weird to me open source vs frontier is being framed as a “this or that”. the market for intelligence is uncapped and I think it will just end up being both tons of momentum behind open source post-training. Harvey tenant, AT&T (lol), etc. but at the same time labs still ripping and don’t seem to be slowing down. as a dev definitely finding strong use cases for both ever day. I guess people just can’t fathom the size of market

You Can See Everything: 1. hype is deserved and then some. only movie I’ve ever been to where people clapped during credits 2. still don’t know what to think. 3. nothing has made me want to move to San Diego more

housing for all
Replying to @elise_ai
@elise_ai runs 5M+ voice calls a month across housing and healthcare, two industries that shape people's lives yet are often the hardest to navigate. On our series Speaking of the Future: @TheRealAk914 of EliseAI🎙️

fundraising is never the end goal, but can't lie it feels good to get validation on all the great work the team is doing. it's been an amazing 5 yrs turning advances in ai into real world outcomes. even more excited about what we're building next. always hiring. dm if interested
Intelligence is getting cheaper. Life should too. Today @elise_ai is announcing a $350 million funding round at a $4 billion valuation, led by @a16z and @bessemer. I wrote about how we’re changing the economics of housing, and the work in front of all of us: building AI for the hardest, most important industries in the world. LFB.

EliseAI has one of the most impressive growth profiles we've seen across vertical AI, in its scale, pace, and durability. Elise has become synonymous with AI in property management. We led their round a year ago, growth has since accelerated, and we're thrilled to double down. Incredible work @minnasong and team!

late to the party, but really liked @johnschulman2's take on “taste” here. judgment about what will work in the long run. a word we throw around a lot, but one i struggle to explain. simple, but one of the better definitions i’ve heard. dwarkesh.com/p/john-beren-ch…

It's been awesome working closely with @cartesia on this! @elise_ai works with over half a million affordable housing units, and it makes a HUGE difference to be able to offer a voice experience in their native language when navigating complex topics like housing eligibility and income verification. Just scratching the surfaces of new experiences that voice agents can unlock 📈
