Deel launches Pangaea AI models for HR and payroll, betting specialists can cut the cost of answers
venturebeat.com/ai/deel-laun…
Mikey Collard retweeted
AI has read the whole internet. But it’s never run payroll or a business.
We’re changing that.
Today, we’re launching Emet, our AI lab for model evaluation and training, and Pangaea, our first family of models for global work.
On real payroll tasks, the best AI model fully solves only 49%. Close enough to look right. Wrong enough to break a paycheck.
At Emet, in-country experts define what getting it right looks like. We turn that into public benchmarks and training data, and score every model against them. Ours included.
Pangaea is the first proof. Built on open-weight models and trained with Emet, it gets close to top-model accuracy, up to 3x faster, at a fraction of the cost.
@deel and the payroll teams that joined us bring decades of experience running payroll, HR, and compliance across 150+ countries. Knowledge the internet doesn’t have.
Emet puts it to work for every AI model, not just ours.

PR people get a lot of hate, and the bad ones are certainly frustrating to deal with sometimes, but great PR people are truly a godsend. They are brilliant and helpful and play such a valuable role in the media ecosystem these days as it becomes more and more of a nightmare to navigate. So shout out to the great PR people out there and I’m sorry for the times I’ve ever besmirched the profession!!

Some personal news: I'm stepping up to become the @FT's deputy bureau chief on the West Coast.
I'll still be covering venture, the AI boom, and tech talkshow M&A, and still at [email protected] or ghammond.33 on Signal
Grazie @sjhmorris and wonderful SF team. 🫡

i'm not an expert but posting about the nyt for a week and saying you want to do a hostile takeover to change its coverage seems to undermine the argument that the the nyt doesn't matter because you can "go direct"
