New episode! Check out the story of @boltapp 👇

[Sequoia Capital @sequoia]

.@villigm and team built the top ride hailing company across much of Europe, Africa and the Middle East by trusting the data when everyone thought they were crazy to launch in non-obvious markets.

From bootstrapping in Estonia on 5k Euros to a global leader in mobility, hear the story of @boltapp on a new Crucible Moments.

[Sequoia Capital @sequoia]

“Many of the best things we’ve learned have come through failures.”

@ipaananen built @supercell into Europe’s first decacorn by inverting the standard corporate hierarchy and radically accepting failures.

Hear the story of Supercell today on a new episode of Crucible Moments.

This is an insanely cool story and was a ton of fun to edit, check it out 👇

[Sequoia Capital @sequoia]

In 2014, @Keller Cliffton shut down his robotic toy startup to build a drone delivery network for life-saving medical supplies.

Everyone said it wouldn’t work.

Today, @Zipline delivers for hospitals around the world. Now it’s reinventing how delivery works with Platform 2 - starting with Walmart and Chipotle in the US.

This is a story of betting everything to transform the world.

Featuring @keenanwyrobek, @ryanzip, @maggiemjim, @Alfred_Lin

Really love how these animations turned out, take a look! 👇

[Sonya Huang 🐥 @sonyatweetybird]

Can we map the mind of an LLM? Our first mechanistic interpretability episode on Training Data featuring @GoodfireAI founder @ericho_goodfire (and our first cameo from @roelofbotha!)

Goodfire is building an independent mech interp lab, led by some heavyweight researchers from the field (e.g. @leedsharkey who has led a lot of important work in sparse autoencoders to "unscramble" LLMs and resolve superposition, @nickcammarata who has been a key pioneer behind auto interpretability)

On this episode, Eric gives us a flyover of the technical results so far from this nascent field (universality, superposition), what's ahead in the research (going from circuits to weights, going from understanding to increasingly surgical editing), a preview of the real-world work they're doing already with @arcinstitute, and the impact he expects Goodfire and the broader field to have on steering, safety, editing and more.

[Sonya Huang 🐥 @sonyatweetybird]

From airplane wings to Dyson spheres, @PaulEremenko explains why physical engineering AI has lagged behind coding AI, and how @p_1_ai's approach to synthetic training data could change everything.

Older people use ChatGPT as a Google replacement.

People in their 20s and 30s use it as a life advisor.

People in college use it as an operating system.

@sama discussed AI's generational divide, his vision for @OpenAI to become your "core AI subscription" & more at AI Ascent.

@RepSwalwell Congressman, this is maybe not the kinda stuff we make fun of people for? He looks pretty shaken and unsure of what to do here.

Man, this is genuinely grotesque and evil shit.

[Sequoia Capital @sequoia]

With 10^60 possible drug molecules, predictive models alone aren’t enough.

@maxjaderberg explains how @IsomorphicLabs, the team behind AlphaFold, is creating AI agents to explore this vast universe, and why they’re key to discovering life-changing drugs hidden in plain sight.

Some new editing/animating work for @sequoia 👇

[Josephine Chen @josephinekchen]

Our understanding of the human body is fragmented and disconnected.

At @ArcInstitute co-founder @pdhsu and team are working to change that, building systems that integrate multimodal health information—from genetics to glucose levels—to transform how we understand our bodies.

[Yale Fried @yalefried]

When I was a kid, I was terrified that I’d drop the Torah at my bar mitzvah and humiliate myself in front of all my friends and family.

A decade and a half later, I finally made a movie about it! This is the trailer for Unraveled.

@benganz @vegopictures Anyone doing it for video yet?

"Are you trying to replace and eliminate people, or amplify human creativity?"

Wild corporate espionage lawsuit 👇

[Parker Conrad @parkerconrad]

Rippling sued @Deel today. Our lawsuit alleges Deel cultivated a spy at Rippling & orchestrated a long-running trade-secret theft. The spy searched “deel” in our systems 23 times per day on avg, letting him spy on Deel’s own customers who were considering a switch to Rippling.
