Just hosted a private @velocityeleven x @FoundationCap dinner in SF with @realleolu and @joannezchen, bringing together 5 enterprise AI builders and 5 leading researchers from Meta, DeepMind, and Berkeley AI.

Here’s where we think agentic infrastructure is headed next. 👇

The day I realized I’d lost my intellectual freedom was when my peer review praised my philosophy essay for its “clear and common sense approach”

[Agentica Project @Agentica_]

🚀 Introducing DeepSWE 🤖: our fully open-sourced, SOTA software engineering agent trained purely with RL on top of Qwen3-32B. DeepSWE achieves 59% on SWEBench-Verified with test-time scaling (and 42.2% Pass@1), topping the SWEBench leaderboard for open-weight models.

💪DeepSWE is trained with rLLM, our modular RL post-training framework for agents. rLLM makes it easy to build, train, and deploy RL-tuned agents on real-world workloads — from software engineering to web navigation and beyond.

🤗As always, we’re open-sourcing everything: not just the model, but the training code (rLLM), dataset (R2EGym), and training recipe for full reproducibility.

🔥Train DeepSWE yourself. Extend it. Build your own local agents. No secrets, no barriers.

DeepSWE and rLLM mark our major shift: from training language reasoners to building language agents that can truly learn from experience.

We believe the future of AI lies in experience-driven learning — and we’re here to democratize it.

Welcome to the era of experience. 🌍

“My propositions serve as elucidations in the following way: anyone who understands me eventually recognizes them as nonsensical, when he has used them—as steps—to climb beyond them. (He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder after he has climbed up it.)”

the most successful people i know constantly pick insane extreme belief systems, that happen to have downstream effects they desire, and stick with them for 6-36 months to build up the habits that lead to said effects before quietly discarding them with a "that was fun" levity

either one lacks the faculties to succeed conventionally and finds a unique way to produce or success comes so easy that something more is required to satiate the intellect

is it still reasonable to leave or open up the marriage like it’s been 30 years and you’re old and shriveled now with kids and access to your retirement savings but also they cheated on you

[tarun @unmaithedavan]

what do you even do if you’ve been married to someone for 30 years and you find out they cheated on you before you got married

language may never be sufficient to facilitate real discourse on transcendental investigations, yet our continued compulsion to keep trying elucidates an indefinite optimism inherent to the human condition
