Generalist CEO @peteflorence says robotics models are in a transition period similar to the step change between GPT-2 and GPT-3.

They're "starting to cross over into levels of performance where these things are commercially viable for a number of different applications."

"We think this is a crossover point where we have a general model starting to be able to hit levels of reliability, speed, and improvisational intelligence where we can start to get these things out there."

"Very much like — you take a GPT-2-level model, you scale it to a GPT-3-level model, and certain types of commercial applications start to become viable."

Crypto holds the key to quantum resilience, yet this is often overlooked. At @plcapital we've made several bets in the space (denoted by an *) particularly around FHE. We consider FHE a bet on quantum resilience 🧵

At Protocol VC we've invested in 16 DePIN projects & the @protocollabs network has incubated several more in addition to launching @Filecoin as a DePIN network. We believe DePIN's core potential lies in its ability to decentralize contributions to projects & unlock true scale

We now have a @Gartner_inc Magic Quadrant on AI Code Assistants but...

Who's securing all that code and how?

@snyksec's Snyk Code product powered by it's own DeepCode AI just crossed the $100M ARR mark+ growing rapidly

The only way to keep up with AI-generated code is with AI + 🔑 is to not only find but automagically fix vulnerabilities in real time

And there's more - it's all powered by a massive data moat of security vulnerabilities + an engine which utilizes MULTIPLE AI models, trained on security-specific data + all curated by top security researchers

Enterprises are buying - 40% YoY growth but in last qtr accounted for 70% of net new additions 🤯

Huge congrats @edsim for placing on the Midas Seed list for a third year

As @_IainMartin @Forbes wrote for his profile:

"As investors jockey to write earlier checks, Sim has long championed an approach he calls “inception investing” working with founders with little more than an idea to shape a business."

“If you have a founder with a crazy vision that might be two or three years ahead of what’s available today, that's when the magic happens,” says Sim, who has backed the likes of @snyksec @Superhuman @bigidsecure @kustomer

🙏🏼 to the amazing enterprise founders who have chosen @Boldstartvc as inception partners
