1200 sq ft office space for lease on Sansome, in SF’s highly desired Jackson Square. $5K per month, it’s on the first floor in our building. Can come with the office furniture if desired!

Today we’re announcing Ontology 1, our newest AI model.

Perhaps surprisingly, it’s at least 2.7x more accurate than the world’s best ecommerce search engines, and handles queries that have never been possible before.

We keep reaching for the edge of what it can do. We haven’t found it yet.

Not only that, but it learns on its own with no retraining or fine-tuning. And it’s hallucination-free.

It’s a successor architecture for search.

Learn how we built it at https://t.co/PpBG2H1AvZ, and check out the benchmarks at https://t.co/hmgAPe7ddN.

Try it at https://t.co/ABb86WDwS3.

@samhogan Impressive. Assume you mean better performance for some internal niche use-case, or do you mean it generally outperforms GPT4.1 on some broad eval(s)/metric(s)? The trend toward smaller/cheaper specialized models does seem to be playing out repeatedly.

@SebastianCaliri Is the right way to read these charts that we've been consistently prescribing children stimulants and they're continuing to take them as they age into adulthood? Or is this the result of new adult prescriptions? Alarming either way.

You've asked the wrong question. He has a confirmed diagnosis, so the overall incidence rate amongst the general population of 82 year old men is irrelevant and dramatically deflating the numbers.

"The odds that an 82-year-old male with confirmed prostate cancer with bone metastasis in May 2025 was deemed "healthy" 10 months earlier (July 2024) are approximately 15-21%."

@tamarajtran Good news: “The saving grace here, which you’ll learn if you ever become that $200,000 story, is that nobody pays those bills. If you do something luridly stupid and rack up costs, AWS and GCP will probably cut you a break. We will too. Everyone does.”

@TheTruest_Won I misspoke and accused Professor Plum of using the candlestick instead of the lead pipe last night :/ Disappointing loss to an up-and-coming 8 year old.

Anyone have an open desk in a nice office in SF, ~3-5 days per week for the next couple of months?
