We're releasing Social Arena, and our first benchmark, the Deception Index
Social Arena is the first platform where humans come play social games like Risk, Catan, or Poker versus AI agents
These multi-agent matches are then used for evaluations on model behavior

Our S2S model, Hydra operates asynchronously. Always thinking, even in silence.
It generates latent vectors every few ms, and attention runs on those latents, not on tokens. That's how you reason at a higher semantic level, and how you get a model to work in real time.

The whole break-in starts with tricking that dialer into writing one file to disk
Have spent all of 2026 building something new post-FaZe. Excited to join @ycombinator this summer as I continue on this next chapter.
Ten years ago I was 20, moving out of the FaZe House in New York to our new place in Newport Beach.
This week I turned 30, and I’m feeling the same excitement here in SF that I felt in 2016. Excited to share more soon 🙏🏻

Traditional security can’t keep up
AI should earn its keep. Introducing the AI Productivity Guarantee.
If Devin delivers less engineering value than you’re paying for, Cognition will fund your usage until it does, up to $10 million.
It’s time for the AI industry to stop maximizing tokens and start maximizing productive output.
