I’m so incredibly proud of what we are building at @arcee_ai . It’s a truly special place. We are only getting started though.
We’ve been quiet for a while, but we haven’t been idle. I can’t wait to share more about what we have been grinding on for the past ~6 months.
I won’t spoil anything, but you can get some idea from this announcement.
Today, we are announcing our Series B funding round, valuing the company at more than $1B.
This round accelerates our next-gen Trinity models across diverse infrastructure, expands our work with the DOE and national labs on Genesis-Science-1, and enables us to build the platform teams need to build, evaluate, deploy, and operate open models in production.
We are grateful to our team, partners, open-source community, and investors.
Led by @Vista_Equity, Cambium Capital, and @emergencecap, with participation from AI10 Ventures, @Hitachi, IAG, @M12vc, @p7ventures, and @Wipro.

Amdahl: “My law states the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used.”
My buddies in 2018: “ain’t no laws when your drinking claws”
Who you gonna believe?

Why throw pontius under the bus for this? He washed his hands of this.
Oh, you're worried about a Jewish guy's apocalyptic cult? You're scandalized that they consort with prostitutes? You think their message of compassion for everyone threatens normal bonds of family, community, and nation? Should we throw you a party? Should we invite Pontius Pilate?

we started out the summer trying to build the next generation of our VLM family, world class at classical image and video understanding. as we branched into tool calling capability, datasets which skew heavily towards traditional LLM domains like web search, we discovered some incredible cross task generalization: the model can control physical embodiments like drones and perform real world physical search tasks, demonstrating spatial awareness and navigational skills. this model is incredibly powerful, its fast, and you can throw basically any video, image, or real world agentic task at it. give it a try :-)
Today we're releasing Mk1.5: a new intelligence layer for embodied agents.
It flies drones, controls quadrupeds, powers smart glasses, tracks objects, searches the web, reasons visually, and dispatches its own sub-agents.
One model, no platform-specific retraining. 🧵

We're excited to finally release our next generation model for embodied intelligence. We packed a lot into this release, from new architectures (2-4x speed up) to adding audio as a first class modality to new post-training, we're building the foundations for anyone deploying anything in the physical world.

very interesting developments what is this arcee dot ai?
Thrilled to announce I've joined @arcee_ai as Head of Compute / Infrastructure to build the model stack for the next generation of American open source frontier intelligence.
I'm hiring. If you're interested in working on a rigorous team at the frontier of infra, DMs are open!

Gerred has had a phenomenal impact on our execution speed in just 4 weeks. Happy he’s here and we’re investing heavily in hires for his team. Consider reaching out.

Keith is the best engineer I ever worked with and we got to hit on all of my favorite topics in this conversation: pure math, chess, engineering, and what all of this means for the kids.
The clankers have the keyboard. Rather than mourn the transition, we find it exhilarating.
Announcing After Coding, a new Pebblebed podcast with @keithmadams. Episode 1 with @josh_wills is live.
