We just raised a $60M Series B at a $1B valuation to build @daytonaio into the Agent Cloud.
@FirstMarkCap led the round, with all key existing investors and angels doubling down.
We're also thrilled to welcome the founders of some generational companies aboard, including @patrickc (Stripe), @tobi (Shopify), @AravSrinivas (Perplexity), @BrendanFoody (Mercor), @oliveur (Datadog), @adamdangelo (Quora) and @ericsyuan (Zoom)
We're a 35-person team. But that's about to change; we're hiring across the board, and we'd love for you to join us.
need GPUs?
go modal! or go home.
Today we're announcing that Modal has crossed $1B in annualized run rate, as well as raised a $750M Series D at a $15.75B valuation, led by @Accel.
Since our Series C, usage has tripled and we’ve grown more than 15x year-over-year.
We are deeply grateful to the developers and companies building on Modal. There's still so much more to build, and we can't think of a better time to be building software.

Introducing interfaze-1-lite, the first general open-weight model for deterministic work
OCR, speech-to-text, extraction, classification and more
It returns confidence scores and metadata like bounding boxes on every run

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Interfaze appears to have copied the Chandra OCR 2 model, renamed it, and changed the license, without disclosing that the model is not orginal. See x.com/VikParuchuri/s…
If you’re shamed in trying to be alive, and you’re being questioned, smile, step back, and avoid engaging.
This is what I learnt today :)
Shall any man hate me? That will be his affair. But I will be mild and benevolent toward every man, and ready to show even him his mistake, not reproachfully, nor yet as making a display of my endurance, but nobly and honestly.

Turn DiffusionGemma into a Jev-like model.
This brings a new level of precision to structured tasks. By seeding a canvas with a response template, vLLM lets you extract confidence scores and probability distributions for yes/no, multiple-choice, and scored questions, all in a single denoising step.
Fast, efficient, and ready to scale!

When our CTO and I disagree on a technical direction, I go back and educate myself.
Why am I wrong? What are the counterpoints? What does the literature say?
Then I come back with an argument.
I expect that from everyone in the company. If you're waiting for someone to explain it to you, you're already behind.

A friend told me today:
“We have a colleague named Bob. Ask him anything, and he just copy your question to an AI agent and sends the answer back.”
Every company has a Bob.
