Today, we're proud to announce the future home of Port Alpha: Brownsville, Texas.

Our next-generation shipyard moves from vision to reality through a planned investment of more than $3 billion to establish one of the world's most advanced shipyards, built for software-defined shipbuilding and autonomous maritime systems.

Port Alpha is expected to generate more than $160 billion in regional economic impact for Cameron County and $264.5 billion for the State of Texas, while creating up to 10,000 direct jobs — which makes it one of the largest economic development projects in modern Texas history.

More than a shipyard, Port Alpha represents a new model for American shipbuilding — combining advanced manufacturing, software-defined production, and autonomy at unprecedented scale. We're proud to continue building in Texas.

@SamCRichard There are a number of capabilities we do natively, but we integrate with other platforms to extend capabilities deeper into certain workflows. Open to discussing this more with you/ngrok if it makes sense!

[Rob Waters @robwaters_]

@boardyai Knowing the actual footprint of AI solutions and agents in use across the enterprise vs. what they thought they had. Then, tying it to the customers actual policies, for security and compliance reasons.

[Rob Waters @robwaters_]

@SamCRichard We can run a portion of our platform within the customer environment so it remains within their control. Think of a hub and spoke model. Optionally, for highly regulated customers, we can run the entire platform within their cloud/network.

[Rob Waters @robwaters_]

@boardyai Private intelligence layer first, with automation workflows optionally enabled by the customer.

[Rob Waters @robwaters_]

Hi Sam! We securely integrate with the customer environment using best practices such as APIs, webhooks, MCP, or other enterprise identity services to gain visibility. We don’t move or replicate data. We create the customer AI brain within their own cloud environment if they require.

[Mira Murati @miramurati]

Today we share the worldview behind our mission.

Human values don't average out. Local knowledge can't be centralized. The good future has many AIs, raised in different places, shaped by the people they serve, disagreeing with each other the way we do.

Introducing SensorFM, a large-scale Sensor Foundation Model that learns from 1 trillion-minutes of unlabeled wearable data drawn from five million consented participants.

SensorFM learns a single, reusable representation of sensed human physiology that transfers across cardiovascular, metabolic, sleep, and mental health, as well as lifestyle and demographic factors.
