I’m so incredibly proud of what we are building at @arcee_ai . It’s a truly special place. We are only getting started though.

We’ve been quiet for a while, but we haven’t been idle. I can’t wait to share more about what we have been grinding on for the past ~6 months.

I won’t spoil anything, but you can get some idea from this announcement.

[Arcee.ai @arcee_ai]

Today, we are announcing our Series B funding round, valuing the company at more than $1B.

This round accelerates our next-gen Trinity models across diverse infrastructure, expands our work with the DOE and national labs on Genesis-Science-1, and enables us to build the platform teams need to build, evaluate, deploy, and operate open models in production.

We are grateful to our team, partners, open-source community, and investors.

Led by @Vista_Equity, Cambium Capital, and @emergencecap, with participation from AI10 Ventures, @Hitachi, IAG, @M12vc, @p7ventures, and @Wipro.

Unfortunately, with access to an abliterated DeepSeek V4.1 model, there is little value to KYC holding back the frontier models now for cyber.

In fact, making it hard to secure systems w extra friction in American Enterprise is hurtful to national security.

[Daniel Dugas @DanielDugas14]

Soon this will be a question in MLE interviews and everyone will have to pretend like they would obviously have solved this bug from first principles

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

So at this point I just have to assume all software has basically been a wet paper bag of security for years.

government agencies must be so pissed at all their exploits getting exposed.

Reporting a problem in the company's shared Agent memory files repo

Call that a skill issue

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

I don't have a problem with Corweave buying wandb, but I'm never going to call it Forge just like I'm never calling this place https://t.co/qOZErOU6nQ

"open world football game" what the fuck do you mean what the fuck are we doing

@kalomaze the one after Caffe

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

I bet new grads I'll be interviewing before long won't even know what Tensorflow is. I had to explain to one of the younger people on my team yesterday what Caffe2 was 🙃

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

People I work with have called me a “boomer” because I used tensorflow at the beginning of my PhD

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

@zstcsz can you link it 🙏

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

Which lab has the best model tech reports these days? What sets them apart?

[JT @jiratickets]

the internet didn’t implode so now I still have to go to work. thanks for nothing

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

@HououinTyouma The poor engineering students do

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

@cthorrez That being true doesn’t make me feel less old.

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

@xeophon @_vatsadev Or you start a heavy drinker and open up the data. Hard to say.

[davinci @leothecurious]

beggin @arcee_ai to drop a nemotron-3.5-super-shaped coding agent RL-ed to death inside prime-agent. just a little something for the gpu poor out there.

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

Yes, but the better question is why. Is it good and a product of squeezing our performance or an unintended artifact of some training stage.

[Thomas Hikaru Clark @thomashikaru]

Our hypothesis: LLMs have a pressure for information density, leading to compressed language, novel ngrams, and a preference for short alternatives in linguistic alternations, even when this is not humanlike - humans have a pressure for successful communication with other humans

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

@leothecurious @arcee_ai

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

@ConjecTech Depends on if those H100s are under contract

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

a year later and I think they may be still running for 20 years the way GPU rental prices are going.

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

So in like 5 ish years ... what is going to happen to all the H100s ... landfill?

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

@AllanatrixQ @DimitrisPapail I’m listening

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

It would take like 30 minutes to explain why I'm getting images sent to me at work on slack, but it is pretty sick.

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

@stochasticchasm @osoleve Well @stochasticchasm ? What are the bangers?

[Cody Blakeney @code_star]

I mean who isn’t these days

[dizzee @diz__zee]

lmao john schulman just basically blurts out that thinking machines is working on a continual learning model
