1/It’s always bothered me how painful it is to prep for a fundraise. @emergencecap startups raised $2B+ in last few years and we reinvented the wheel each time: investor list, pitch deck, model. No mas! Proud to share our playbook of fundraising templates! https://t.co/EfEuQr5yuB

@fluorane @appliedcompute @trajectorylabs @EngramLab Honestly speaks more to Harvey’s need to solve their closed model reliance problem than anything else

[Andrew M. Dai @AndrewDai]

After almost 12 years in Brain/DeepMind, I’ve finally decided to take the leap. My cofounders: @yinfeiy, Seth and I have kicked-off @ElorianAI. The first multimodal reasoning lab founded and led by former LLM pretraining, data and multimodal leads. https://t.co/XHcEtvl9F9 (1/n)

@melvynx Arcee Trinity Large Thinking…96% cheaper than Opus 4.6 and almost scored as high on Kilo’s eval for tool calling.

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@ClementDelangue @NaveenGRao Compute demand growing exponentially and supply is coming online linearly. The future for consumers is hybrid of on-device and open source like @arcee_ai

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@garrytan Garry, the team at @arcee_ai can get you set up with their API for Trinity Reasoning Large. Benchmarked second highest for OpenClaw and is 96% cheaper than Opus 4.6. Lmk if you want to try it! @latkins

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@bcherny Perfect time to support US open source models like Arcee Trinity Large Reasoning. 96% cheaper than Opus 4.6 and excels at OpenClaw

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@arcee_ai @kilocode @openclaw @pinchbench Let’s gooo 💪

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@arcee_ai Congrats squad! Thrilled this is out in the world!

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@morganlinton And Arcee’s reasoning model drops next week 👀

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@latkins @YouJiacheng 😂

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

So proud of @latkins and @arcee_ai team for this amazing accomplishment. We are the underdog story, punching above our weight and building open-weight for the people! Made in America!

[Lucas Atkins @latkins]

Today, we are releasing our first weights from Trinity-Large, our first frontier-scale model in the Trinity MoE family. American Made.

- Trinity-Large-Preview (instruct)
- Trinity-Large-Base (pretrain checkpoint)
- Trinity-Large-TrueBase (10T pre Instruct data/anneal)

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

Today vibe coding goes pro.

Introducing Bolt v2:

→ World's best agents (Claude Code, Codex)
→ Built in backend (hosting, DB, storage, ...)
→ No error loops, no setup nightmares

Now anyone can build without boundaries.

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

Incredible entrepreneurial story of perseverance, pivoting, catching lightning in a bottle and then executing like a team possessed! We are thrilled to partner with Eric and team as Bolt takes the world by storm!

[Eric Simons @EricSimons]

In October, we launched @boltdotnew with just a tweet. We had no idea what destiny had in store, but it was nuts:

• $0-20m ARR in 2 months
• 2m+ registered users
• #1 web AI code app globally

Today, we're announcing we've raised $105.5m: 🧵

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

Congrats to the Bolt squad! Emergence is thrilled to partner with you all!

[bolt.new @boltdotnew]

Today we're announcing $105.5m in funding to take Bolt to new heights! 🚀

Our Series B was led by Emergence & GV, with participation from Madrona, The Chainsmokers (Mantis), Conviction, and some of the best operators building in devtools & AI 👇

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

Well, at least the Chargers gave us all a big morale boost…

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@skydelvy @LosAngeles_Scan Sorry Sky…this is a video from 3 hours ago of the PCH below Las Flores. I can’t say for certain, but the OP mentions the houses on the hillside burned

[Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD @houmanhemmati]

🔥 BREAKING: Right now — La Costa Beach in Malibu. Everything except the beach club (where I’m Treasurer) has burned down. On the beach, on the hill across the street. All of it. The brave firefighters were overwhelmed and understaffed and stuck handling something that should never have happened.

Please pray for all those who’ve lost it all.

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

@ericsimons40 Congrats Eric and team! 🚀🚀🚀

[Eric Simons @EricSimons]

Woah, we've crossed over 2 million registered users on bolt․new 🤯

All thanks to our team & community for making Bolt the fastest growing, #1 web dev AI agent - mind boggling how fast (and smoothly!) y'all have scaled this the past 2.5 months!!

2025 let's go!! 🚀🚀🚀

[Joseph Floyd @thejoefloyd]

Highlight is my new favorite productivity booster! Pumped to join the squad and so excited for their new product releases.

[Pim de Witte @PimDeWitte]

1/ Welcoming @m_franceschetti @ishanmkh @thejoefloyd and @tkendall to the team as new investors as Highlight enters open beta this week.

We will prompt our way to AGI with Highlight's context runtime. It's not about base models anymore.

Into some of the massive updates👇
