Thanks a lot for the help guys @sankeerth1729, @CyrilGorlla
The @ycombinator community is like no other. It's Saturday evening, and we're sharing our expertise working with Fortune 500 leaders as @gigaml is about to close a huge public company. Founders helping founders is how we win.

It's an open secret in the industry that the AI customer service tools with famous founders and hundreds of millions in funding are vaporware. Expect to see a bunch of companies announce they're using AI CS from actual startups over the next few weeks.
The @gigaml founders are in the elite founder tier for both IQ and how hardcore their work ethic is. At their current growth rate, they'll be one of the leading AI companies within a year. There's nowhere better to join for the most hardcore engineers: jobs.ashbyhq.com/gigaml
Giga is the next AI rocketship, and they’re hiring forward deployed engineers. (They’re building SOTA customer support agents that have 100% win-rate against all other AI customer support products for Fortune 500) They’re the next AI compound startup jobs.ashbyhq.com/GigaML/0bd3cb1…
GigaML beats Decagon head to head in AI customer support for the largest enterprise marketplaces in the world

Congrats @coinbase team.
Coinbase just became the first and only crypto company to join the S&P 500. This milestone represents what the true believers, from retail investors to institutional investors to our employees and partners, knew all along. Crypto is here to stay.
Fathom is making me hate it more and more I use. It has a default setting to share recording to every one and every user needs to configure it individually. I as an admin can't auto turn it on it keeps sending emails to the customers who it shouldn't.
Gemini got really better its better than O3 I just cancelled my $200/month subscription with open ai
We are excited to announce our exclusive partnership between @gigaml and @Cloudbeds ! • We will be powering 31,000 Cloudbeds hotels worldwide with our Voice AI Agents. • Already live at Rio Las Vegas handling both internal & external calls. If you are a B2C enterprise looking…
Exploring forms, refining marks, and forging meaning. Emblem concepts and explorations. ⚒️🔥
New in @InfoWorld: Now that the dust of @deepseek_ai's R1 has settled, what are the implications for how we approach AI at large? First principles thinking is essential to building the next generation of AI. (thanks @fchollet, @daltonc and @GuptaUcsd for their comments)
Post-training to reduce censorship has been done before, but mathematically removing the concept of censorship from the model? Less trivial, but what high-risk AI applications demand. @CTGTInc does exactly this, as I discussed in my talk @ucsd_cse last week.
Announcing our first open-weights model: R1 1776 - a version of DeepSeek R1 that's been post-trained to remove the China censorship and provide unbiased, accurate responses. Here's a graph showing % of Chinese censorship by the model (the lower, the better).
