Last Spring I took off from Google DeepMind, and I've been heads-down building since with an amazing team. Excited to share more today -- introducing Generalist. It's felt to me for a couple years, since we started bringing multimodal LLMs into robotics, that a subset of the ingredients for creating truly general purpose robot intelligence seem to be falling into place. But what's been needed is a new focus at the intersection of data, models, and hardware. No amount of downloading data from the internet, by itself, will create the level of fast, fluid, precise, reactive layer of intelligence in being able to interact with the physical world. In due time we'll be excited to share more, but what we're sharing today is about what the models have grown to be capable of. We think we've hit a new point on the frontier of general purpose real world intelligence – new levels of simultaneously fast, smooth, precise, reactive, bi-manual coordinated dexterity. Looking forward to sharing even more. Super proud of the team we've put together, and where we're headed. Reach out if you'd like to chat about working together!

I've been trying to delegate full 'projects' to genAI tools instead of just tasks. I made custom toy bin labels for my toddler. My big takeaways: 1) This is a lot like managing a very junior employee 2) There are still some major platform UX issues open.substack.com/pub/ellenc…

1/What a way to kick off #RSAC2025! 💪🏻 Congrats @ProtectAICorp on your exit to @PaloAltoNtwks! 🚀 It all started 3.5 yrs ago in Hawaii; @ianrswanson saw what almost no one else did: the future of AI security. We @Boldstartvc 🙏🏻 to partner from Inception Here's the story 🧵:

In Boston and working on a new startup? Come join me, SVB, and some great experts for a two week class + coworking time to hit the ground running: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

More from @stevenfabre on part (1) - with the great point that it's also about the experiences agents have interacting with humans.

💯 I think we need two words: (1) The word for the experience humans have interacting with agents (a subset of UX). (2) The word for the experience agents have while interacting with software (IMO probably overlaps the API gateway space).

After months of work, I'm excited to introduce a new @liveblocks ready‑made feature: AI Copilots. Our mission is simple: enable you to add AI to your product with pre-built interfaces that feel as natural as working with a teammate.

Here's our @Boldstartvc 2024 recap 🙏🏼 to all of our amazing founders, VC co-investors, strategic partners, + LPs. This was one of our most active years ever. + it's still just the early innings for AI in the enterprise. Read more: boldstart.vc/news/boldstart-…

Enjoyed talking about inception investing with @startupBOSorg! startupbos.org/post/talking-…

💪🏼 huge congrats @spectrocloudinc @tenryfu @SaaMalik @gautamjo on $75M Series C led by @GoldmanSachs! Huge validation for leading enterprise Kubernetes platform with >100% ARR growth YoY for 3 yrs as cloud, on-prem + AI use cases 📈 @Boldstartvc proud investor since Inception!

In honor of @crewAIInc inception, seed & A 🎉 @joaomdmoura - Future of AI Agents - How agents reason - Unlock for multi-agent adoption - Enterprise production use cases @Boldstartvc, @insightpartners, @amitvasudev_, @craft_ventures, @jaltma, @AndrewYNg, @dharmesh

Excited to share that @crewAIInc raised $18 million in funding, with our series A led by @insightpartners, with @Boldstartvc leading our inception round. We're also thrilled to welcome @BlitzVentures, Earl Grey Capital(@amitvasudev_), and top AI leaders like @AndrewYNg and @dharmesh on board. This investment is a major validation of our vision: CrewAI is delivering on the promise of generative AI for enterprise, transforming automation by harnessing the power of AI agents. Our open-source framework executes over 10 million agents each month and is already trusted by an estimate of nearly half of the Fortune 500 to achieve automations that were previously impossible. With the launch of CrewAI Enterprise, we're making it even easier for large organizations to design, test, and deploy complex AI agents at scale, with high-quality results. A huge thank you to our employees, customers, partners, and investors. We ship fast and are just getting started. ⚡⚡⚡

🚀 After an amazing time at Stellate, I've decided to start a new business. I've founded expand.ai, and we're in the current YC batch - S24! For techies: expand.ai instantly turns any website into a type-safe API you can rely on. 💻 For non-techies: We get you any dataset from the web. 📊

Congratulations @mxstbr !!

Big news: @Stellate has been acquired! 🎉 1. Stellate's eng team is joining @Shopify to tackle storefront performance 2. @TheGuildDev will be the new home for the product and all customers stellate.co/blog/stellate-ha… Let me tell the story of why and how this came together… 🧵

You might not have time to listen to 12+ episodes of scaling devtools, but you definitely have time to read the 12 things that stood out to @jacksbridger. I love that one can reasonably disagree with many of these!

Place comments over any website with @liveblocks. I built this example last year & I've just published a number of improvements, allowing comments to flip at the edge of the screen, and adding more polish.
