Just stumbled across this photo of my son and I picking up my daughter at the airport. Every kid in the airport got a photo with us!

There's been a lot of interest recently in @MenloVentures's 2025 Enterprise AI report! We started publishing this report in 2023 to put real numbers behind how enterprise adoption of generative AI was actually evolving. Three years in, we've captured just how quickly the market has accelerated -- growing to $37B+ this year -- as well as @AnthropicAI's growing presence in the enterprise. The full methodology is in the report (just scroll to the bottom!) but wanted to share more about who we talked to for this report. We worked with a third-party research firm to survey nearly 500 execs actively buying and building with AI, ranging from Fortune 500 financial institutions to high-growth AI-native startups Of the builders: - 334 surveyed used a model API - 34% CIO / CTO / CEO - 47% in companies of 1K+ FTEs - 61% in tech - 42% IT / 24% product & engineering Respondents didn't know Menlo commissioned the study and none came from our network

Always amuses me when I ask Claude to improve a Google slide. Instead of just listing suggestions like "add shadows" or "try gradients," it straight up codes full HTML/CSS versions to show me exactly what it means. It's like asking for directions and getting a working GPS. Total flex.

Adarsh Hiremath on whether we will have a future of many specialised models or fewer generalised models: “We will have many models with different use cases. Companies will customize their own models for their own purposes. We are already seeing this with application layer companies today.” Do you think we will live in a world of many specialised models @chaselochmiller @scottbelsky @mikeyshulman ?

Mercor is solving talent allocation in the AI economy. The difference between greatness and failure is the right person being in the right place at the right time. Putting them there is the hardest unsolved problem in capitalism. We’re excited to announce our $100M Series B at a $2B valuation from @felicis, @generalcatalyst, @benchmark, DST and @MenloVentures.

Wearing an Oura ring, Apple Watch, and Lingo glucose monitor. Hoping they will somehow motivate my inner sloth. 💪

Tsunami warning in San Francisco today. It's a west coast thing. We used Menlo Labs startup fastview.ai to dive into the data behind the story "The Rock Isn't Alone: Lots of People Are Worried About 'The Big One'".

Glad I can track my mail-in ballot. Love our national motto, "E pluribus unum" - out of many, one. Voting makes that unity possible. #vote

Proof I'm a techno-optimist: Just played chicken with a Waymo on my scooter. I was confident it would stop for me.

Read this headline: "Perhaps Harris’s most surprising policy announcement was her plan to ban 'price gouging' in grocery and food prices". She's talking about Whole Foods right?
