Introducing Flint, @Recursive_SI’s first model: a fast local coding model built with our automated research system, the Eureka Machine.
• Best-in-class fast local coding
• Up to 2x faster than comparable models: 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, 150+ on RTX Spark
• Built from scratch in under 4 months
Private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine. Open weights available now on @huggingface, run it locally on your favorite framework or try it for free on @opencode or @pidotdev.
At this point the whole EU Inc negotiations are so lost in the details that everyone forgot the main goal: Creating a standard.
Basically, allow founders to raise quickly globally and use stock options to hire competitively.
Let’s say it quite clearly:
1) If EU Inc isn’t providing a standard it’s useless. We already got 30+ legal entities in Europe. Experienced founders use Delaware Inc already because of this.
2) If EU Inc doesn’t fix stock options Delaware Inc is still the better option.
I understand the there are complex details and people are worried about loopholes. But you can’t lose the actual goal of it because of it.
An EU Inc that doesn't provide a standard is pointless. Nobody will care about intricacies of compromises reached in political committees if the market can't use the outcome.
If you are in contact with your political leaders (prime ministers, presidents, et al) please reach out to them. Or to founders/investors in your network who might have that access.

When I saw some mathematicians complain about many conjecture being proven by AI, I couldn't help but think to myself...
I hope the medical biologists aren't going to be unhappy when AI cures most diseases.
Amazon banning agents is the first opportunity I've seen since Amazon was founded for a startup to create an Amazon competitor. People will want agents to buy stuff for them. It will be one of the main use cases. And they won't want to use some Amazon-supplied agent to do it.
Huge fan of this book! I'm learning a lot about animal intelligence vs AI.
For example: world models. In experiments, you can get rats to show regret, e.g. wishing they had taken a different path in a maze that would have led to tastier food.
Investing is seriously fun.
With our first fund, @Interface backed Exploration Company, RobCo and Lovable at seed. They’ve since become two unicorns and a decacorn.
We’re proud to back ambitious European builders and optimistic that more unicorns will emerge from the portfolio in 2027. 🇪🇺🚀
Very excited to announce Gemini 4 Argon, our new Frontier AI model, and a huge step forward across key capabilities. We’re focused on rolling it out responsibly starting with government and trusted cyber defenders through our Fairwind Program today, before wider availability soon
Introducing 6.1 Sol, near Astra intelligence at one fifth of the price of Astra and 95% cache read discount. It is an absolute workhorse.
Combined with ultrafast for 8X speeded available today for Astra and coming soon for 6.1 Sol.
Listen Labs is joining @Salesforce!
A year and a half ago we launched Listen, an AI platform for understanding customers, and it’s been a crazy ride ever since.
Today, we work with some of the largest companies in the world, including Microsoft, Anthropic, and Sweetgreen.
What started as an AI interviewer is now a full platform for understanding customers. Listen finds the right people, interviews them, analyzes what they say, and even simulates how they'll behave.
Listen’s growth quickly accelerated and while we were raising our next round, we met @Benioff.
Marc is a hero of mine. I've taken countless ideas from Behind the Cloud and watched him framemog every AI CEO on the planet. We're honored to get framemogged next.
With Salesforce, we can bring Listen to every company in the world, much faster.
To our customers, our mission remains the same.I stay CEO, @Florian stays CTO and the same team will keep building the product you rely on, now inside Salesforce AI Labs. Thank you for believing in us early.
To our team, families, and everyone who believed in us before there was much to believe in, thank you.
These years have been the most fun years of my life, and it’s still only just the beginning for Listen.
Now back to work. 🚀
congrats @itsalfredw & @florian_jue !!
lucky to have met you both during your first weeks in SF, bonding over the fact that we were the only ones left in the co-working space after 6pm
video from one of the rare nights when we actually left ...
turns out when you have too many GPUs for your own good you can do stupid stuff such as pre-training a foundation model with constrained decoding on PTX -- that is, it does not speak natural language, it's tokenizer is PTX, it's thoughts are PTX, it's all PTX 🧵
