I am so bored of hearing podcasts with guests that have done the podcast tour. Benchmark added Ev Randle as their latest GP. This is his first public appearance as a Benchmark GP. - Why Margins Matter Less in AI - Why Mega Funds Will Not Produce Good Returns - OpenAI vs…
Our video editing model Lucy-Edit just got way better. 2× faster, half the price (and open source). More control, faster performance, and seamless results.
If our clients win, we win. Law firms have knowledge and specialized expertise that businesses rely upon, but until now, there has been no effective way of collaborating with clients in the age of AI. Today, we're changing that. legora.com/newsroom/porta…
There are rare moments in history, where builders have the privilege of turning a niche hobby into something the whole world can use. While crypto infrastructure has consistently improved, user experience has remained an afterthought. Since fomo’s beta launch 6 months ago, our…
Thrilled to announce our Series A investment in fomo. This remarkable team led by @PaulErlanger and @pseudosey have a clear vision to make digital assets accessible to consumers by abstracting away all the technical complexity. And their growth on all metrics is exceptional.

With immense gratitude and appreciation for @roelofbotha and his legendary leadership over the better part of a decade, @Alfred_Lin and I are honored to accept the torch and become the next stewards of @sequoia Here is the note I shared internally:
Why we built LangSmith for improving agent quality As more agents move into production, teams need to move beyond vibe-checking and bring rigor to how they understand agent behavior at scale. In this video, the LangSmith engineering team and Harrison (@hwchase17) sit down to…
Manus topped the @Scale_AI Remote Labor Index. Interestingly, it was our older agent architecture, running a model from this June that was leading performance We've since shipped Manus 1.5, a major architecture upgrade with powerful new web development capabilities.
Legora's path from our seed round in March 2024 to launching the product in Oct 2024 to being one of the fastest growing AI software companies in the world is truly remarkable. This is an exceptional team delivering sensational products and innovation to their customers.
$150M Series C. $1.8B valuation. One mission: to empower every lawyer with world-class AI. We build AI with the people who use it. Every success at Legora starts with collaboration: co-developing, iterating, and scaling technology hand in hand with our customers.
Huge day for @WeAreLegora today! We’ve raised a $150M Series C at a $1.8B valuation. Thank you @BessemerVP , @ICONIQCapital , @generalcatalyst , @Redpoint , @benchmark , and @ycombinator – and to all of our clients: this celebration is as much yours as it is ours.
Applied Compute has assembled an incredible team to solve some of the hardest problems that companies are facing when building with AI. We're thrilled to have led their seed round! Onward!

The AI Cloud is up for grabs. The business will far surpass the CPU Clouds we have so far (which are huge). AWS started with object storage, what will the AI Cloud start with? There are many shots on goal - starting with DC space, starting with GPUs, starting with…
