ChatGPT agent from @OpenAI is here! It's a huge leap in collaborating with AI to get just about anything done - from analyzing a spreadsheet, to coding, to planning your friend's birthday. Hear how @OpenAI and the dream team of @isafulf, @EdwardSun0909, and @caseychu9 made it…
Today on Training Data, the @OpenAI team behind ChatGPT agent explain how Agent Mode works, combining: 1) Deep Research (text based research agent) 2) Operator (GUI/action based computer agent) 3) Other new tools (terminal, computer apps) 4) Tied together with shared state to…
Exciting innovation in AI: Agent "Alloys" The team at @Xbow just shared research showing that combining different AI models creates something more powerful than the sum of its parts - just like metal alloys. The results are striking: • Single model success rate: 57.5% •…
Real time video diffusion from @DecartAI is a really impressive technical feat. Consumer is truly back.
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!):

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.
🎯 @reflection_ai team has entered the chat! Punching with the most powerful strategy, at the level of the frontier labs. Our two core beliefs: - the most impactful problem is code comprehension, not just code generation - the most performant products are built by those who…

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…

Can AI make novel scientific discoveries? This week on Training Data, @pushmeet VP Research responsible for Science at @GoogleDeepMind shares how AlphaEvolve is making novel scientific discoveries... with a harness that takes advantage of the fact that model hallucinations can…
At @sequoia, we love investing in daring underdogs.
History was made by the underdogs.
Can we map the mind of an LLM? Our first mechanistic interpretability episode on Training Data featuring @GoodfireAI founder @ericho_goodfire (and our first cameo from @roelofbotha!) Goodfire is building an independent mech interp lab, led by some heavyweight researchers from…
eleven labs is the coolest audio research lab, building the models behind the current stampede of voice ai startups. today on training data, a rare peek behind the curtains with @gradypb and @matistanis of @elevenlabsio! cc @andrew__reed @JenniferHli
focus, focus, focus... @elevenlabsio could have been roadkill for foundation models, but instead they're one of the fastest-growing AI companies on the planet thanks to staying laser-focused on audio @matistanis discusses specialization as a strategy, their viral moments,…
