We have raised $61M, but that’s not what excites me. Our original idea was fine tuning LLMs for enterprises. Although we topped some benchmarks, the business was not viable.
giga's engineering team is finally free. we've finally moved to a monorepo - too many @Codex and @Cursor in slack though.

🚀 Hello, Kimi K2 Thinking! The Open-Source Thinking Agent Model is here. 🔹 SOTA on HLE (44.9%) and BrowseComp (60.2%) 🔹 Executes up to 200 – 300 sequential tool calls without human interference 🔹 Excels in reasoning, agentic search, and coding 🔹 256K context window Built as a thinking agent, K2 Thinking marks our latest efforts in test-time scaling — scaling both thinking tokens and tool-calling turns. K2 Thinking is now live on kimi.com in chat mode, with full agentic mode coming soon. It is also accessible via API. 🔌 API is live: platform.moonshot.ai 🔗 Tech blog: moonshotai.github.io/Kimi-K2… 🔗 Weights & code: huggingface.co/moonshotai

We are hiring. If any of the problems below excite you, apply at giga.ai/careers - How do we build an AI system which hallucinates less than 0.01% of the time? ChatGPT currently hallucinates 4-5% of the time (read more here) - How do we scale our infra to 100s of millions of calls a day? - How do we build a voice experience which is more pleasant than talking with another human? This involves optimizing latency down to 400ms (genius within a second)

And then we ended up in customer support – not because we were passionate about it, but because we just really wanted to change the world with AI. Customer support is one of the few places where you can make a lot of impact using AI right now. Our vision is building an enterprise operations platform where the next trillion dollar companies will be built. And customer support is just the start.

I've been very impressed with the execution and speed of the @gigaml in improving our support AI performance. Thanks Varun and the team for the partnership!
Excited to share our partnership with DoorDash. Together we went from kickoff to real impact — in weeks, not quarters. Highlights: - Time to value: weeks, not quarters - Quality at scale: 90%+ DWR in production - Built for scale: 10B+ lifetime orders, 500K+ merchants, 8M+ Dashers, and hundreds of thousands of daily assistance requests

Giga is quietly growing faster than any company I've ever seen. Doordash chose them for customer support because only their AI agents can handle extremely complex edge cases. Giga agents can call both the customer and Dasher at the same time and listen to both to figure out what to do. It's like Her with less romance but giant ACV's.

I've heard real Giga calls in action and they're bringing superintelligence to customer support calls. Literally answering and getting people to the correct end outcome faster than any human could. (Giga beat all players available to win DoorDash, so this is a big day for them)

DoorDash has been an amazing partner in driving our product roadmap & voice experience in particular. Excited to finally announce our partnership - the case study contains some of the very complex real-world issues we solve (multi-party coordination at scale).

Just tried this model - way worse than Composer and GPT-5. Composer is actually decent
Today we’re releasing SWE-1.5, our fast agent model. It achieves near-SOTA coding performance while setting a new standard for speed. Now available in @windsurf.

Albert is already working on some of the high impact problems within our company. Welcome
I’ve joined @gigaml as Head of Product. I met @varunvummadi & @eshamanideep at @ycombinator when it was their first time in America. They’ve since scaled their voice AI platform to handle millions of calls for companies like DoorDash 🚗 I’m helping Giga build what comes next. If you’re an engineer, designer, or operator who’s obsessed with scale, autonomy, and impact, I’d love to talk. Let’s move the world towards perfect execution with AI.

very interesting
Replying to @claudeai
On the Claude API, we’ve added two new capabilities to build agents that handle long-running tasks without frequently hitting context limits: - Context editing to automatically clear stale context - The memory tool to store and consult information outside the context window
