We drove 410% conversion lift on @Replit's enterprise funnel, 2x-ing the number of demo requests. All in a matter of months. "Coframe makes you feel like you have a team of 100 people. There's nothing on the market like it." ⧉ x ⠕

Today we unveiled Neo Residency, a new program for startups and high-agency student teams. 🎉 We’re replacing our best-known program, Neo Accelerator, with something even better and more selective. 🧵

this YC co by @noah_yin7 just put out an AI generated launch video as full of historical characters as the FTX super bowl commercial with Larry David. just as good and probably .001% the cost youtube.com/watch?v=VOZJwx27…

Congratulations @masonwang025 @dhruv31415 and Ben -- excited to be part of the journey as you build @tilderesearch!
We're thrilled to be launching Tilde. We're applying interpretability to unlock deep reasoning and control of models, enabling the next generation of human-AI interaction. By understanding a model's inner mechanisms, we can enhance both its reliability and performance—going beyond what's possible with traditional techniques like fine-tuning alone. Check out what Tilde can do.

Thanks for joining! We think that Reid (left) could be the next @patrickc (right) 🙃 ... since you joined for both demo days, hope you would say you agree!
☀️ SF is hot with Demo Days (and outdoor temps). Thank you for having us today @pearvc and @join_ef! So many impressive founders building important products. Also, we learned the importance of having a good walk on song for pitches. 🎶

"ripping" is in. "crushing it" is out. that happened fast! when bragging about your portfolio companies, it's crucial to get the jargon du jour right (don't even try with "killing it" or "up and to the right")

No more naked LLM access! After months of hard work, our team is thrilled to bring you our #1 most requested feature — Guardrails Server. As more engineers put @guardrails_ai around their LLM in production, we’re making Guardrails deployment easier than ever. Why this matters: ✅ Easy cloud deployment: Seamlessly dockerize the Guards you’re running locally ✅ OpenAI SDK compatibility: Protect your OpenAI or LLM Proxy service with a single line change. ✅ Cross language support: Use the OpenAI-compatible endpoint in any language which supports the OpenAI SDK.
