Huge milestone for @oisinhanrahan, @umangdua, @jordanweitz_23, and team @keychain_ai as the CPG industry rapidly adopts their AI-powered platform. 8 of the top 10 retailers (+ @7eleven, @WholeFoods) and 7 of the top 10 CPG brands, including @GeneralMills, all use Keychain.

The AI transition is coming - here's how I'm responding. With warnings of mass job displacement due to AI, I've been deeply concerned about the future workforce our children’s generation will enter. As this transition looms, we must devote more attention, experimentation, and

AI that truly understands the physical world should not be limited by robot type or tasks. We tackle robotics in its full generality @SkildAI. The goal is to build a continually improving, omni-bodied brain that can control any hardware for any task. https://t.co/B6pdBM6utn

We’ve been building quietly — starting tomorrow, we go live. Here’s a teaser of what we did before Skild AI. It has shaped what’s coming next. 07/29. Stay tuned.

Excited to see @MishaLaskin, @real_ioannis, and the amazing team at @reflection_ai launch Asimov - a code-research agent built for engineering teams and organizations working with large, complex codebases. Join the waitlist here!
tryasimov.reflection.ai
Engineers spend 70% of their time understanding code, not writing it. That’s why we built Asimov at @reflection_ai. The best-in-class code research agent, built for teams and organizations.

Meet Playmatic: your AI QA agent that turns any instruction into automated regression tests. We built this with customers across multiple industries, even catching a critical bug for a multibillion $ company on staging. We are looking for testers! DM me or sign up below.

Huge congrats to @aditabrm and @raunakdoesdev on today’s Series A announcement! Amazing to see the pace of execution - and all the love from customers using @reductoai to ingest hundreds of millions of documents!
We raised a $24.5M Series A led by @benchmark, bringing total funding to $33M!🚀 Last year we set out to define the state of the art in document processing. Today, companies like Vanta, Airtable, and ScaleAI trust @reductoai to ingest hundreds of millions of documents. (1/7)

Congratulations to @MishaLaskin, @real_ioannis, and the entire @reflection_ai team on today’s public launch! It’s been an honor to be part of the journey with one of the strongest Reinforcement Learning (RL) research teams in the world since day one. They’re also hiring:
Today I’m launching @reflection_ai with my friend and co-founder @real_ioannis. Our team pioneered major advances in RL and LLMs, including AlphaGo and Gemini. At Reflection, we're building superintelligent autonomous systems. Starting with autonomous coding.

AI can now do QA better than real humans. Never lose another customer to buggy software. Never write a test again. Watch how Playmatic generates a testing strategy, executes it and reports the bugs it finds:

Well-deserved recognition for the hardest-working team in crypto! Not surprised to see @chriseyin, @teddyP_xyz, @eyqshen, and the @plumenetwork team on this list as they have always put company values and the goon community first.
Great to see @plumenetwork on this list of top web3 companies to work for So many great projects on here like @solana @Optimism @biconomy @OffchainLabs @eigenlayer @0xPolygon @chainlink and more, many folks that we work with and all folks that we look up to! We're hiring
