boomer VCs - you have been put on probation
be good frontier technology ecosystem stewards
or else your checkbooks will be taken away
all your LPs call me for references
the next generation is watching your every move
today, @OpenRouter is joining @stripe
this is good for frontier alignment and ecosystem security
you can read why, here: https://t.co/s2oycbulw9
thank you @alexatallah@cclark and team for your stewardship - here's to all the scaling ahead of us

Today, we're sharing that River AI has raised $1.1 billion, led by @generalcatalyst and @amppublic with strategic investment from @nvidia and @AMD. Additional investors include @ycombinator and @Temasek.
We imagine a future where your AI works entirely for you and deeply aligns with your values. Compared to the corporate chatbots of today, it will feel completely different: responsible, curious, and truly yours. Most importantly, you'll own everything: the hardware it runs on, the data it learns from, and the intelligence itself.
Our training API is already live and powering incredible work today. This new funding accelerates our push to bring the full personal AI stack to life.

FLUX 3 Video is here.
Serious, fun, creative, real, cinematic, whatever you need it to be.
Native audio, Text to Video, Image to Video with multiple frames, video continuation, dialogue in multiple languages.
Comes with Draft mode so you can explore ideas fast at a fraction of the cost.
Up to 20 seconds and 1080p native.
Available in the API or in your favorite tool. 2K, 4K, and Open Weights coming soon.
AMP PBC Founder @AnjneyMidha says the massive amount of AI compute being wasted in the U.S. is a national security crisis:
“Every dollar of long-term lease that an AI lab takes today, you lose about 30–40% of FLOPs in just bad scheduling. The nodes are just straight-up not allocated.”
“Then within the chip, you only have like 15% of the chip being utilized. That’s called MFU, model FLOP utilization, because the chip is waiting around for some other process to complete: storage, memory, networking, or some other chip to hand it off.”
“If you compound those two things, of every dollar, only 15% of FLOPs are actually being utilized. That 85%? That’s a national security crisis, because that’s what’s keeping us from staying at the frontier.”
“Am I building up more supply? But also, are we utilizing the existing capacity to get the maximum output possible? Both those things are what’s going to keep us at the frontier.”
Introducing FLUX 3.
One multi-modal model for Image, Video, Audio and Action-Prediction. Creations are truer to life in every kind of style.
FLUX 3 Video is now available in early access (link below).
Jointly trained in one unified architecture, our model can be extended to predict actions for robotics. See our work with mimic and Audi in the thread.
fascinating to watch the Black Forest Labs team casually automate audi's industrial manufacturing operations with their video models

This statement forces the reader to wade through 70 words of corporate feelings before answering some very basic questions… which products and / or product lines are associated with the outbreak? And, has the issue been resolved?
Instead, they led with performative corpo tears about the reputational damage associated with giving the whole country the runs.
Take the L on this one TF. You’ll come out of it (may be awhile but reputations can be rebuilt).
writing an effective cold email requires such an immense amount of cognitive empathy. It's a muscle that needs to be trained... read fiction, travel, volunteer, coach kids. You'll come to understand people on a much deeper level.
big congrats to @MTiuca and team on publishing their gqm paper today
gqm increased google's utilization from <75% to 93%+ node occupancy - an insane reduction in compute wastage at scale
a must-read for all frontier systems ppl
