@spisallyouneed Likewise, Sam. Excited for what’s ahead. 🚀

[Mikael Berner @mikaelberner]

I've known @spisallyouneed for years and have enjoyed seeing him iterate on a huge problem. Sam and team built Maluuba from a Waterloo classroom project into one of Microsoft's most important AI acquisitions; now they are going after something way harder. Enterprise world models to help run the Enterprise! Second-time founder with so much drive and energy to get this done; they have the determination to figure this out. So thrilled to be a part of the journey. Welcome to the world Morpheus!

[Sam Pasupalak @spisallyouneed]

Around 15 years ago, Kaheer Suleman and I started Maluuba with the vision of building Universal Turing Machines. Back then, we were one of the pioneer research labs building foundational modules of deep learning and Reinforcement learning with Turing award winners @Yoshua_Bengio and @RichardSSutton. There was no AI hype then, as there is now. Those were the good old days of doing pure scientific research unlike the n+1 research that we see today. Maluuba was later acquired by Microsoft and became @MSFTResearch Canada.

Grounded in that same mission, we're finally ready to introduce @skyfallai to the world after a lot of experimentation in stealth over the last year. We're a frontier neo lab building the first Autonomous Enterprise by moving beyond the current LLM paradigm.

For the last 5 years, the foundational model market has relied on a single paradigm: scaling laws for LLMs - more data, more compute, bigger models. However, the real world is messy and much more complicated. In order to achieve our long term vision, the next generation of AI models requires a different approach. Skyfall is solving the hardest open problems in frontier AI: long-horizon planning, data inefficiency, and brittle performance in dynamic real-world environments.

To achieve the team's vision of a completely autonomous enterprise, the team is developing a next-generation frontier model (Enterprise World Models) using Continual Learning and World Modeling. Enterprise World Models can simulate the multi-layered consequences of strategic business actions. Our approach unlocks a new category in the foundation model market. To prove it, we're introducing Morpheus, a Continual Reinforcement Learning platform for AI researchers.

I'm building this company with the people I trust the most: my longtime friend Kaheer Suleman (prev. Co-Founder of Maluuba) and my brother @omgiamgod (prev. YC founder). Sumit and Kaheer are the first principles thinkers I can trust to go to the end of the world with to achieve the mission impossible together. Together with a stellar team of 25 researchers and engineers, we're pushing a new frontier in AI forward.

We unpacked our long term vision in today’s Forbes feature 🔗- read it to see what we’re building toward. Thank you so much Victor Dey for the interview.

To achieve our goal of enterprise world models, we are soliciting bids to acquire small SaaS startups (up to $1M) and fully automate them. If you’re interested, submit your business here: https://t.co/w8ayopZFLH

Finally, thank you to our investors and advisors for believing in our vision since day one: @Fidelity , @sk121 (@touringcapital), @karam_n and @chrisarsenault (@inovia), @morgan_blumberg (@M13Company ), @stephpalmeri (@NextViewVC ), and @michaellitt and @mmccauley (@GarageCapital ), @jennydhe, @fchollet @NaveenGRao and so many others for supporting us in this journey.

1/ Occasionally you encounter startups that are an obvious yes: excited for @w_conviction to be partnering w/@sarahrnagy @ai_seek on their $7.5M seed

🎯 an obvious application of AI code generation, relentless product execution, customer obsession, passionate users& business ROI

[Mikael Berner @mikaelberner]

@sarahrnagy @BatteryVentures @w_conviction @saranormous Congratulations! Incredible execution in just a year!

[Sarah Nagy @sarahrnagy]

A year ago, starting Seek AI, I was a data scientist and solo founder hacking together a prototype in my Manhattan apartment. Today, my company Seek AI has raised $7.5m from some brilliant investors, including @BatteryVentures and @w_conviction @saranormous.

You could start writing today, write a full-length novel every two weeks for the next 25 years straight, and you still would have published less than Isaac Asimov did.

Debug yourself: Optimism is more CPU. Focus is higher clock speed. Envy is a memory leak. Hurt is a segfault. Pessimism is a CPU core pegged at 100%.

@riddley04993867 Ridley, sorry to hear that but of course we understand. To confirm, our engineers longer read the sample of de-identified messages for creating new AI features. We had shared that update with the WSJ but they decided not to include that in their story.

Happy Monday! While you were taking it easy this weekend, your inbox was busy getting full.

Media took Trump literally, but not seriously. His supporters take him seriously, not literally. - Peter Thiel's smart observation.
