MetaVoice is now Familiar. Voice AI is growing fast, but most interactions still feel like a walkie-talkie. That's why voice agents today are largely limited to scripted, QA-style conversations. For voice AI to move beyond that, it has to adapt to the way people already speak. Not the other way around. Talking to AI should feel familiar, like talking to another person. That is the standard we named the company after. At the core of Familiar is a full-duplex speech model built to make that possible. It listens while it speaks, for a continuous, two-way conversation. More on the rename and where we're going: familiar.io/blog/metavoice-i…

Project Ranger is moving fast. 17 buildings built. 1.6 million cubic yards of earth moved. 300 workers on site. Speed matters, and we're doing our part to rebuild the Arsenal of Freedom.

Today we’re launching Mia & Leo: AI personalities backed by purpose built duplex speech models for revenue calls. It listens while it speaks so voice agents can handle interruptions, overlap, and background speech without turning the call into a walkie-talkie conversation.

the biggest risk for AI is the concentration of power and bias in the hands of the few, something @finkd knows well we wrote about this over three years ago @gensynai, our approach has matured but our assertions remain - we should all have access to AI paragraph.com/@gensyn/the-ma…

Today, @KAIKAKU_AI is joining REEF. We engineered the autonomy. REEF built the platform and scale to deploy it, having raised more than $1.5B from investors including @SoftBank and @Mubadala. We're not here to merely to build an impressive robot. We're here to prove that the technology was ready, the unit economics worked and the only thing left was scale. REEF is that scale. More soon.

We backed @greenjetsuk when they were building drone engines out of a shipping container in Bedford, UK. 3 years later they're fast becoming the UK’s next aerospace prime - developing the propulsion, aircraft and launch technologies that will underpin Western resilience.

The West was losing it's ability to project strength back to its adversaries. @Castelion is bringing peace through strength, with next-generation military systems and rapid, scaleable manufacturing.

Google and XTX backing a German fusion start-up reflects rising private capital chasing nuclear bets. Fusion’s scale and timeline mean patient, risk-tolerant capital is critical. UK must rethink capital formation to compete in frontier energy tech.  ft.com/content/3b1665f4-9a48…

Agree with this. But if it’s a startup in the @paulg sense of a “startup” first find a big hairy problem which affects a lot of people at scale, which you are passionate about solving. Too many companies start tech first or almost by accident, because someone thinks they can build a better X. When actually the question is “how do we solve the problem of Y 10 or 100 times better than X does today?” Or even better—- set out to solve a problem for society that nobody has solved yet.

Robots for rent highlight automation’s shift from bespoke to on-demand. This could lower adoption barriers for UK SMEs, but also exposes gaps in skills/ integration support. The bottleneck remains in practical deployment, not just hardware availability.  bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gy…

What does a quantum mechanic actually do all day? Less Schrödinger, more Python. The latest podcast ep. debunks the myth across the lab, the chip cycle and algorithms. Listen here: universalquantum.com/knowled… #QuantumFrontier #SolveScaleChangeWorld

Falling hardware costs saw mainframe computers replaced by PCs and smartphones. The same will happen in AI.

you are being deceived there’s a sect that wants you to believe that AI must run on remote machines, owned by big companies, and rented to you on-demand because it’s too expensive and too powerful to be run at home this isn’t true. AI will have its home PC moment very soon

A new chapter begins for @MissionLittlePr 🌹 With @Fondation_ASEJ @Le_PetitPrince, @InterstellarLA is taking the iconic rose beyond Earth - to orbit aboard @vast Haven-1 station in 2027, then to the Moon with @Astrolab_Space in 2028 paving the way toward Mars.

British defence is reaching a critical milestone today. The DIP starts a national conversation we must have about making Britain battle-ready. On Sky News this morning, Ross Exley, Hadean’s VP for Defence Strategy, stressed the importance of making Britain a great place to grow and scale up a business, as well as starting one, if we want to expand defence capabilities. Ross also talked to POLITICO Europe about how the lessons from Ukraine have inspired this new vision for our armed forces. politico.eu/article/britain-… We are looking forward to hearing more details when the Prime Minister and Defence Secretary speak later today. Hadean remains committed to its mission to ensure British and Allied warfighters have the best software to help them train, plan, and decide faster on the battlefield.
