Your agent needs a Mac
@petervoell is here to make it happen
We @CRV are proud to co-lead @themountthor’s $45M fundraise, alongside @pranavreddy @davemorin @chadbyers and more! Let’s go hill climbing 🏔️
Agentic AI runs best on Apple platforms. Accessing Apple’s hardware at scale has been hard, until now. We’re making macOS and Apple silicon available as elastic compute resources, optimized for AI research & deployment.
We have one of the largest fleets in the world, support the most demanding workloads (massive 512GB M5 Ultra clusters, anyone?), and we’re just getting started.
Wouldn’t be here without @CRV (@brittwalker_), @conviction (@pranavreddy), @chadbyers, @offlineventures (@davemorin), and others (including many inside @Apple) who believed in us early and remain incredible partners. We seek infinite games; the play continues.

A big milestone and an exciting release for @DynaRobotics! Dyna-2.1 completes a full hour-long laundry workflow autonomously, bringing the team’s vision for physical AI to life. Congrats to @Lindon_Gao @JasonMa2020 @YorkYang5050 & the team!
We are releasing Dyna-2.1, the first Physical Agent that achieves reliable super long-horizon whole-body autonomy. It combines our brand-new semi-humanoid hardware with an agentic system built around Dyna-2 to handle ultra-long real-world workflows.
Here is an uncut footage of Dyna-2.1 completing an entire hour-long laundry room workflow, just like a human does.

We led Raindrop's Series A because they’re quickly becoming the leader of agent observability. @reidRMC @brittwalker_ and the team are thrilled to back the company that is improving agents at Fortune 100s and startups alike. @raindrop_ai @snarkyzk @alexisgauba @benhylak

Today, we are announcing our Series A and a new product: @raindrop_ai Simulations.
We've now raised $50m from @CRV and @lightspeedvp to protect the world from agent failures, big and small.

Very excited to see this long-horizon prompting behavior! I learned tremendously during my years at CMU working with @deepakpathak , and it’s exciting to see these ideas come to life through the work of the Skild team!

Truly incredible.
The fact that the robot is able to learn from examples, which is also how humans learn: we watch people do things and then learn from their actions.
Now, the robot can do the same.
This could be the future of robotics.
