VP Engineering @elise_ai // technology, AI, & the occasional soccer take

weird to me open source vs frontier is being framed as a “this or that”. the market for intelligence is uncapped and I think it will just end up being both

tons of momentum behind open source post-training. Harvey tenant, AT&T (lol), etc. but at the same time labs still ripping and don’t seem to be slowing down.

as a dev definitely finding strong use cases for both ever day. I guess people just can’t fathom the size of market

[Ryan @ryanstp_]

fundraising is never the end goal, but can't lie it feels good to get validation on all the great work the team is doing.

it's been an amazing 5 yrs turning advances in ai into real world outcomes. even more excited about what we're building next.

always hiring. dm if interested

[Minna Song @minnasong]

Intelligence is getting cheaper. Life should too.

Today @elise_ai is announcing a $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation, led by @a16z and @bessemer.

I wrote about how we’re changing the economics of housing, and the work in front of all of us: building AI for the hardest, most important industries in the world.

LFB.

@katieontweeeter @softheavens messed up. you know I’m working on this

[Alex Immerman @aleximm]

EliseAI has one of the most impressive growth profiles we've seen across vertical AI, in its scale, pace, and durability. Elise has become synonymous with AI in property management.

We led their round a year ago, growth has since accelerated, and we're thrilled to double down. Incredible work @minnasong and team!

@d_gilz can't take jeremy strong or the dialogue seriously in this role

[Elise Labs @elise_ai]

We’ve been working with @cartesia to improve multilingual voice experiences for renters.

EliseAI serves millions of housing units, including 500K+ affordable units where people navigate complex topics like eligibility and income verification.

Delivering a high-quality experience in each person's preferred language makes a real difference.

@paularambles meat proxies need chargers too

[Ryan @ryanstp_]

@onjas_6 strong agree. just feels so much better & fun to use

[Ryan @ryanstp_]

late to the party, but really liked @johnschulman2's take on “taste” here. judgment about what will work in the long run.

a word we throw around a lot, but one i struggle to explain. simple, but one of the better definitions i’ve heard.

It's been awesome working closely with @cartesia on this!

@elise_ai works with over half a million affordable housing units, and it makes a HUGE difference to be able to offer a voice experience in their native language when navigating complex topics like housing eligibility and income verification.

Just scratching the surfaces of new experiences that voice agents can unlock 📈

@gott_zac @bcherny i can enable it in the session by telling claude to do it for me, but i can't do it myself or default. idk its super weird. adds friction to every single interaction. drives me nuts

[Ryan @ryanstp_]

@bcherny why is the agent sdk different than the CLI in annoying ways? used to the / from the terminal & it just behaves differently in the sdk. so used to terminal and trying to make the jump for the browser and other things & the config feels forked and more limited

[Ryan @ryanstp_]

@gott_zac @bcherny idk i must be blind? can't find it. was liking codex and want to give the sdk a go but i feel dumb using it lol

[Ryan @ryanstp_]

@natashaghoskins what happens when you drop out of college after 1 yr. didn't get bullied enough

[Ryan @ryanstp_]

@zunguzungu_III haha the weekly swings of “it’s all over” to “we’re so back” starting to take toll on me!

[Ryan @ryanstp_]

anthropic lost me for a sec there....but man 5.5 crannnkkss

[Nat McAleese @__nmca__]

Opus 5.5 is way, way, way better than Opus 5. Sorry about that model, please try this one.

[Ryan @ryanstp_]
