Introducing MirageLSD: The First Live-Stream Diffusion (LSD) AI Model Input any video stream, from a camera or video chat to a computer screen or game, and transform it into any world you desire, in real-time (<40ms latency). Here’s how it works (w/ demo you can use!):
how far can vibe coding take us? what’s missing? i’d argue… → what’s missing is *code understanding* code understanding is the reason your team’s veteran engineer is far more productive than another similarly talented person off the street. code understanding is what enables…
Engineers spend 70% of their time understanding code, not writing it. That’s why we built Asimov at @reflection_ai. The best-in-class code research agent, built for teams and organizations.
believe it or not, we’ve been looking for a company like @traversal_ai for years at @sequoia for more than a decade, we’ve been obsessed with the “rise of the developer,” leading to partnerships with companies like @github, @MongoDB and @stripe 💡 more recently, it became…

1/6 @assaf_rappaport thought I was Don Valentine when we first met. A mistaken encounter turned into a decade-plus relationship with @sequoia leading the earliest rounds in Assaf’s first company, Adallom, and @wiz_io. Today @Google announced its intent to acquire Wiz.
Excited to share our launch of Kela Defense from stealth today, including a great profile in the @WSJ. As my first Sequoia investment, this company has been a huge focus for me over the last year. We’re excited to finally share what we’ve been working on.
🚨New investment! Excited to share @sequoia's partnership w/ @MishaLaskin & @real_ioannis, *the* pioneers behind AlphaGo & Gemini, on a new mission to build @reflection_ai: 🚀Build superintelligent agents to conduct all knowledge work, starting with autonomous coding agents.
