“don’t train your own model” is common ai advice. it's wrong. your token bill's the proof.

today, we’re excited to launch castform into open preview. castform is the easiest way for you to train your own model, on your own data.

open-weights models are performant and much cheaper. when trained on your task & proprietary data, they beat closed models. the thing standing between you and that was weeks of plumbing & years of ml expertise.

with castform, model training is as simple as prompt engineering. @castformai

bring your agent traces or raw corpora. castform turns it into training data, picks the right algorithmic recipes, manages gpus, and gives you an ide to watch and chat with your model as it learns.

see what you can build with castform👇

We built the world's largest cargo drone @poseidonaero

[Thomas Keith @iwasnevrhere_]

Once the neural-override hardware got small enough, and once the control waveforms became predictable, every military bloc was going to pivot into biomechanical platforms. Roaches, beetles, bees, dragonflies, they’re cheap, stealthy, regenerating carriers with built-in navigation and energy efficiency no drone can match.

This is going to become a standard layer in recon, infiltration, disaster assessment, and even battlefield EW

Last week the U.S. Army announced they will buy 1 million drones over the next two years- today Neros is announcing our selection for the Army’s Purpose Built Attritable System (PBAS) program and a $75M series B fundraise led by Sequoia Capital.

1/ When developing and deploying AI applications for DoD + IC customers, what do model developers need to take into account? @max_dauber and I break this down in our newest blog post 👉 https://t.co/yIvGTfWyrz

Has anyone made a volumetric topology optimizer that lets you print variable-density parts?

[Cerebral Valley @cerebral_valley]

🚀 We're excited to announce our Silicon Valley National Security Hackathon in San Francisco on May 4th-5th at @SHACK15sf!

In collaboration with @ShieldCapVC, @anduriltech, @foundersfund, @IqtLabs, @VannevarLabs, @StanfordGKC and Stanford's Defense Tech Club.

Two days of hacking, and participation from top NatSec officials and industry pioneers.

@divalbanerjee @KevZag Underwater Liquid Metal fdm???

[Gleb @glebchuck]

@divalbanerjee @KevZag Very smart imo, why deal with finicky wire or powder when you can just melt a giant pot of metal and drip it out?

[Gleb @glebchuck]

Incredible achievement

[Davide Radaelli @daviderady]

Bet you’ve never seen an actuator that looks like this!

Just assembled the actuator and ready to run some tests.
