Today Reactor is coming out of stealth. We’ve raised $59M in Seed and Series A funding, led by @lightspeedvp, with participation from @AmplifyPartners, @wndrco, @Sky9Capital, and @FPVventures.
Reactor is the platform for building in the World Model era: the infrastructure that lets developers build with them at global scale for the first time. Stream from a frontier World Model to your app, in real time, all in under 10 lines of code.
World Models represent the next major shift in AI: pixels, audio and actions are generated on the fly, in real-time, in response to user inputs, and to the environment. Every time computing has made a shift from passive to interactive, entire industries appeared that didn't exist before. We're standing in front of such moment again.
Over the last 6 months, we’ve assembled an all-star team with alumni from Apple, Meta, Google, Luma AI, Netflix, and Replicate. We're already partnering with some of the biggest names and labs in the world, and hundreds of developers are already building on Reactor.
The World Model era starts now.

We're taking our first step towards democratizing World Models, so that everyone can build on this incredible technology.
We have more to share, but enjoy a glimpse of what's to come, today.

Document ingestion & Gemini 2.0 caused a lot of buzz this week. As builders in this space, here's our take:
Data ingestion is a multistep pipeline, and maintaining confidence from LLM nondeterministic outputs over millions of pages is a problem. (1/7)

excited to share my new project:
instead of reading my bio, take the red pill, and just talk to an AI 3D version of me on my website albertotaiuti.com
very proud of the 2d website to 3d scene transition

I have come to Israel with a simple message:
You are not alone.
As long as the United States stands – and we will stand forever – you will not be alone.

Today we are announcing a major breakthrough in the Vesuvius Challenge: we have read the first word from an unopened Herculaneum scroll.
The word is "πορφυρας" which means "purple dye" or "cloths of purple."
scrollprize.org/firstletters
Congratulations to 21yo computer science student @LukeFarritor who is the first person to see this handwriting in nearly 2000 years. He has won the $40,000 First Letters prize for this world-historical achievement.
We are also awarding a $10,000 First Ink prize to @CJHandmer who was the first person to see ink and multiple letters within an unopened scroll. His work was the basis of Luke's ML model.
And @Youssef_M_Nader has won a $10,000 second-place First Letters prize for producing the clearest and most comprehensive images from inside a scroll yet.
This has been the dream of many people since the scrolls were first discovered in the 1750s. It is also the result of 20 years of work from Dr. Brent Seales and his team at EduceLab, whose years of dedicated work have made this last mile possible.
The $700,000 Vesuvius Challenge Grand Prize is now in sight. Who will claim it?
