By meeting five, youβve forgotten meeting one. Backtrack hasnβt.

Imagine if everyone had the tools to shape intelligence itself. That day is today.
Today we launch the Trajectory platform - the easiest and most intuitive tool to post-train models of your own. The foundation for continual learning.
With just a few agent prompts, you get access to a full creative suite to train, eval, and deploy trillion parameter models.
On top of that, we believe in a future where you donβt just shape your model once, it also keeps learning on its own from the world around it.
Weβre releasing two research previews.
1. Continual grading scales your taste, so your model learns what good looks like from far more than you could ever grade by hand.
2. GS1, a new algorithm that lets models learn directly from what they do in production.
Weβve now raised 60M, with a new round led by @Sequoia at a 300M valuation to democratize the most powerful technology of today - training models - so that the lawyers, doctors, and engineers of the world can own their own intelligence.
You know what good looks like, now go build it. Own your own value function with Trajectory.
Founder work-life balance is just forgetting you have a family while making sure everyone knows how hard you work.

You hear about companies during the explosive highs or big falls.
You rarely see the early days, when the team is fighting to make something work.
I often think about emails like this:

Turns out we can predict the future
excited for what comes next
Our prediction for this Prime Day comes from Mimi, our newest prediction model at Social Intelligence Labs.
Mimi simulates 60 million people using census data and enriched persona data from other public sources and social media. We have been building Mimi over the past few months and are excited to test it publicly for the first time.
Overall, here are our thoughts:
A smaller event than Prime Day. About $109 per household, roughly a quarter below June's $143, with orders around $47 (June: $48). About half of households place two or more orders (June: 63%).
Awareness high, enthusiasm modest. 91% knew about the event, but only about one in three (32%) shopped mainly because of it, and 56% are very or extremely satisfied with the deals.
Careful shoppers. About one in three (32%) are more cautious because of the economy, and 54% compare prices across
retailers.
Early holiday shopping, light AI use. About one in four (23%) buy holiday gifts; about one in five (21%) use AI shopping tools
We will report back when Numerator's data comes out in a couple of weeks.

Genuinely canβt tell if this is a typo because itβs a huge win for Europe either way
Ground breaking investment for the European economy.

VCs will watch a college football locker room speech and think it's exactly what the founder of a B2B expense management startup needs to hear.
Five people, two weeks, $300k
Apparently you can build a frontier AI model without raising $500 million and hiring half of your employees from Stanford and Ivy League universities
