The most interesting data in AI may be the data that doesn’t exist yet. Models that guide experiments, then learn from the results, could fundamentally change the pace of scientific discovery.
We built high-throughput materials labs in Menlo Park to create a loop between experiments and models. The labs generate fresh data, the models learn from it, and then help us decide what to try next. Using only 1,300 H200s, plus months of our experimental data, we mid-trained and RL’d an open-source model to surpass GPT-6 Astra on our analysis benchmark. We call it Neon. This is real footage from our lab. We’re focusing first on hard problems in materials science, including superconductors, magnets, and semiconductor materials. Read our blog posts below.

What an incredible outcome for @huggingface! Long before it was obvious, @ClementDelangue and his co-founders saw that AI should be more open and accessible. His passion for open source, remarkable ability to bring people together, and talent for assembling an extraordinary team are at the heart of everything Hugging Face has become. Together, @svangel and A Capital feel incredibly fortunate to have been their partners and, collectively, the company’s largest outside shareholder. Thank you, Clem, and congratulations to the entire Hugging Face team, NVIDIA and @JensenHuang!

Our thesis at @AbridgeHQ has always been simple: the best technology in healthcare should help the technology disappear. This is our opportunity to use AI to actually rethink and redesign the system. Learn more here: abridge.com/vision?utm_sourc…

A journo named @stuwoo followed me to Singapore, and then tried to pathologize my move to Singapore. Why?

Exactly 10 years ago (Jan 2016), I stepped in as CEO. We had just closed out Q4 with a total of $600k in revenue (screenshot from board deck). Fast forward a decade. Q4 audited GAAP Revenue: $1,290M and over $5.4B revenue run-rate ending January. I’ve never tweeted our exact quarterly financials before, but seeing that $1.29B number cross my desk on my 10-year anniversary hit differently. To the team that built this: thank you. If you're following the data space, you know exactly what this milestone means. 🏗️

It's not often the co-founders and I author blog posts together, but we thought this one is important so we took time to write this together with the Neon team. In this blog we outline why we think a new type of database will slowly take over and replace all existing databases, we call it the Lakebase. We cover the WHY and the WHAT here: 𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐄𝐫𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞 databricks.com/blog/what-is-…

Very excited to announce that Astranis is building a new satellite for Oman. We've signed a 9-figure contract with MB Group —the largest oil and gas conglomerate in Oman— to bring Oman its first dedicated communications satellite. This partnership was announced today in Oman with the leadership of MB Group and senior government officials from the Oman Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology. The deal is part of an overall $200 million investment by MB Group in sovereign connectivity, advancing the Vision 2040 program by the Oman government. This satellite will go up on our Block 3 launch later this year, going from contract to operations in months, not years. Sovereign connectivity is no longer optional. Countries need private, secure networks to know their data is secure and in the right hands. Astranis builds dedicated satellites that make this possible, giving our customer full control over payload configuration, coverage, and network operations. We are the only company that gives our customers a standalone, dedicated network that spans their geography of choice and delivers enterprise-grade security, customizability, and operational visibility of the network and data traffic. This type of infrastructure is impossible to replicate with shared networks or terrestrial links alone. And that's why countries like Oman and Taiwan are choosing Astranis. We built Astranis on the belief that access to secure, reliable communications infrastructure is foundational to growth. It's an honor to partner with MB Group and Oman, and we look forward to supporting the people of Oman and their digital future for many years to come.
