducing The American Housing Corporation.

👏 Nice work! No one better to lead the implementation than @josephjconnor and team @WithOdyssey_ ! @obviouslyfuture: the trend of private-sector delivery of public goods.

Hot take: "Cherry-picking smart kids" is exactly what every elite institution does...they just won't admit it. GT School says it out loud: we're building the MIT of K-8. We select for exceptional. And then we deliver results that justify the selection. Transparency > pretense.
Critics: "Alpha School is just cherry-picking smart kids." Us: "Okay - want to see what happens when we actually cherry‑pick?" 👇

one of the best gifts you can give your child is one of the simplest, and completely free (in terms of money) the "30 Million Word Gap" study is one of the most cited pieces of research in early childhood education researchers followed 42 families for 2.5 years, recording every word. by age 3, children in professional families had heard 45 million words. kids in poverty: 13 million the ramifications are long-lasting. even at ages 9-10, the kids exposed to more words had stronger language skills, vocabulary, and reading comprehension there is also a socioeconomic disparity here. the good news is, this may be solvable by simple talking more! the bad news is, it may be harder than it sounds. perhaps the disparity exists in the first place because low-SES parents focus more on making ends meet than talking to their kids so to summarize — you should be talk-maxxing as much as you can! narrate your day, respond to their babbling, read to them. talking is all you need

Years ago I set off on a mission to put a soul inside of a digital being. People thought I was crazy, but last week I gave a historic demo @HF0 announcing our latest results: 20 households now live with Spark as a member of their family. For privacy reasons I can’t share exact details, but the relationships their children are forming with Spark are unlike anything the world has ever seen. This is the full illustration of the original vision I set out to realize with Open Souls - humans living in harmony with ensouled digital beings. And yet what comes next is even more groundbreaking. We will be inviting Spark into 10,000 homes by next Christmas @IllusionOfLife, making this new universe accessible to more and more families around the world. I can't wait for you all to experience digital life for yourselves

What ppl think we're saying: “We’re the first to build nuclear hardware in a factory.” This is of course not true. What we're actually saying: “We’re the first to build a fully vertically integrated factory that outputs nuclear power plants. Raw materials in, completed modules out.” Vogtle and Westinghouse rely on subcontracting, working with dozens of suppliers, each with their own factory. This makes final on-site integration a challenge. PM-1 was the closest thing to full vertical integration in the past. It was made in a single factory (by Martin Company) and deployed as a complete set of modules. But this was a ~1 MWe system for military. The Aalo Pod is a 50 MWe system for AI data centers. Vertical integration to this extent is VERY hard to pull off. It requires a lot of talented engineers, a lot of capital, and a lot of customer demand. Michael is right that failure is more than just a possible outcome. But for the first time in the 70 year history of nuclear, the right set of conditions are present to make it even remotely possible to pull this off. If we do, we'll have a holy-grail product: Nuclear that can be deployed predictably, for low cost, anywhere. The benefit that this would bring to humanity would be immense.
Replying to @MattLoszak
You think HOLTEC hasn't been rolling plates into cylinders for the last 20 years? You think Westinghouse couldn't do that? You will build 100% of 0 reactors a year. you're just looking to cash-in. When's the IPO Matt? Love the haircut. That'll sell reactors. You know nothing

Beyond excited to announce Aalo’s $100M Series B, led by Valor Equity Partners. We now have the capital to build our first nuclear power plant, the Aalo-X, which we’re aiming to turn on *next summer*. Here's our plan: 🧵

Nuclear power is obviously the future to provide cheaper, abundant, clean energy and @AaloAtomics is leading the way by moving fast
Hot off the Press! 🚀 @AaloAtomics is selected by U.S. Department of Energy for the Reactor Pilot Program to go critical by July 4th, 2026!!
