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.

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
huggingface.co/interfaze-ai/…
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…

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.

Jev, now open source: Lev
A 4B open source System One model based on Qwen backbone
The best performance for it's small size

We use @vercel for a lot more than our frontend at Interfaze. We’re serving 50 million requests a month while managing GPUs without a separate backend infrastructure
I’m joining @MadsMcIlwain live to walk through our setup and share why we built it this way

We are now live on the @merge_api Gateway!
Gateway lets developers access the best models across multiple providers through a single API.
You can now use Interfaze through Merge for deterministic tasks where accuracy and consistency matter. Think vision based tasks like OCR and object detection, web based tasks like search or scraping, and audio based tasks like speech-to-text or speaker diarization.
Happy building!

▲ ~/𝚛𝚊𝚞𝚌𝚑𝚐/𝚘𝚜𝚜-𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚜/ 𝚕𝚜▐ (v2)
I'm announcing v2 of my open source grants of $1,000USD to 35 awesome contributors. The themes:
① Agent skills & tools
Skills are now a valuable form of software, like Emil's world-class design eng work. Projects like 𝚙𝚐𝚋𝚘𝚝, 𝚔𝚗𝚒𝚙, 𝚞𝚗𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚎 create amazing AI engineering loops.
② Local AI
Projects like 𝚜𝚕𝚘𝚝𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚖, 𝙻𝚘𝚌𝚊𝚕𝙰𝙸, and 𝚌𝚘𝚕𝚒𝚋𝚛𝚒 are making inference not just a demo but for many a real and growing utility. Exciting to watch local AI unfold.
③ Performance
There's no excuse for software to be slow anymore. Projects like 𝚏𝚏𝚏 and 𝚝𝚊𝚔𝚞𝚖𝚒 leading with speed, compilers like 𝙿𝚎𝚛𝚛𝚢𝚃𝚂 and 𝚙𝚘𝚛𝚏𝚏𝚘𝚛 that can help us upgrade entire ecosystems to native, and 𝚐𝚙𝚞𝚒𝚡 pushing the GPU rendering speed frontier.
④ High quality foundations
AI is still at its best when it can reuse great components than regenerating every time from first principles. Lots of love to folks working on @shadcn, Svelte(kit), Nuxt, Node.js and security foundations.
⑤ Cool experiments
I couldn't resist donating to gloom.sh, a 'Finance terminal in the terminal', or beautiful funky things like 𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛-𝚔𝚒𝚝.
