💧 Disposing of Permian Basin wastewater is becoming too expensive and environmentally hazardous. Deep tech is turning that liability into a resource. Read the investment case in our Deep Tech Opportunities report: dcvc.com/uploads/Reports/DTO…

Generational world changing company in the making, lots already done, lots more to do. LFG @ADoricko
Rainmaker has raised $100M to become the world’s best lab for weather modification and atmospheric science.
Thank you @noavctech @upfrontvc @DCVC @lowercarbon @DreamVenturesVC and other visionary partners.
We are aggressively hiring and scaling our research org to create a flywheel of atmospheric data collection, synthesis, understanding, and intervention.
We will solve the weather and we will set the stage for the terraformation of Earth.

Jev, a new kind of AI model, is showing developers a cheaper and faster path to software intelligence.

AI could break the grid. But there’s another way—we don't have to choose between technological progress and energy security; we just have to build differently.

For years, Digit had a bird-like stance, tuned for efficient, dynamic motion. Digit 5 is being engineered with a redesigned leg for the other half of real work: squatting low and lifting heavy, the way a person does when the load's on the floor.
Thanks to @bheater and @a3automate for the coverage.

Incredibly excited for @TypeSafeAI's launch--a foundation model optimized for automation.
Huge congrats for all their hard work to Diogo (@completeskeptic) and the whole team!
After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Varun Sivaram and his team at @EmeraldAi_ wasting exactly no time at all. This is how a better grid happens.👏
@vsiv @Google @nvidia
🚨🚨Announcing the AI Energy Management Alliance (AEMA), founded by @EmeraldAI_, @Google, and @NVIDIA! We're launching with 20 amazing members, spanning AI leaders @AnthropicAI and @ADI_News to energy leaders @TheAESCorp, @ConstellationEG, @nationalgrid, @nrgenergy, @RWE_AG, and more.
🗞️Read the @Axios profile of the AEMA by @AmyHarder: axios.com/2026/09/16/tech-gi… ; and the feature at Heatmap News from Matthew Zeitlin: heatmap.news/energy/ai-energ…
📰Dive deeper with my launch op-ed in Fortune about why Emerald AI founded the AEMA in close collaboration with fellow founding members Google and NVIDIA: fortune.com/2026/09/16/data-…
📢See the full announcement from the AEMA and our members: lnkd.in/e_8iZM6V
🔗Visit the AEMA website: aema.ai/
🗣️Read endorsements from distinguished leaders across the policy spectrum: aema.ai/quotes
📝Understand AI power flexibility with the new The Brattle Group report commissioned by @Google: shorturl.at/GdgPS
🤝We're all committed to advancing flexible AI data centers that are good citizens on the power grid and to local communities. The AEMA will champion policies to reward flexible data centers that promote energy affordability and reliability with faster and larger connections to the power grid. Together, we can secure a triple win: (1) accelerating AI innovation and competitiveness as we unlock 100GW of power on America's existing grid for flexible AI data centers; (2) curbing energy bills for local communities by better utilizing the grid we already have; and (3) bolstering the reliability of the power grid as flexible AI data centers respond during peak grid stress and support more reliable power for neighborhoods, factories, and hospitals.
🙏Grateful to our fantastic partners at @Google (shoutout to my friend @tylerhnorris for your leadership and landmark Duke University paper uncovering the 100GW opportunity for flexible AI!) and @NVIDIA (deeply grateful for the leadership of Josh Parker, a champion of AI for Good, Vladimir Troy, leader of the AI and Energy DSX Ecosystem, and Levi Patterson and Nicole Weinrauch, whose leadership has shaped the AEMA). Frank Lacey, Isaac Brown, and Lauren Culbertson Grieco are incredible leaders running the AEMA organization. And our Emerald team led by Michael Panfil with Swasti Jain Ermek D. who did so much heavy lifting. Also grateful to our incredible cohort of launch partners Ariel Horowitz, PhD (Anthropic), Chris Shelton (AES), Andrea Hu-Bianco, Ph.D. (RWE), Kimberly Blakemore (ADI), Mike Kramer (Constellation), Marek Tadeusz Wolek (Fluence), Aaron Panzer (National Grid), and so many more!

.@DCVC-backed @RainmakerCorp is helping save the Great Salt Lake. 👇
This is the only private cloud-seeding company to validate its results--to the tune of 143M gallons of fresh water for Oregon and Utah residents in just the first 4 months of 2026. And that's just a fraction of the what they'll generate this year.
Proven deep tech solving a problem affecting millions of Americans. 💪

Absolutely insane launch by @typesafeai of their model.
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
How? Totally new way of thinking, a code-like, Type Safe output that's reliable and optimized for machine to machine. This is huge.
Glad @DCVC led the seed round here. Hats off @hardimanjames

Today’s AI models require constant human supervision because they aren't optimized for autonomous execution. Backed by a $40M Series Seed led by @DCVC, @typesafeai is emerging from stealth with its first model, Jev—which delivers frontier intelligence at <100ms latency, running up to 100x faster and cheaper than existing frontier models. 💪 🔥
Built by @OpenAI veteran Diogo Almeida (@CompleteSkeptic), TypeSafe is turning AI into a machine-native utility.
Great @Forbes coverage in 🧵
