🏙️ @synthesiaIO has opened a new US headquarters in New York City!
Synthesia's avatars may be AI-created, but the company's NYC office is 100% real. No green screen, no synthetic backdrop — just the team, on the ground, in the city. 🗽
Synthesia's AI video platform is used by over 90% of the Fortune 100, and this expansion is a strong signal of New York's continued growth as a global hub for applied AI innovation.
Congratulations! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

NEA recently led @positron_ai's $875M Series C — now @NeehaarGandhi @psikryan @lilatretikov @ScottDSandell & Forest Baskett are sharing why we think this is the next architectural reset for AI.
⚠️ AI just hit a trillion-dollar traffic jam — and it's not compute that's stuck, it's memory and networking. We think we found the company built to fix it.
⚡ Meet Asimov: a chip that ditches the switch entirely, links 16,000+ chips directly, and crams in more memory than anything else on the market. No HBM. No CoWoS. No bottleneck.
🚀 5x the tokens per dollar. A fraction of the power. And the its first-gen system already live.

3...2...1...BLASTOFF! 🚀
Congratulations to the @Spektr team on launching Spektr 3.0.
Launching in regulated industries is harder than it should be and regulation isn't going anywhere. Compliance shouldn't be the thing that slows good products down. That's why Spektr 3.0 introduces 3 new products--Policy Engine, Transaction Monitoring and Case AI--that bring onboarding, monitoring and resolution onto one system, governed by your own policies.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Introducing Merge for Workforce!
📋 IT picks the model routing policies for each team, fast and cheap for routine work, frontier models for the hard stuff, etc.
📞 Every call ties back to a person, team, and model, so IT finally sees where the AI budget actually goes.
⚙️ IT is able to audit and grant access to approved connectors and skills straight to employees' AI tools, so people get the right access without asking, and nothing shows up that wasn't approved.
💻 The controls follow employees across whatever they use, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.
Congratulations, @shensi @GilFeig & the @merge_api team! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
More details below 👇🏽
We just cut AI spend by 75% across an entire workforce in one click.
Introducing: Merge for Workforce.
Without Merge, your employees are left choosing one of two options:
1. Spend 100x the cost they should be from using frontier models for everything
2. Deliver subpar work from overly restrictive model access
Instead with Merge, IT can connect any identity provider and set model routing policies by team in one click.
Merge pushes them to every machine through a desktop client, overriding the model configs across your team’s AI assistants and coding tools.
Now every task gets the right model for the job.
The result? 75x fewer tokens with faster and better output.

📢 Recent announcement from @brale_xyz: Introducing ION Protocol: cross-chain liquidity for everyone.
ON Protocol eliminates the liquidity ceiling limiting the growth of stablecoins. As stablecoins and chains proliferate, it becomes impossible to duplicate deep liquidity across every ecosystem, capping potential. ION solves for that, delivering cross-chain liquidity for everyone.
