This might be the most compelling application of LLMs yet — helping doctors and other medical professionals better diagnose and treat patients leveraging the latest medical literature. And because it’s free-to-use, almost half of US doctors are already members.
Overworked. Overscheduled. Buried under a firehose of research. Doctors today face an impossible task. @EvidenceOpen reasons about millions of studies in fast-progressing medicine to give clinicians the answers they need at the moment of care.

One of the arcs of technology over the past ~25 years has been the barbell-ification of industries – e.g., you're either the NYTimes or you're an individual on Substack. Being a regional newspaper is hard. I think the same stratification will happen in SaaS – there'll be a small.

Congrats to @acv, Sunil and the entire team @meter! As Anil knows, nothing gets me more excited than deploying supremely (over)powered networking gear!.
We raised $170M in Series C funding to build better networks—ones that are faster, more reliable, and fit to power the most ambitious teams and organizations.

This model is pretty mind blowing. You can just record an audio clip and either describe the scene or upload a still image and it'll just fully generate the video – with emotion, expressions, hand gestures, etc. The @getcaptionsapp team is doing some crazy novel model work.
Introducing Mirage Studio. Powered by our proprietary omni-modal foundation model. Generate expressive videos at scale, with actors that actually look and feel alive. Our actors laugh, flinch, sing, rap — all of course, per your direction. Just upload an audio, describe the

The @statsig team has gone from founding to the essential platform for product development in just ~4 years. And I think we're just getting started. Congrats to the whole team and welcome to @12muralij and the team at @ICONIQGrowth.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce $100M in Series C funding at a $1.1B valuation, led by @ICONIQGrowth with continued support from @sequoia and @MadronaVentures. More on our vision and what's to come in the thread below.
