This is fantastic.

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

@realEstateTrent Go Broncos!

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

@Davidstout @thewebAI @nvidia Love to see it. Let's go!! 🚀

[David Stout @Davidstout]

@thewebAI now has 2 of the top 3 RAG models on ViDoRe.

And both can run on an iPhone or your laptop.

Our smallest model (4B) scores within 0.1 nDCG of @nvidia's nemotron-colembed-vl-8b-v2.

That’s within margin of error.

Same retrieval quality.
Half the model.

For a long time, multimodal RAG looked like a scaling problem:

Bigger models
More GPUs
More data center spend

That assumption just broke.

We’re now seeing:
- frontier-level retrieval (64.48 - 63.49 nDCG)
- real multimodal understanding (documents, not just text)
- running locally

This isn’t just a leaderboard result.
It means:

- your data doesn’t need to leave your device
- latency drops to device speed
- marginal cost goes to zero
- retrieval becomes private by default

The best RAG models now fit in your pocket.
And we’re making them available.

So anyone can build, run, and own their retrieval stack locally.

What a game and what a season by @SantaClaraHoops. Crushed to have it end the way it did, but fun to see my alma mater in the tourney. Hopefully the start of many years of this! Go Broncos!

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

One big model isn't the answer. Welcome to the next era of AI, powered by @thewebAI

[webAI @thewebAI]

A New Model for Intelligence.

The next era of AI won't come from a single system in the cloud, but from a civilization of models owned by the people closest to the problem.

Incredible! Let's go Broncos!! #scu #gobroncos

@ryancavengolf Yes! Loved that course

@DarkHelmet1984 @Naisortep @BillAckman @GerberKawasaki I repeat: do a quick google search for "difference between GAAP and Tax reporting, but explain it to me like I'm five."

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

@DarkHelmet1984 @BillAckman @GerberKawasaki I'm not saying that they aren't maximizing for tax efficiency. I'm merely telling you that what you're pointing to as their taxes paid is incorrect.

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

@DarkHelmet1984 @BillAckman @GerberKawasaki Sigh. I'm telling you, as a former CPA and current CFO, that what you see in the 10K is NOT equivalent to taxes paid. Just do a quick google search for "difference between GAAP and Tax reporting, but explain it to me like I'm five."

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

@DarkHelmet1984 @BillAckman @GerberKawasaki Depreciation, stock options, and losses are just a few things that are treated differently between your GAAP financials (what you're showing) and actual tax return treatment. Not getting into deferred tax liabilities and such, but you can research all of that.

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

@DarkHelmet1984 @BillAckman @GerberKawasaki You should educate yourself before you post things like this. There's a difference between financial reporting and tax reporting, so what you're showing here isn't actually how much was paid in taxes.

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

Sash!!!! Holy cow what a shot. SCU is going to the WCC tourney, and more importantly, WE ARE DANCING!! Let's go @SantaClaraHoops!!!! 30 year drought is over. Go Broncos!!! #scu

[Andrew Zilli @ajzilli]

Excited to announce that webAI is partnering with the @USArmy on Project Aria, contributing to Team Black. AI for soldiers, on the edge, on the devices they already carry. Let's go!

[David Stout @Davidstout]

Proud to partner with the @USArmy on Project ARIA.

@thewebAI is contributing to Team Black — building a "Model Armory" that delivers custom AI to soldiers at the tactical edge, on the devices they already carry, no cloud required.

Sovereign AI isn't a talking point. It's a mission requirement.
