Today we’re unveiling Odyssey-3, a big step forward for foundation world models. It can control robots, power humanoids, drive cars (on the roads of India!), train AIs, pilot drones, and even play video games. We can’t wait to see what intelligent systems it enables.

Lovable just raised $400M at a $13.3B valuation to build the business that helps build businesses. Apps built on Lovable now get 900M visits every month, and we’ve quadrupled ARR in the last 12 months. Since we started, Lovable has become the place where founders create million dollar businesses, business leaders spin up new product lines, and people inside companies rewire workflows and build tools that fit their exact needs, typically at a fraction of what software used to cost. There’s a lot more to do. We will create the most intuitive platform to build and run a business. That means: - Understanding what success looks like for you, then helping you achieve it. Not only ensuring your software works but also that you can attract customers, improve workflows, and grow your company. - Deeper integrations that work with your existing tech stack so you can build the interface to your entire business across sales, ops, marketing, finance, etc. - Becoming the safest platform to build and run your business on, which means secured code by default and that you get help to make safe decisions. As you build, the platform carries more of the security weight, spotting risks and helping you close them, so you can move fast without needing to become a security expert. - Staying model-independent and orchestrating the best models for every task so you don’t have to. We’ll continue to absorb the complexity of evaluating and teaching models to route to the best ones in the background, to minimize cognitive load for our users. As more people depend on Lovable, the quality standards our team is driving increase every single day. We’re growing the team with people with a founder mindset: curious, ambitious, and who think end to end. Model training, product geniuses, infrastructure tinkerers, and security are the priority. The world is full of ambitious people with deep knowledge of problems worth solving. Very few of them have historically had the power to act on them. Our ambition is to give people that power, and then help them achieve more than they thought possible. Thank you to everyone who has followed along our journey. Thank you to @MenloVentures for leading, the Scaleup Europe Fund (managed by @eqt) for co-leading, and all of the new and returning investors who recognize our global ambitions and will help make them a reality. We have made a lot of progress but we are nowhere close to done, it’s still day zero. See our blog: lovable.dev/blog/series-c

Introducing NEO’s 25 Degrees of Freedom, tendon-driven hands — nearing or surpassing human-level dexterity, strength, speed, and reliability. For seventy years, robotics worked around the hand problem. The humanoid bet is the reverse: it lives or dies at the fingertips.

We’re thrilled to announce our $23M Series A led by @Sequoia - joined by @patrickc, @collision, and @david_helgason. Honored to welcome @roelofbotha to our board. We’ve entered a new era of manufacturing. Reusable rockets. Humanoid robots. Self-driving cars. Humanity is reinventing how it builds. We started by building hybrid rocket engines. Along the way, we built tools that made us move faster - design, build, test, iterate. Those tools became @buildonfloweng. Today, Flow has become the default platform for next-gen hardware teams, powering the systems that will define our future.

It feels like the magic’s gone from entertainment today. But it wasn’t always this way. New technology once unlocked films and games we thought were impossible. We’re bringing that magic back at @odysseyml—powered by something new in AI.

After a lot of hard work and countless iterations, today @Superlist is launching their version 1.0. Huge shoutouts to @jansenniklas , @Brandon_Arnold , @marcelkaeding, @christianreber and the rest of the team. After trying pretty much everything in GTD and todo land, @eqtventures led Superlist's Series Seed back in 2022. Huge thanks to @christianreber and @CherryVentures for inviting us in back then. Here's a great write-up by @verge: theverge.com/2024/2/13/24071… And here's the @eqtventures investment post from back in 2022: medium.com/eqtventures/after…

Today is a special day for me – we’re releasing @Superlist 1.0 – the new home for all your lists. Get it now for Mac, iOS, Android & Web: superlist.com When we sold Wunderlist in 2015 to Microsoft, I felt broken. We put so much hard work and passion into building the software, but I didn’t feel like we’d actually finished the job. Our vision has always been to build the ultimate to-do app that works perfectly for your personal and professional projects. Wunderlist was simple, beautiful, and easy – but never optimized for teams. When Microsoft took over my team and relaunched Wunderlist under its new brand, Microsoft ToDo, I tried to use it, but it just wasn’t for me. So I tried buying Wunderlist back but didn’t succeed. That was the day I decided to found Superlist – the real successor product to Wunderlist. Our team worked incredibly hard on Superlist – we are super excited to launch v1.0 today. The product is still early, but we feel the time is right. Our goals for the upcoming months are to make Superlist simpler, more delightful, and incredibly useful and productive for teams. Thank you to the Superlist team for being patient and really giving their best, especially in the last months. This is the start of a long journey. We’re super excited and can’t wait for your feedback!
