Our new op-ed (with @ericschmidt) just came out in the @washingtonpost. The AI landscape is shifting fast. Chinese company DeepSeek shocked the AI world with its new models—on par with OpenAI’s o1. Here’s what it means for US-China AI supremacy, and for open vs closed AI. 🧵1/8

Congrats @juliusadml on this big milestone!
Excited to announce our $9M USD seed round led by @Initialized and the first large-scale interpretable LLM: an 8 billion parameter model capable of explaining its outputs through mechanisms humans can actually understand.

Congrats @AshwinRamaswami & al !
AI revolutionized coding. Security hasn't kept up–until now. Introducing @CorridorSecure: the future of secure coding. We just raised a $5.4M seed from @Conviction and hired @alexstamos. Corridor is trusted by leading companies like @cursor_ai–and we’re just getting started. 🧵
