Announcing the next chapter: @SpindleAI has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by @Salesforce, accelerating the @Agentforce roadmap and strengthening the future of enterprise AI for millions of global users. 🤖

This is a great outcome for our team & investors. 🙏 When my cofounder Ryan and I launched Spindle in late 2021 to deliver #AI-native business analytics and scenario intelligence for the Fortune 500, no one (not even us!) fully anticipated how transformational #agents & AI-native data models like ours would be.

But with the support of…

🛠️ The smartest, most creative, and most devoted team I’ve ever had the privilege of working with

🏦 Backing from top-percentile investors like @Accel and others across Sand Hill

🧙World-class advisors like ex-@GoldmanSachs CTO Dr. Paul Walker, ex-@DeutscheBank CTO Kim Hammonds (who I miss dearly), ex-Adaptive Insights founder Rob Hull, and ex-@Sequoia partner Bob Cohn

🤖 Visionary customers, from @IBM @Apptio to @1Password and beyond

…sci-fi has become sci-fact! 🚀 Joining #Agentforce will kick Spindle AI’s journey to the next level.

I’m deeply grateful for my co-founder @RyanAtallah. Ever since we bonded in high school, he has always been not just the hardest-working leader I know, and not just the most thoughtful, but also the most loyal & trustworthy. Find a cofounder like that: their traits are echoed in the organizations they build, and the teams they invest in.

Uncountable thanks to the many dear friends, teammates, and colleagues, who have worked so hard to make this journey the privilege of a lifetime. 🙏

Most of all: a lifetime’s thanks to my wife Seda and Ryan’s wife Ashly. Without their incredible support, sacrifices, and contributions, none of this would have been possible. 🤍

My life’s mission has been machine learning that augments human cognition. With the acquisition of Spindle AI, that mission continues at Agentforce: https://t.co/dVGVcokP4g

Transformer models have dramatically changed NLP in recent years, outperforming previous techniques like LSTM in almost every way. An exception has been that they don’t scale well to large documents because they cost O(N^2) in document length. This paper offers an O(N) solution.

15. Knowledge is abundant and by itself is only rarely a competitive advantage.

But you can create an edge by synthesizing knowledge to create an understanding that is unique to you.

The importance of transfer learning research like @seb_ruder’s in our space cannot be understated. #ml

[Carson Kahn @CarsonKahn]

Remarkable that someone so influential in the space is *just now* defending his thesis. Great things ahead for Seb — congrats @seb_ruder!
