The U.S. Navy is buying 10 of Saronic's Marauder, a 180-foot ship with no crew that can carry up to 150 tons of cargo or gear. Average price: about $40 million each. First deliveries could come in 2027. defence-blog.com/u-s-navy-or…

Earlier today, Vice President JD Vance helped break ground on Saronic's new Port Alpha, where a $3 billion investment is expected to generate up to 10,000 jobs and lead to an economic impact of $264.5 billion for the great state of Texas! American shipbuilding is BACK!

We recently welcomed leaders from the @USArmy to our Franklin, Louisiana shipyard to showcase our Marauder MUSV production. During the visit, the group saw the ongoing construction of our 180-foot Marauder MUSVs and discussed how autonomous maritime platforms can expand capacity, operational reach, and flexibility for the joint force. Saronic is currently under contract with the Army to advance autonomous maritime logistics. Marauder can support resilient, autonomous, networked resupply operations with its long endurance, significant payload capacity, and flexible design. Thank you to the Army team for joining us and seeing the progress underway firsthand!

We are proud to announce that @TIME named ICON co-founder and CEO @JasonDBallard to the inaugural ‘TIME Trailblazers: Designing and Making the Future’ list.

Apex is The Spacecraft Platform Company. For most of space history, progress was measured in firsts. First satellite. First human in space. First Moon landing. The next era will be measured in rate: how fast you can deploy, replenish, and refresh the infrastructure everything else depends on. That’s the New Space Race. Winning it takes constellations: many satellites working together as systems. And constellations require two industrial capabilities: launch and spacecraft platforms. Launch is ready enough. Platforms are not. Apex exists to remove that bottleneck.

From the LA Clippers On behalf of the LA Clippers: We vehemently reject the NBA's findings, which are the result of a heavily biased investigation seeking to justify a predetermined narrative rather than facts and evidence. What the league told us privately differs from what it announced today publicly, and they have not held themselves close to the standard Commissioner Silver set at the start of this investigation to ensure it’s fairness and accuracy. For the past year, we cooperated fully and in good faith and we will now fight just as hard to demonstrate our innocence. We intend to vigorously challenge these findings and penalties through every avenue available to us and look forward to an ethical and impartial arbitration process.

Today, we're announcing a strategic partnership with Samsung Heavy Industries to accelerate the development of autonomy-capable maritime systems and technologies that strengthen America's shipbuilding industrial base. Building on our shared strengths in maritime autonomy and shipbuilding, we will explore advanced development of autonomy, AI-powered digital solutions, and production infrastructure, including robotics-based process automation across our shipyards. We're proud to have announced this partnership at the @CommerceGov event recognizing the launch of the Korea–U.S. Shipbuilding Partnership Center (KUSPC). Thank you Secretary @howardlutnick and Minister Kim Jung-kwan for joining us to advance allied shipbuilding collaboration. Learn more here: medium.com/saronic-technolog…

The U.S. military confirmed multiple military variant Saronic Corsairs, our 24ft ASV, were used in strikes to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial shipping — marking the first time American forces have employed sea drones in combat operations. We are proud that our technology supported this mission and helped to keep the brave men and women of the U.S. armed forces safe. Saronic remains committed to delivering autonomous maritime systems that strengthen the security of America and its allies.

Some recent articles have created a misleading narrative that I did not take Mythos seriously or tried to downplay the cyber threat. This is based on egregious cherry-picking of my comments and (since the real target is the Trump Administration) needs to be corrected. When Mythos Preview first launched, I pointed out that Anthropic has a history of scare tactics, but then immediately went on to say that “we have no choice but to take this seriously” and that every CISO and IT department should move quickly to harden systems against AI-powered cyberattacks. Here’s what I said on the April 10 All-In Podcast (3 days after launch of Mythos Preview): “Anytime Anthropic is scaring people, you have to ask, is this a tactic, is this part of their chicken little routine, or is it real? With cyber, I actually would give them credit in this case and say, this is more on the real side. “It just makes sense that as the coding models become more and more capable, they’re more capable of finding bugs. That means they’re more capable of finding vulnerabilities. That means they’re more capable of stringing together multiple vulnerabilities and creating an exploit. “I do think that every company, or IT department, or CISO that is managing code bases should take this seriously and use the next few months to detect any dormant bugs or vulnerabilities and roll out patches.” I posted similar framing on X: On April 10: “The world has no choice but to take the cyber threat associated with Mythos seriously. But it’s hard to ignore that Anthropic has a history of scare tactics.” (With examples attached). On April 12: I noted that a growing number of people were wondering if Anthropic was the AI industry’s “boy who cried wolf,” and that the company would face a serious credibility problem if the threats didn’t materialize. These are the lines the articles highlight. They emphasize the “scare tactics” / “boy who cried wolf” critique while omitting the parts where I said the cyber threat itself was real and required immediate action. It is entirely possible to question a messenger’s track record while still treating the underlying risk as serious — and that’s exactly what I did. By the way, this view isn’t unique to me or even particularly controversial; highly respected tech commentator Ben Thompson recently made a similar critique about Anthropic. On April 30 I posted a more technical thread after tests by the AI Security Institute showed that GPT-5.5-Cyber performed similarly to Mythos: “Mythos is not magic. It’s not a doomsday device. It’s the first of many models that can automate cyber tasks (just like coding). … these models do not create vulnerabilities; they discover them. The bugs are already in the code. Using AI to discover and patch them will actually harden these systems. “The leap from pre-AI cyber to post-AI cyber means that there will be a big upgrade cycle. … it’s important that cyber defenders get access before cyber attackers. That process is already underway but needs to happen quickly.” My position remains consistent: We are on a shot clock until Mythos-level capabilities diffuse widely, including to non-U.S. / Chinese models. We need defenders to find and patch vulnerabilities before that happens. This requires cooperation between government and industry. Unfortunately Anthropic’s needlessly confrontational posture toward the Administration has distracted from that mission. Policy debates have their time and place, but right now tangible defensive action is what matters most. I hope everyone moves forward on that basis.

The U.S. military confirmed that a Saronic Corsair was used in the first-of-its-kind rescue operation following the downing of a U.S. Army helicopter. At Saronic, we build autonomous vessels to extend capability into the most demanding and dangerous environments. Knowing Corsair could play a role in helping bring our service members home safely is exactly why we build. Proud to support the men and women of the U.S. armed forces — and grateful to the team that made it possible. 🇺🇸

Two US aviators went down near the Strait of Hormuz. DoW used an autonomous @Saronic Corsair to find and bring them home - the 1st drone rescue at sea in military history. This is why we build: to keep our troops safe. This was science fiction. American builders made it real 🇺🇸.

The first documented use of an autonomous vessel to rescue soldiers in a combat zone. Wild. And coincidentally I was touring their facility in Austin this past weekend. It’s an amazing company. Defense tech is moving fast and opening up all sorts of new possibilities. expressnews.com/business/art…
