introducing FrontierSWE: a new coding benchmark that tests AI models in ultra long-horizon tasks! we gave agents 20 hours to solve hard problems in performance eng, novel implementations and ML research, yet these tasks remain largely unsaturated

@karpathy's LLM Wiki and @garrytan's GBrain are beautiful knowledge bases. But memory is something else. Memory encodes why something matters, to whom, and how that changes over time. So, we made the filesystem the brain using 40-year-old POSIX symlinks to turn the filesystem itself into the knowledge graph. No databases needed. Native access control. Runs natively on @awscloud S3 Files. Bonus: Structure over scale, so a 70B open-source model beats frontier models with simple retrieval.

We've raised $5M to build organizational memory. Every company runs on decisions, but as teams grow the, context behind them gets lost. We built Sentra to make sure that never happens again. Start using Sentra for free today!

Today, I’m excited to announce that @sentra_app has raised a $5M Seed. This round is led by a16z @speedrun and @scaletogether, with participation from @parable_vc, @ekaurghar, @PrecursorVC, @inovia, @BackwardsCapVC, and @AntigravitySF. We also have some of the best founders and operators backing us - @gokulr, @blader, Prasad Chintamaneni, @cailen, @KaitlynKnopp and more. @ashwingop @AndreyStarenky @alrey_ and I are tackling the unavoidable problem every growing company struggles with: context decay. When you're 3 founders, everyone knows everything. But scale to 50 or 100 people over a few months, and it gets hard to even know everyone's names, let alone stay in sync. People stop knowing why decisions were made. Or worse, people stop knowing what was decided at all. Context all too often stays in people's heads, never written down. At large companies, it gets very expensive. One leader told us their engineering team wasted a month building support for a feature that another team had already deprecated–nobody told them. Today, we try to prevent it with more documentation, more meetings, or more tools. But none of those really work. You drown in bureaucracy while tracking everything about what happened and nothing about why. Sentra does something that wasn't possible until now: it builds a living memory of your company as work happens. Not just what was decided, but why, what alternatives were considered, and how decisions connect across teams and time. What does that actually mean? Leaders get a weekly synthesis of where teams are drifting and what needs attention. New hires ramp in days instead of weeks because "who do I ask about X?" has an answer. Status updates and decision logs are automated–no more chasing people. Today, Sentra’s been deployed in dozens of companies all the way from Seed stage to Global Fortune 500 enterprises. Finally, a massive thank you to our early believers - @anneleeskates, @ekaurghar, Chuck Dietrich, Alex Yang, @tllshankar - to name a few, for their support and guidance from the earliest of days. If you want to see what Sentra can do for your company, book a demo below.

hey i'm julia. i’m in my final year @UWaterloo, and this was my first hackathon. i didn't code a single line but got fully immersed in the experience. put on my journalist hat → interviewed builders about the problems they're solving. repped @shopify at the sponsor booth → chatted with future interns. played wingwoman → collected recruiter emails for my sister @nataliefedorin’s internship hunt (while she is on exchange). turns out you don't need to code to belong @HackTheNorth. you just need to show up with curiosity and find your own way to contribute. because every space needs storytellers, connectors, and people who care.

finally met @_sonith at the waterloo @zfellows meet s/o @adiprasadd @akatoshouse for hosting
