💥 Introducing Warp Sciences, a new company applying AI and robotics to help the world develop new medicines faster.
We’ve raised a $215M Series A led by @lightspeedvp to bring frontier AI out of the browser and into the lab, and build scientific capacity here in America.
I co-founded Warp with my long-time friend @dpatil, FAIR co-founder @manohar_paluri, and drug hunter Sol Reisberg. The early team is full of incredible people like @bkspears9, who helped achieve Q>1 fusion at LLNL.

Frontier models still struggle to accurately understand human video data for robotics
The biggest gap is actions: GPT-Astra hits 71.5% accuracy, Meckas custom trained model achieves 94%
@tkkong + @philhchen evaluates Meckas video understanding model against the frontier below
Today, we're sharing results from our partnership with @MeckaAI to see if frontier models can label egocentric videos for robot learning.
We had five frontier models caption 200 clips with human grading.
GPT-6 Astra which performed the best got 43.5% of clips fully correct.
We @lightspeedvp are thrilled to continue backing James, Dylan and the Profound team as part of its $180M Series D. @profound now serves one third of the Fortune 100. Congrats @thejamescad, @dbabbs and the entire Profound team.
Excited to share @profound has raised a $180M Series D, co-led by @sequoia and @kleinerperkins.
Winning in AI Search requires an inhuman amount of work. That is why we are building the AI platform for marketers, underpinned by two things:
1/ Your AI Marketer, a marketing expert that proactively investigates your data, identifies opportunities, and then does the work while you stay in the loop.
2/ Context Manager, a living synthesis of your meetings, email threads, and brand data powering this new teammate. As your brand evolves, so does your AI Marketer.
AI labs are pushing the frontier in fields like engineering, law, and finance. But marketing, one of the economy's most complex and consequential applications, has received far less attention.
That’s why we’re expanding our applied AI research team. We’re bringing together research scientists, engineers, and IOI medalists to advance AI for marketing. Their focus: post-training models for marketing workflows, and building the world's first AI benchmark for real-world tasks in the field.

We’ve raised $550M at a $15.5B valuation co-led by @lightspeedvp and @DiffusionVC.
We're using this funding to help law firms, in-house legal teams, and professional services build and own their intelligence.

We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia.
This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.
The best product companies will increasingly lean into owning their entire technology stack. Big day for the Resolve team, excited for what’s ahead!
We’ve raised an additional $40 million in our Series A Extension at a $1.5 billion valuation, led by DST Global and Salesforce Ventures, to launch Resolve AI Labs, focused on building the domain-specific models and agentic systems required to run software in production.
Leading the lab is Dhruv Mahajan, who most recently led post-training for large-scale Llama foundation models at Meta.
Foundation models alone won’t cut it. Production environments demand purpose-built models, domain-specific post-training, rigorous evaluation, and agentic systems designed for operational accuracy.
That’s why we built Resolve AI Labs.

Today we're announcing our Series C alongside some big updates that make @meetgranola better for your team and your tools.
Excited to partner with Danny at Index and Mamoon at KP. Big things to come. Back to work!
We @lightspeedvp are thrilled to lead Profound's Series C as they build the marketing infrastructure for the agentic internet.
Profound is positioned to be the defining marketing company of this new era. They are building the operating system for how brands will engage with the agentic web - where AI assistants increasingly discover, recommend, and transact on behalf of consumers.
Very excited to partner with @thejamescad, @dbabbs, and the entire Profound team

Today, @profound is excited to announce our $96M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by @lightspeedvp with participation from @sequoia, @kleinerperkins, @mattevantic, @saga_ventures and @spc.
When we started Profound 18 months ago, we had two fundamental beliefs about where marketing is heading:
1. Every company will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand.
2. Every marketer will use AI Agents to do their best work, faster.
Those beliefs are becoming reality faster than we imagined.
Now, we serve more than 10% of the Fortune 500 and are the number 1 leader on the G2 grid for AEO.
To double down on that momentum, we’re taking two big swings:
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: AI workers that take marketing teams from concept to execution.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: certifications and cohort-based learning for marketers who want stay at the forefront of AI marketing.
