Congrats to the @trajectorylabs team on the launch and the $60M raise. Proud to have been along for the ride.
Imagine if everyone had the tools to shape intelligence itself. That day is today. Today we launch the Trajectory platform - the easiest and most intuitive tool to post-train models of your own. The foundation for continual learning. With just a few agent prompts, you get access to a full creative suite to train, eval, and deploy trillion parameter models. On top of that, we believe in a future where you don’t just shape your model once, it also keeps learning on its own from the world around it. We’re releasing two research previews. 1. Continual grading scales your taste, so your model learns what good looks like from far more than you could ever grade by hand. 2. GS1, a new algorithm that lets models learn directly from what they do in production. We’ve now raised 60M, with a new round led by @Sequoia at a 300M valuation to democratize the most powerful technology of today - training models - so that the lawyers, doctors, and engineers of the world can own their own intelligence. You know what good looks like, now go build it. Own your own value function with Trajectory.

Summit 2026 This month, 130 Metalabbers from 22 countries came together in Spain. Our team spent an incredible week reconnecting by the pool, over long dinners, and with a little late-night karaoke. We’re remote-first, but nothing replaces being in the same room. Want to be at the next Summit? Check out our open roles - link in thread.

The enabler model is here, and we need to talk about what it means for us. We went from static screen assembly (and yes everything behind the scenes to get there) to building the system that lets teams ship the rest of the product. We're the reason there are no more bottlenecks. (If I hear one more person tell me they're blocked by design...omg) This time is weird. This version of our role is the most impactful we’ve ever had. Designers making things for non designers to preserve the brand. We will be the ones building the tools, the rules. This is a tiny snapshot of designers at @metalab building custom tools to extend their impact on projects. (H/t to @mlesplmer for looking under all the rocks.) Are you still trying to own every pixel or are you building the brand and product system? I threatened @ridd_design that I just might post here more often, so finding out if I might stick around.

Last week, we brought together our community of designers and product builders in SF to mark 20 years of Metalab. Metalab has been shaped by incredible people with ambitious ideas, and many of them call San Francisco home. It was great to see so many in one room. Thanks to everyone who joined us and made it a night to remember.

Every studio has a story. ✨ When we launched the Studio Spotlights series last September, the goal was simple: to create a space for studios to tell their own stories. Since then, we've had the privilege of publishing stories from teams across the creative web, sharing their journeys, perspectives, challenges, and selected works in their own words. Featured work in this reel by: Uncommon @14islands @FiddleDigital @basementstudio @ExoApe @metalab @obys_agency @StudioMalvah Thank you to all the studios who have contributed to the series. We can't wait to share more stories. Explore all Studio Spotlights: tympanus.net/codrops/tag/stu…

Stronger together. We teamed up with @sweatpals to create a brand that celebrates connection through movement. From visual identity and messaging to typography, color, and design systems, every element was crafted to transform everyday moments into meaningful, shared experiences. Designing not just for workouts, but for community, growth, and joy.

Today, @MichaelElabd, @QuantumArjun, and I are excited to announce Trajectory. We are a research lab and product company building the platform for Continual Learning. Our platform unlocks the signal already sitting in product usage, so companies can continuously post-train large-scale agentic models that outperform the frontier. @trajectorylabs We’ve raised $15M from @Conviction, @BessemerVP, @radicalvcfund, @jeffdean, @drfeifei and more. We’re partnering with some of the best AI-native companies: @ClayRunHQ @Harvey, @DecagonAI, @mercor, @RogoAI to power their agentic systems, some of which we are already in production with. We’ve brought together a world class research team from DeepMind, OpenAI, Apple, Meta Superintelligence, Amazon AGI, Scale AI, and an elite product team from Stripe and Figma. AI will never again start on day one. Every correction, every retry, every edit will make products smarter. This is Continual Learning.
