🎺🚀🔥Launching Infinity!!🔥🚀🎺 In the spirit of the invention of the mathematics behind calculus; in the spirit of the creative instinct that infinite knowledge can be unleashed by AI; in the spirit of bursting the impossible into reality we're launching Infinity. With millions in revenue and raising $15M at $100M, we have achieved ignition for new SRAM chips like the d-Matrix Corsair. infinity.inc/research/dmatri… Through the automation of AI research replication, we have AI research runs that can surpass vLLM with end-to-end generated inference stacks. infinity.inc/research/qwen3-… We stand prepared to launch the stack of every NVIDIA competitor into parity with CUDA through our agentic profilers, reverse-time debuggers, AI compilers & chip simulators. staging.infinity.inc/researc… In July 2026, we are the vanguard 🫡of the advent of AI systems which themselves enable, optimize and invent generation after generation of new AI systems. A resplendent future awaits 👇 Eternal gratitude to our wise investors: Touring Capital & @sk121, @Principal_VC, Epic, ManaVC, @BuildInception, @wilsonsonsini, many more. Hail to our beloved angels @IvanVendrov, @dmdohan, @realSharonZhou, @marksaroufim, @TheKanter, @jasonzhao, @redsh and many more. Huge congrats to the greatest team members, @IshanPaidhungat, @LinkBechtel, and @sravyatirukkov!! Techcrunch article: techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/in… xitter.cf/TechCrunch/status/2079…

Today Reactor is coming out of stealth. We’ve raised $59M in Seed and Series A funding, led by @lightspeedvp, with participation from @AmplifyPartners, @wndrco, @Sky9Capital, and @FPVventures. Reactor is the platform for building in the World Model era: the infrastructure that lets developers build with them at global scale for the first time. Stream from a frontier World Model to your app, in real time, all in under 10 lines of code. World Models represent the next major shift in AI: pixels, audio and actions are generated on the fly, in real-time, in response to user inputs, and to the environment. Every time computing has made a shift from passive to interactive, entire industries appeared that didn't exist before. We're standing in front of such moment again. Over the last 6 months, we’ve assembled an all-star team with alumni from Apple, Meta, Google, Luma AI, Netflix, and Replicate. We're already partnering with some of the biggest names and labs in the world, and hundreds of developers are already building on Reactor. The World Model era starts now.

We're taking our first step towards democratizing World Models, so that everyone can build on this incredible technology. We have more to share, but enjoy a glimpse of what's to come, today. Try it here: reactor.inc

Document ingestion & Gemini 2.0 caused a lot of buzz this week. As builders in this space, here's our take: Data ingestion is a multistep pipeline, and maintaining confidence from LLM nondeterministic outputs over millions of pages is a problem. (1/7)

I have come to Israel with a simple message: You are not alone. As long as the United States stands – and we will stand forever – you will not be alone.

Her: how often do you think about the Roman Empire? Me:
Today we are announcing a major breakthrough in the Vesuvius Challenge: we have read the first word from an unopened Herculaneum scroll. The word is "πορφυρας" which means "purple dye" or "cloths of purple." scrollprize.org/firstletters Congratulations to 21yo computer science student @LukeFarritor who is the first person to see this handwriting in nearly 2000 years. He has won the $40,000 First Letters prize for this world-historical achievement. We are also awarding a $10,000 First Ink prize to @CJHandmer who was the first person to see ink and multiple letters within an unopened scroll. His work was the basis of Luke's ML model. And @Youssef_M_Nader has won a $10,000 second-place First Letters prize for producing the clearest and most comprehensive images from inside a scroll yet. This has been the dream of many people since the scrolls were first discovered in the 1750s. It is also the result of 20 years of work from Dr. Brent Seales and his team at EduceLab, whose years of dedicated work have made this last mile possible. The $700,000 Vesuvius Challenge Grand Prize is now in sight. Who will claim it?
