Today we're announcing $75M to build Solcoa One, our 500-tonne rare earth metallization plant in Nevada. At Solcoa, we believe rare earths are the foundation of America's next great industrial era. An era we intend to win on the merits, with superior American technology.

I'm excited to announce @SnorkelAI's $350M Series E at $3.5B, led by @insightpartners and @S32_VC. We've grown 18x+ in the last 12 months since launching our Data-as-a-Service offering, passing $375M ARRR this week. As AI advances to superhuman capabilities, AI data & environment development must advance with it - and basic staffing and crowdsourcing approaches are not enough. AI progress now requires deep research and technology work that combines human expertise with specialized AI in compounding ways. @SnorkelAI is building the RSI data engine and frontier data lab for this next phase. We're honored to have the support of existing investors Addition, @lightspeedvp, @GreylockVC, @GVteam, P7, Factory, @WellsFargo, Walden Catalyst Ventures, and new investors @ThirdPointLLC, @MarchCPs, @BlumbergCapital, @AllegisCapital, @Frontlinevc, and @standard_vc. – @SnorkelAI started as a research project a decade ago at @StanfordAILab. Our thesis was simple: AI progress would become increasingly data-centric – and therefore data development should be studied as a true research and technology problem, not just a staffing and crowdsourcing one. Today, as AI capabilities verge on superhuman, building the data and environments to safely measure and train AI is becoming too hard for even the smartest human experts to do alone. Only humans and AI agents, collaborating together in compounding ways, can meet the accelerating needs of the frontier, and keep humans in the driver’s seat of AI progress for decades to come. At @SnorkelAI, we are building the data lab to define the shape of this new “Data 2.0” frontier, and the new paradigms of human-computer interaction needed to advance it. Our key focus is building the RSI engine for data, where specialized AI models accelerate and improve human expert output, and in turn, scaled human supervision is used to continuously evaluate and improve these models – creating a powerful compounding loop to keep pace with an accelerating RSI frontier. With this round of funding, we are also doubling down on our commitments to support data development for open benchmarking and evaluation (more news here soon!); an increasingly diverse ecosystem of general and specialized intelligence; and a path to safe, well-aligned AI built on robust training and evaluation data. Data development will guide and drive the next stages of AI – and must do so in a human-centric, AI accelerated, open, diverse, and safe way. We are excited to support this mission in the next decade of research ahead at @SnorkelAI. More thoughts here: snorkel.ai/blog/data-2-0-and…

Introducing Devin Voice 🦦 ☎️ Your favorite AI software engineer just got a landline. You say it, Devin ships it. Powered by GPT-Live and our new SWE-2 model.
Introducing SWE-2, our closest model yet to the frontier. On leading evals, it scores on par with recent frontier models – at up to 70% lower cost. We scaled RL to multiple trillions of parameters, with a refined recipe that pushes the Pareto curve on both capabilities & cost.

Today marks exactly 1 year since we introduced Poke to the world. Since then, people have exchanged over 200M messages with Poke, with millions more every week. Can’t wait to share where our joint journey with @Cognition is headed! 🦦🌴
Poke
Poke is inevitable 🌴 there’s 100 reasons @interaction might lose as a company, from getting banned by messaging platforms to getting sued for price discrimination but Poke as a product is inevitable: > a single-threaded ai w all context in one place – simple and just like you talk to other humans > constantly running inference on live context like email/calendar > proactively offering you help, from checking you into flights to updating calendar invites, linear issues, notion docs, and responding to emails > right in your existing, familiar interface, with a high degree of spatial awareness (which platform did the msg come from, what time/location) > talking like your human friends instead of a sycophantic version of C-3PO > knowing you frighteningly well: → what you’re working on w which deadlines, and what are jobs and studies you’ve prev pursued → how you slept every morning (via whoop/oura) and what music you listen to (via spotify) → what you tweet and post on socials → which newsletters you read and creators/topics you follow → who your family, friends, and coworkers are → … becomes painfully obvious once you’ve tried it for a week. no normie wants to go into an app where they start from a blank conversation every time for everyday requests. no one wants a three-page em-dash-filled report about the history of the US dollar when just asking for a conversion rate. and rec’s for restaurants, purchases, things to do will be so much better from someone who knows what else you like from email receipts and travel itineraries i don’t know yet if we’ll be the ones winning this market, or if apple/google at some point ban us and copy our ux. but i’m betting everything on this becoming the biggest consumer product of our time. build the future and join us in palo alto: interaction.co/jobs

the reality is quite simple.. every breakthrough product will initially feel like it violates some existing privacy norm & the zealots will obviously feel uncomfortable. history has had this happen time & time again. gmail did to some extent. granola did it by background recording without consent. the next set of ai products will too. this is because tech way moves faster than our social norms around what feels acceptable. i.e. a lot of privacy violation is really just the lag between technological progress & cultural adaptation.

Folks, it finally happened. I had a vague memory of a Reddit comment I saw a few days ago, and wanted to find it. Both Reddit and Google search didn't work - BUT an AI agent that records my screen (@attentioninc) found it in seconds. The future is here!

Everyone says the AI bottleneck is model intelligence. It's not. It's context. Models can't automate what they can't see. Always on screen recording is a missing layer that is very valuable, and a step beyond products like Granola or Firefliers. That's the unlock. Two companies building here @attentioninc @screenpipe

We’re ending our partnership with Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX. Under our proposal, Cursor’s direct access to our models would end on November 12. We know that the people most affected by this decision are the developers who rely on OpenAI models in Cursor. We care about their experience in this transition and we’re ready to go above and beyond to support them. openai.com/index/our-decisio…

why I hear of no one using Coast by @attentioninc ? it basically records everything you are doing on your computer, completely locally and with low memory usage, so you can use it as context for your agents. immense value anyone using it here?

had a great time discussing AI research and adoption in Germany with the research and technology committee of the German Bundestag yesterday
Auch der Forschungsausschuss des Bundestags ist gerade in Sachen KI unterwegs. Waren heute bei OpenAI in San Francisco. Besuchen Berkeley und Stanford und die führenden KI Firmen. Deutschland darf nicht noch mehr in eine neue Abhängigkeit geraten. Wir brauchen eigene KI Modelle

this means we're not far away from being able to trade @UseCorgi with 5x leverage. the state of 2026 private markets
We are releasing the first liquid way to trade Anthropic. For far too long, frontier assets have only been accessible to a select few. We are here to bring them to the masses. Introducing EntropyIO. We’ve raised $14M led by Ribbit Capital and a $40M HYPE stake to build both improved and entirely new markets, the first of which are live on Hyperliquid today.
