Adapter is out of stealth. 🧠 AI knows everything about the world and almost nothing about yours. We spent three and a half years fixing that — with $17.8M from GV, Bond, Hillspire and others to build a cognition layer for AI. It's a living knowledge graph of your world: deeper than any context window, cheaper to run, and sovereign to you. It never trains anyone's models. Grateful to Alex Konrad & Upstarts for the deep dive 👇 @adapter bit.ly/4ykeE9F

Bumped into Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum at Dubai Mall. Turns out we have the same taste in Oud! His Highness is well-loved by the Emiratis for building the United Arab Emirates into a tolerant and prosperous nation.

In Dubai today for my keynote at IEEE CCNCPS 2026. Catching cascading failures and intrusions in cyber-physical systems means analyzing graphs with billions of edges while they are still changing. That is what Arkouda and Arachne are built for. #HPC #GraphAnalytics #CyberPhysicalSystems

Are you tired of constantly briefing your AI about the same people and projects? @maxthoeny calls it “the re-explain pain”: before an agent can help, he has to repeat the context and latest updates every day. He connected his Adapter Mind to his @bot so he no longer has to.

Adapter Mind gives continuous understanding to your agents!
Lots of agents turn tasks into pull requests. But do they really understand what’s going on? One of our founding engineers @ponzodi built an internal bot powered by an Adapter Mind, giving it a continuous understanding of our company before he asks a question or assigns a task. adapter.com/blog/we-gave-ada…

Just had a “holy shit” moment sharing @adapter with a friend. Just connect all of your data and ask the API questions. 90% fewer tokens than ragmaxxing.

Adapter has built the cognition layer for AI!
Personal taste is one of the most evasive things to describe and the hardest to solve. Getting it right means cohering high dimensional understanding from an enormous range of seemingly unrelated inputs all the time. That’s why Netflix’s “Suggested for You” can't beat a recommendation from a friend. @BilyTzo used Adapter to turn her scattered data into a personal taste graph. You can too. adapter.com/blog/book-recomm…

What if your next great book recommendation was hiding in your Netflix watch history? @BilyTzo built an app to collect scattered recommendations. With Adapter, she turned that data into a taste graph, so shows and podcasts can inform what she reads next. adapter.com/blog/book-recomm…

Representing @NJIT today at the New Jersey AI Supercomputer Workshop, hosted by SHI in Piscataway. Universities, the Governor's Office, NVIDIA, and SHI at one table, working through architecture, data, and the research use cases a statewide AI resource should serve. #NJAI #HPC

Every leader is constantly asking the same question: who needs my help, and why? @Prof_DavidBader used Adapter Mind to give Claude cognition about his @NJIT research lab. Now he has a living dashboard surfacing when a student may need help. adapter.com/blog/building-a-…

“What’s going on in my research lab?” is surprisingly hard for AI to answer. So I gave Claude my @Adapter Mind, then used that same persistent understanding to build a proactive radar for my students that need attention. Learn more about how we built it here: bit.ly/4bs3lTg

Welcome to Newark, #FYEE2026. Delighted NJIT is hosting the First-Year Engineering Experience Conference, and especially glad to hear Juan Gilbert keynote on AI innovation, integrity, and informed doubt. A great start to the day. @NJIT

Had a great chat with Chris Malachowsky, co-founder of @NVIDIA, following his fireside chat at the #CRASummit. His perspective on how GPU architecture reshaped scientific computing and enables today's AI, and what that means for the next generation of researchers, was well worth the trip.
