🧬 @PrimaMente is scaling faster in the race to decode Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Powered by @nebiusai and running on NVIDIA accelerated computing, Prima Mente boosted pre-training throughput by 12%, now processing 1.19M tokens/s across 16 nodes as it scales models from 7B to 100B+ parameters.

Today, I’m excited to formally announce @mirendil with my amazing co-founders Harsh Mehta, Shayan Salehian, and Tara Rezaei!

We’re fortunate to work with @a16z and @kleinerperkins, who led our seed round of $200M, followed by a major investment from NVIDIA, among others.

Mirendil exists to accelerate science and technology, and through them, to help solve humanity's most pressing problems.

Self-accelerating AI R&D is the most direct path to delivering on AI's broader promise, which is why we believe the most important application of AI is AI itself. Get this loop right, and it compounds. It fundamentally changes the rate of progress itself across all domains.

We believe this capability should be democratized. It should be used to power all scientific efforts trying to innovate at the frontier. There are far more important problems—and broader ones—than any single lab can take on, so more groups should be able to pursue them.

This pulls concentration of power away from a few labs: businesses and science labs can own their AI and infrastructure, keep their margins, and control their own destiny instead of ceding it all to a single AI lab.

We’re a small team with a singular focus. Our founding team consists of 20 researchers and engineers from frontier institutions including Anthropic, xAI, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI, united by a passion for science and a drive to build the technologies that move it faster. If you want to build the system that builds systems, join us!

Season 2 of the Nebius for Startups Podcast launches today. Our first guest, @taiuti, CEO of @reactorworld, discusses what happens when the training data you need simply doesn't exist, and how that problem led him to world models with host @Josh_Liss. 🎧 https://t.co/2dNHyS6OJr

Nebius has announced an investment of £1.7 billion to build out capacity in the UK with three new deployments of NVIDIA infrastructure.

The three new sites will deploy the latest generations of NVIDIA’s full-stack, end-to-end AI factory platform technology and combined will reach 65 MW when fully ramped up in 2027.

In addition to the capacity investment, Nebius is expanding its commercial and AI R&D hub in London and establishing local partnerships with universities and research institutions through Nebius Academy.

Arkady Volozh, founder and CEO of Nebius, said:

"The UK is one of the places where AI is being built, deployed, and adopted at the same time — by startups, by enterprises, and by the public sector. The work is happening here and the demand is here. And we are also here for the long run."

Andrew Kang's (@Rewkang) highest conviction bet is @Figure_robot.

In the recent pod he compared Figure's "taste" to Apple, arguing that the UX of Figure's product suite will be a fundamental differentiator.

It’s been crazy going down this robotics rabbit hole.

[Generalist @GeneralistAI]

We've raised $400M in new funding. This capital goes toward one mission: building general intelligence for the physical world and making it useful to everyone.

[Nebius @nebiusai]

Merci M le Président.

Nous sommes fiers de construire l'avenir de l'IA en France !

[Nebius @nebiusai]

Our customer @reactorworld just came out of stealth, and if you're building with world models or want to get started with them, this is big news. They've created exactly what developers need for the world model era: low latency, global scale, real-time setup with minimal effort. The team is exceptional (Apple, Meta, Google, Luma AI alumni) and the backers are serious ($59M, Lightspeed-led). And they're building on Nebius. Worth following!

[Nebius @nebiusai]

Nebius and @Bloom_Energy have announced a partnership to deploy Bloom’s clean fuel cells to power Nebius’s AI infrastructure build-out.

Nebius selected Bloom for its fast time to power, clean, virtually non-polluting technology, and ability to support the extreme performance demands of AI workloads.

Andrey Korolenko, Chief Product and Infrastructure Officer at Nebius:

“Power remains a key constraint for AI infrastructure build-outs. We chose Bloom because their fuel cells solve that directly: Clean power with virtually no pollutants is deployed onsite, on the timelines our customers need, with the availability AI workloads require.”

[Roman Chernin @romanchernin]

We are dead serious about building the best inference platform.

I can’t wait to see what the teams of @nebiustf, @Eigen_AI_Labs and @clarifai deliver together.

[Roman Chernin @romanchernin]

See you all tomorrow:)

Thinky's secret plan:

1: Increase Human<->AI bandwidth
2: Raise ceiling of human+AI intelligence
3: Help humans continue as main-characters in the new world

We are at Step 1.
Interaction Models are great real-time collaborative tools for humans.
Here's a preview:

[Thinking Machines @thinkymachines]

People talk, listen, watch, think, and collaborate at the same time, in real time. We've designed an AI that works with people the same way.

We share our approach, early results, and a quick look at our model in action.

[reactor @reactorworld]

Real-time World Models are the next AI frontier.

Today, we're taking the first step towards this reality: our early preview lets you experience worlds generated in real-time, running on our global low-latency infrastructure.

[Bessemer @BessemerVP]

The robotics talent market is remarkably constrained. And that's going to shape who wins.

Investor @bhavikvnagda shares two predictions from Bessemer’s Robotics Day:

1️⃣The power law in robotics will be more extreme than in software.
2️⃣Value will accrue to vertical end-to-end players, not foundation model companies.

Foundation models matter. But the winners will be the ones deploying them.

[Xiaolong Wang @xiaolonw]

Excited to share that Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI) has joined @Meta to help build the future of humanoid intelligence!

When we started ARI one year ago, our mission was clear: achieve physical AGI. Through deep customer engagements and real-world deployments, it became clear to us that serving the massive opportunity ahead requires training a truly general-purpose physical agent.

We believe this agent will be humanoid — and that scaling will come from learning directly from human experience, not teleoperation alone. Meta’s ecosystem brings together the key components needed to make this vision possible. We will be joining Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) to help bring personal superintelligence into the physical world.

We are incredibly grateful to the brilliant minds, robotics researchers, engineers, partners, and supporters who have worked with us on this journey. Thank you to our investors and angels, led by @aixventureshq , for believing in our mission.

This is just the beginning.
