Smack's CEO @andymarkoff spoke on Crossing the Valley about how we build trust with end users by "opening the hood" on our physics models, bringing them into the training process and the construction of the data.

Somewhere along the way, respecting China turned into acting like they're 10 feet tall and bulletproof. They're not.

Massive industrial complex. Lots of ships. Badass drones. Long-range missiles. All real. All serious.

But a war won't look like an exercise, and and we get a vote in how it goes. It's reciprocal.

In the military we love to specialize capability right up until everyone realizes they need it. Then we distribute it everywhere until nobody is especially good at it.

Pick your model. Defend your risk.

Japan is planning unprecedented investment in hypersonic missiles and drones to counter growing threats from China and Russia.

Tokyo’s defence budget request of nearly 9 trillion Japanese yen (£43bn) demonstrates its renewed military focus under Sanae Takaichi, the prime minister

Brute strength and ignorance works pretty well when brute strength is cheap and ignorance is temporary.

Neither condition exists anymore.

This is Omega and Alpha.

Omega enables command-level decision making at the speed of war. Alpha extends that capability to the tactical edge.

I’ve spent most of my adult life focused on the defense of our nation and the men and women who serve it.

I've never been more certain that we are vibing our way through national security.

So I started writing about it.

@LarsenJensenUSA Speaking truth. Hard to see the controversy here, but I’m sure there are lots of hurt feelings.

Well done.

[Larsen Jensen @LarsenJensenUSA]

here’s the difference between combat arms military service and defense techies and vcs…

combat arms service = willingly served the united states of america to close with and destroy the enemy… knowingly risked life and limb and had buddies die in combat. gave folded flags to the wives and kids of those who didn’t come home.

tech elites = made money, but still “lost upside by working in gov defense and not tech.” want appreciation and credit. think they’re war heroes. think they killed bin laden. love to run their lips about being patriots but are actually total pussies.

Congrats to @ScribbleVC company @smackaistack on their $61M Series B to accelerate their domain-specific AI models across the Joint Force.

From specialized models to tactical hardware, this is the team deploying real-world AI to the DoW that saves lives.

Built by soldiers, for soldiers.

National security technology matters most when it strengthens deterrence and helps prevent conflict. @smackaistack’s Alpha AI stack gives front line service members decision support at the edge, even when comms are spotty at best.

We at @Felicis are proud to back @andymarkoff, @Clint_Alanis, and the team for the third time (Seed, Series A) in their Series B. Congrats!

Milestones remind me of the Marine Corps.

Shared purpose. Real stakes. Friction everywhere. A team forged through adversity.

At Smack, the mission is simple: support the warfighter at all costs.

The obstacles: acquisition timelines, bureaucracy, technological distractions, entrenched incumbents.

And obstacles are meant to be overcome.

The real value of the journey is what it reveals: who you can count on, what the team is capable of, and how high you can raise the standard next.

Milestones aren’t the mission.

They’re proof that the team is becoming capable of winning.
