Over 1 billion PDFs are created every day, but your agents still can’t read them reliably.

Today we’re releasing Parse 2.0, the most accurate document parsing API in the world.

Extend already processes millions of pages daily for leading AI teams like Brex, Mercury, Opendoor, Flatiron Health, and hundreds of others. Now, its even better.

Parse 2.0 is SOTA quality on RealDoc-Bench, our open source benchmark that measures agent success rate on real world docs that agents actually encounter in production.

We trained Parse 2.0 on 1M+ pages of the hardest documents seen in production. Here’s how it stacks up:

- #1 in healthcare, real estate, logistics, and financial services
- 95.7% agent Q&A accuracy on 581 docs (next best: 92%)
- 0.847 F1 on layout (next best: 0.759)

Give it a try today and build production-ready document agents with Extend.

This is the point where AlphaSense hits escape velocity.

After a massive effort iterating, a few weeks ago we quietly launched fully AI-hosted Expert Calls. Feedback has been incredible.

AlphaSense created a self-reinforcing flywheel where context from our system feeds a smarter AI-host. You’ll be amazed at the industry context, follow up questions etc - that come from having the context of all the prior calls synthesized by our Deep Research.

A few years ago AlphaSense acquired an early but exciting business called Stream. They had a built in flywheel of buyside analysts hosting calls with experts – in exchange for charging only cost for the call, the call was transcribed, reviewed by a professional compliance team, and published in a library. This content set truly grew like wildfire – with ARR up >20x since acquisition.

Then, a year ago we acquired Tegus – the leader / gold standard in the space. >50% of the midas list hosts their calls on Tegus. I am actually continually shocked at the caliber of investors hosting calls.

All of a sudden AlphaSense + Tegus grew to a library >200k, on pace to hit 9k / month shortly.

Then came AI – LLMs have flipped from dumb to smart and can now easily make sense of the library. That then becomes a smarter set of tokens to feed in to the system → which then leads to better calls (by both clients and AI) → which leads to better information in the platform —> which leads to better context …

Have no fear – the AI led calls will be separately labeled and investor led will continue to grow rapidly (just like Twitter – some people love the game [100x more love consuming]). But our search system essentially has the mind of the market and can now automatically fill the gaps.

We’re in Alpha testing on externalizing the system to let clients host their own AI-led Expert Calls – reach out if you’d like to test.

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

Reliable quantum computing requires progress across the full stack, from error correction to hardware.

With new 4D codes reducing error rates 1,000x, and our co-designed quantum system with @Atom_Computing, we’re bringing utility-scale quantum closer than ever.

Remote Agent is live in VS Code (v0.472.1).

Early users are already shipping while they sleep. One dev launched 3 agents before logging off - woke up to a PR, docs, and a fixed flaky test.

We’re celebrating wins like that by giving 5 devs 4 months of Augment Max ($1K in value each).

RT + reply with your worst backlog task. Every 100 RTs = one more winner

Very excited to announce Capsule’s $12M Series A 🚀

We started @MadeWithCapsule with a simple belief: video storytelling should be as easy and scalable as creating a presentation in PowerPoint or a design in Canva.

Not just for creatives — but for all teams in an organization who need to communicate: marketing, comms, success, sales, and media teams.

In the past year, Capsule has been adopted by some of the world’s most forward-thinking companies—including @HubSpot @Instacart @SBG and @ServiceNow.

This funding helps us double down in two big areas:

1️⃣Product — more real-time collaboration tools, smarter AI features to speed up workflows, and easier ways to manage motion design systems within Capsule.

2️⃣Growing the team — we’re hiring across sales, marketing, product, and engineering. Check out open roles at capsule dot video / jobs

To our customers, investors, and early believers—thank you.

This round is led by our partners at Innovation Endeavors (@iendeavors), with participation from @HubSpot Ventures and angel investors including Emery Wells (Founder & CEO, Frame, @emerywells ), François Dufour (CMO, Augment & Twilio, @frfrdufour), Karim Atiyeh (Co-founder, Ramp, @karimatiyeh), Gil Lara (Co-founder, Sprout Social, @gilbertlara), Laura Jones (CMO, Instacart, @laurajonesSF), Robert Paige
(CD, Instacart) along with our existing backers at Swift Ventures (@bjwilson34), Human Ventures (@Human_Ventures), and Bloomberg Beta (@BloombergBeta).

We’re also thrilled to welcome two new members to our board: Davis Treybig (@TreybigDavis), partner at Innovation Endeavors, and Brett Wilson (@bjwilson34), general partner at Swift Ventures and founder of TubeMogul.

In the span of a year, ‘The Economist’ went from declaring Israel too powerless (“Israel Alone”) to declaring Israel too powerful (Israel’s hubris).

Hubris has been the downfall not of Israel but of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Islamic Republic. The axis of terror has been built on a hubristic house of cards that has come crashing down.

[Siqi Chen @blader]

this is a long read, but i had some time to think over dinner and wanted to share a few thoughts and provide a plan forward:

0. i’ve had a lot of very memorable days on the internet over the past 30 years, but this one tops them all. my wife yi and i are unbelievably grateful to the SOL community. as a reminder - 100% of every penny we've made from this, across every kitkat/memecoin, including LP fees will be going directly to rare disease research (minus any tax obligations).

i will work on a way to verify this commitment transparently with the community in the form of donation receipts. thankfully the chain is already publicly auditable.

1. a lot people seem very upset that early traders made a lot of money off of $MIRA. i don't get this at all. they made a good investment early, and got rewarded for it. good on them.

when we originally started our gofundme, we were hoping to contribute maybe $2-300K or so beyond what we donated early this year to hankinson lab for christmas.

now, even if we don't sell a single token more, we're going to send them at least $1M this christmas. that's INCREDIBLE - and it makes such a huge difference. the reality is if those early people didn't make these moves, the lab would be worse off. providing more funding for research is the only thing that matters to me here, full stop.

how much degens make or lose money in the pvp trenches of pump is not something that is any of my business. if you made a lot of money, i'm genuinely happy for you - but please consider donating some of your profits to hankinson lab., if you lost a lot of money, i’m very sorry - but magic internet money is magic internet money.

2. at least a few crazies in mentions think that i was somehow on the “inside” and this entire thing has been some kind of conspiracy - if you're one of them, i just don’t know what to tell you.

i have a day job and it is not degening magic internet money. i run a company funded by a16z called https://t.co/H4cYVauj1h, and we work on non-crypto finance software for cfos. nowdays, by night i do deep research into craniopharyngiomas and related brain tumors. i literally didn’t have a personal SOL address until yesterday.

crypto wasn’t even a payment option outside of gofundme until folks asked me for one, and when i gave them one it was my ENS. the idea that i would have the time and even know how to do something like this is wildly unbelievable.

3. i am not elon - between running a growing startup, dealing with my daughter’s medical condition, and other obligations, i simply don’t have the bandwidth to manage a crypto anything. so my constraints on a path forward are:

1) to maximize support to rare disease research by providing predictability / trust
2) to do so in the most transparent way possible that helps me sleep well at night
3) to do it in a way that doesn’t take very much of my time to manage.

so here’s the plan: starting in about 12 hours, i will be liquidating $1,000 worth of $MIRA every 10 minutes, perpetually. no more and no less than that. if i change this schedule, i commit to announcing it 24 hours in advance.

if you want to rug it to $0, go for it - at the end of the day we set out to raise $200K and we will end up with at least $1M towards rare disease research.

no matter what, this has been a win for the world. but if it moons, then hankinson lab will get the SOL’s community support for much longer, and that really makes a big difference.

so that’s it! hope that's all pretty simple and reasonable.

yi, mira and i are so unbelievably grateful to you all - each and every one of you. christmas magic was made real this year thanks to all of you. forever grateful.

[Siqi Chen @blader]

in just 3 hours, we are at $75K of our $100K goal. 🥹

yi and are in tears.

we are so grateful to all of you. we decided to personally match every dollar past that, up to $100K.

which means if we get to $200K, hankinson lab will receive at least $300K.

Day 419.

It has been 419 days since Hamas terrorists abducted innocent civilians during the barbaric October 7th attack in Israel. There are over 100 still being held hostage in Gaza including SEVEN Americans. We MUST bring them home now.

@GalG_IL #AmsterdamPogrom Thank you for writing a pretty definitive and human thread on the pogrom in Amsterdam. Here is an English translation of your Hebrew to make it easier for the world to read, because a lot of people need to read it. Please feel free to re-post.

One of the most gentle, ethical and moderate people I know recently flew with great excitement ("to vent") to a Maccabi game in Amsterdam with his father and younger brother. What he went through cannot be mediated, but unfortunately he is physically and mentally bruised, so he is not here for this and I must try my best to summarize what he told and also in relation to the multitude of plots that have run since then.
Tagging him here but please don't bother him, he needs space to breathe and recover

The Israeli team was forced to perform virtually due to security concerns-and despite the obstacles, they still outshined the competition.

Now, they're being punished simply for being Israeli.

Absolutely shameful! ACT HERE: https://t.co/72ltHZYCRt

People always say that Israel has a right to defend itself, and when they do, they object to it.

פוסט של חנוך דאום בפייסבוק.
כל מילה.

שאלה למזכיר הממשלה, שהוא האיש שאחראי על סדר היום של ישיבות הממשלה: הבנתי שהממשלה דנה אתמול במשך שעתיים בהסתה נגד נתניהו ואז החליטה שבגלל חומרת הדברים והסכנה שנשקפת לראש הממשלה, בשבוע הבא יתקיים דיון נוסף בנושא (אם כבר מדברים על אנשים בסכנה- הדיון התקיים בזמן שבו היה הפיגוע ליד צריפין, קצין שנפצע שם עדיין נלחם על חייו).
אז יש לי בקשה צנועה: את דיון ההמשך שקבעתם לשבוע הבא בנושא הסכנה שנשקפת לראש הממשלה תעשו רק שעה במקום שעתיים, ובשעה השניה יתפנה לכם זמן לעסוק, במקום בנתניהו, בכמה דברים שיצא לי לפגוש בהם היום: הנושא הראשון שאני מציע לשעה שתתפנה זה ילדים שנותרו בלי הורים במלחמה הזו. הייתי היום בניחום אבלים אצל משפחת ברנס המקסימה (שאלה לחברי הממשלה: מישהו מכם ביקר אצלם במקרה?), ופגשתי ילדים גיבורים ומרגשים שהוריהם נרצחו מרקטה בזמן שנסעו במדינתם הריבונית. כמוהם למרבה הזוועה בשנה האחרונה יש עשרות. תבין, כבוד מזכיר הממשלה, במשמרת שלכם הפכו ילדים בישראל ליתומים מאב ומאם בכמות גבוהה יותר משהיו מקום המדינה. וזה דורש היערכות מיוחדת- האם תוכל לקבוע לזה זמן בסדר היום, כדי שהשרים יבחנו דרכים להקל על הילדים האלה שעברו שואה?
הנושא השני זה קטועים. חזרתי עכשיו מארוע מיוחד של קטועים מהמלחמה. עשרות לוחמים שאיבדו יד או רגל, לפעמים יותר. ישראלים שהשאירו חלק מגופם בשדה הקרב. ותאמינו או לא, אבל יש הרבה מה להתקדם גם בטיפול בהם. אגף השיקום עושה עבודת קןדש, אבל המדינה יכולה וצריכה לתת להם כלים לעשות עוד. אז מה דעתך, בזמן שפינינו מהדיון (החשוב) על ההסתה, להקדיש רבע שעה גם לטיפול בנושא הזה? תבקשו סקירה על נושא הפרוטזות, נסו להבין את הדילמות והמחירים, כדי שאדם שאיבד את ידו או רגלו במלחמה יקבל את הפרוטזה הטובה ביותר, ולא חלילה יצטרך להתפשר על משהו שעולה פחות.
נושא שלישי זה מצבם הנפשי של המפונים. פגשתי בבוקר אדם מבוגר בפיצוציה. יושב עצוב בפנים חתומות. המוכר אמר לי בשקט- זה בא כל יום, שותה אספרסו ויושב לבד כמה שעות. קשרתי איתו שיחה. הוא מפונה מהצפון. עבר עם אשתו לחדר מלון של 25 מטר ומרגיש שם כמו חיה בכלוב. היה אדם ביתי ומלא חיים אבל הוא מרגיש שהוא שוקע, דג מחוץ למים, תשעה חודשים ואין אור בקצה. לא יכול לארח את המשפחה, אין לו את הגינה שאהב לטפח. הוא התחיל ללכת לפסיכיאטר בעצת משפחתו. אז מה דעתך, אדוני מזכיר הממשלה, להקדיש רבע שעה גם לזה? תן רבע שעה למצב הנפשי של העקורים. פיניתם חבל ארץ, זרקתם אזרחים לחדרי מלונות- לא שווה לבדוק מה קורה איתם?
בכנות יש לי עוד המון רעיונות לנושאים שמגיעים אלי ולדעתי שווה שתדברו עליהם, אבל הבטחתי להשאיר לכם בכל זאת שעה לדון (בשבוע השני ברציפות) גם בסכנה הנשקפת לראש הממשלה בעקבות ההסתה, אז אסתפק בזה. תודה על ההקשבה.
