Couldn’t be happier or more humbled. #BUILD is a @nytimes Bestseller. I learned A LOT writing #Buildbook w/the best co-writer I could’ve ever dreamt of @dina323.

.@lumafield gives engineers X-ray vision! I wish we had this when we were building the #iPod and #iPhone. Imagine a doctor trying to see a broken bone without an X-ray. Before @lumafield that’s exactly what engineers were stuck with trying to see inside their own products.

We're excited to announce that we've closed a $75 million Series C funding round, led by @IVP! As the world renews its focus on manufacturing, we're there to help engineers push the limits of their fields. Article in the next post below.

7/7 If you’re looking for a good read, @stratechery did a DeepSeek FAQ and MoE/ASI are at the heart of the model.

6/7 I've been in the trenches long enough to know the difference between hype and real innovation. Artificial Specific Intelligence is the way forward. Cc: Build Collective companies doing it right: @plumerai @OrionisBio @QuibimBiomarker @nabla_ai @Smartex_AI.

5/7 This isn't just about being responsible – it's about building something that actually works. ASI isn't some compromise or stepping stone. It's the smart path forward. It's sustainable, it's efficient, and most importantly, it's real engineering, not science fiction. This.

4/7 We need a LinkedIn for AI Agents. Before I "hire," I want to know:.·  What exact data it was trained on.·  Its track record of successes AND failures.·  Specific projects it's handled.·  Its hallucination rate (yes, this needs to be measured!). Whether you're using AI as a.

3/7 Companies are betting their entire reputations on AI systems they barely understand. It's like shipping a product without testing! Would you do that with hardware? Never. So why are we doing it with AI?. We need to be looking at near term milestones. When I was building the.

2/7 Then DeepSeek drops their Mixture of Experts (MoE) model, and suddenly everyone's acting surprised. This is exactly what I've been talking about, multiple times, on the record, for months. It's like having a team of specialized experts instead of one know-it-all consultant.

1/7 It's been over a week since DeepSeek news broke the Internet. For months I've been saying we should focus on Artificial Specific Intelligence (ASI). Why? Because it's exactly what we need right now – not these bloated, power-hungry, hallucination-prone LLMs that everyone's.

Turning medical images into actionable data- @QuibimBiomarker is using Artificial Specific Intelligence to analyze medical imaging with precision, detect disease early, and improve treatment outcomes. From detecting subtle changes in brain structure for early Alzheimer's.
