LLMs are injective and invertible.

In our new paper, we show that different prompts always map to different embeddings, and this property can be used to recover input tokens from individual embeddings in latent space.

You must keep an eye on what’s happening in Italy! 🇮🇹

Thanks to Sifted for asking me about the 4 best Italian startups to watch that are not part of our United Ventures portfolio. My picks: Ephos, Smartness, @WavefulApp and compri. Congrats also to: Complaion , Pillar, @ZefiAI and Pack.

More mature EU ecosystems (UK, France, Germany) are cool but we are getting there. In Italy we’ve always had extraordinary talent but we lacked the ambition to build global champions. Things have been changing quickly.

We have everything:
🏛️ Prestigious universities that excel in research: Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino, Sapienza Università di Roma, Università di Pisa etc.
💰 Capital, VC funding is increasing rapidly with new funds, international top-tier VCs and established local players growing their fund sizes
🚀 Tech success cases and exits: Bending Spoons, Musixmatch, Satispay, Translated, Exein, Fiscozen and many more.

In the words of Steve Jobs: “Stay hungry, stay foolish”, because we are building the italian economy of tomorrow.

PS. See you all in Turin soon for the best European tech conference. @italiantechweek

i'm overwhelmed with the amount of opportunity there is right now

AI is reshaping everything and it breaks my brain

1/ MOBILE APPS ARE BACK because AI unlocks new use-cases. the $935b mobile app market is about to get rebuilt with ai.

2/ "ai as a service" is the new saas. wherever there were humans doing work, ai agents will be able to do 90% of that work. TLDR; that's every service business getting turned into software

3/ pricing models are flipping from seat-based to outcome-based. this shift alone could unlock $50b+ in new value capture

4/ because of cost to create software is so much lower, lots of businesses to be created that are super niche that could spit off ~$1M/rev that would have costed millions to build years ago.

we’ve never had all of these shifts land at the same time. it feels like every corner of the economy is cracking open for founders.

and to put a CHERRY on it...

i cant remember an era where so much was changing and it was so possible to pull off the ideas in your head

i don’t know about you, but it feels like one of the GREATEST times in history to be a founder.

Is Mistral still on time?

It is finalizing a €2B raise at €12B valuation just after $13B Anthropic's announcement.

The LLM and AI race keeps moving forward.

Revolut is now valued $75B.

This is still only the beginning.

People are starting to use it as their first bank account = they receive their wages there = high trust.

It is now worth more than a lot of historical banks.

@OpenAI is paying $393K for a Content Strategy.

Is AI bad at generating content? No, it is too perfect.

People still connect more with human writing, typos and mistakes included.

Mobile engagement (minutes / user / day) for the top five general AI products in the U.S. ⬇️

ChatGPT is in the lead at 18 minutes of daily time, followed by Claude (15 min) and Grok (13 min).

Gemini ranks at the bottom at nearly a third of ChatGPT's time (7 min).
