Since launching last week, more than 230 companies and organizations from across the tech sector have signed the "Open Weights and American AI Leadership" open letter. We want to thank these partners for standing up and publicly supporting broader access to AI innovation. A special thanks to @nvidia, @a16z, and @PalantirTech for working with @Microsoft on this effort.
These signatories understand that America’s AI leadership will not depend on the success of our frontier models alone, but on our ability to build a strong, secure, and open ecosystem that diffuses AI into every sector. We look forward to continuing to work with our partners and with policymakers to build that open ecosystem in a way that benefits American businesses, empowers American workers, and strengthens the American economy.

Today we're announcing another $200M in funding at a $2.3B valuation to continue scaling the foundational layer of next-generation constellations: the satellite platform.
For most of space history, progress was measured in firsts: first satellite, first human in space, first Moon landing. Those milestones mattered. But the next era will be measured in rate: how fast countries and companies can deploy new capability, replenish what is lost, refresh technology, and expand the infrastructure they depend on.
To make that future real, the world needs constellations: many satellites working together as systems. That requires two industrial capabilities: frequent launch and rapidly manufactured satellite platforms.
Apex exists to remove the satellite production bottleneck and unlock capabilities beyond what Earthbound systems alone can achieve.
The strategy is simple, but difficult: own the world’s satellite platform category.
Learn how this latest raise helps Apex make that a reality: https://t.co/U2Fl9MgWja

AI’s next bottleneck isn’t software- it’s infrastructure. Rising compute costs and shortages in power, memory, and critical components are reshaping growth across the stack.
Last week, 1789's @RealOmeedMalik joined leaders across private markets for candid discussions on innovation, entrepreneurship, and where capital is headed next at UNLISTED.
Thank you @Official_Cantor for bringing everyone together for a successful summit centered on meaningful dialogue and big ideas.
“Everybody needs to adopt AI technology — every company, every country needs to do it. And there’s only two choices. Do you align with the United States AI stack or align with the Chinese tech stack?”

Asked about vetting companies based on their politics, @RealOmeedMalik tells @ReedAlbergotti:
"We want America to be the best country in the world, and the private sector has a role in that. I don't really care at that point who's president of the United States. I hope that these values, this idea of EIG — entrepreneurship, innovation, and growth — become universal once again."
