got the HRT gang back together!

10 years ago, as an intern i taught hrt execs how to use snapchat, and now their quarterly revenue is bigger than snap’s market cap current interns take note. if you want your company to do 2 trillion in quarterly revenue teach the execs to use muse

The inference era is here. Today, we announced Positron AI’s $875M Series C at a $5B valuation. Our CEO, @mitesh711, spoke with @RWhelanWSJ about why inference is reshaping AI infrastructure, our momentum and what we’re building next. Read more: wsj.com/tech/ai/positron-val…

We are proud to announce @keplercompute. Our mission is unlock computing for everyone by pushing memory and logic to the limits of physics. Our team co-led one of the industry's first 3D chip-stacking technologies, has led and scaled seven generations of DRAM and multiple logic designs into billions of chips. We built the world's first commercial physical synthesis tool and techniques at the heart of the logic design industry and solved long standing challenges in ferroelectrics, invented beyond CMOS logic devices. We would love to work with you to reinvent chip manufacturing here in America. Memory is the biggest binding constraint on AI compute. Today we come out of stealth after a 7 year bet on this problem - introducing a new frontier of AI memories - that approach the bandwidth per watt of SRAM and go up to 10x beyond the capacity of SRAM and HBM. We raised $468m, built a dedicated fab and our AI memories sample this year and ramp to production next year. We are allocated for 2027 and will be scaling in America by 2028. We are open for business get in touch to work together. We are also growing the group of Keplerians and would love to work with you.

Today we're announcing our $40M Series A at a $400M valuation, led by @a16z , with participation from existing investors @8vc, @pearvc, and @BloombergBeta and new investors @HRTVentures and @nextladder. Alongside the fundraise, three more announcements: - Vals Smith: is now generally available. Anyone can create a custom coding benchmark from any GitHub repo with 120 free credits to get started. - Frontier Risk Benchmarks: We are releasing the RSI Index in collaboration with @CoreWeave and just launched ReverseEngBench, a new cyber benchmark built with Columbia University, Tufts University, UC Berkeley, and UCLA. We are also sharing our initial work in mental health, with more to come across environmental impact, military, and biosecurity. - Website + Vals Index 2.0: We completely rebuilt the Vals website and have released Vals Index 2.0, with coverage of more of the economy. Our revenue has already grown 8x compared to all of 2025. Our customer base doubled and the team tripled in 6 months. Our results have been cited in model cards from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, and xAI. The AI economy runs on self-reported grades. When a model ships, the scores come from the company that built it. No other trillion-dollar industry works this way. Finance has ratings agencies. Medicine has the FDA. AI has vibes and vendor benchmarks. We built Vals to be the independent evaluation layer the industry is missing. Check out our new website and try Vals Smith!
