A billion people produce the most valuable dataset in the world every day – and delete it every night.
We’re recording it.

Introducing @PoeticHQ: a new AI system that executes complex multi-hour tasks with 99%+ accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents.
We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination.
While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy.
So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code.
When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective.
In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four.
Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99%+ quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.
the 8vc fellows last year had an hours-long debate on the morality of monkey trials. we were pro conning on the whiteboards in the office. must have forgotten to erase
.@JTLonsdale is breeding monkeys to save America:
“China cut off a lot of things from us. They have this strategy of going after our biotech sector.”
“One of the things you need is to do primate testing.”
“This is very controversial but my 5-year-old gets it.”
“If I say, ‘If Mommy had a very bad disease and were trying to work on a cure, do you want us to test the cure on Mommy, or test it on the monkeys first?’”
“She’s like, ‘Test the monkeys.’ I’m like, ‘How many?’ She’s like, ‘Hundreds of monkeys.’”
“There’s wisdom there. I think human life is more important, even though I feel bad hurting a monkey.”
“There’s not nearly enough primates now. No one will touch it. So we started a company.”
“It’s pro-human.”

i asked a bunch of LLMs to flip a coin 1000 times. it went terribly.
flip the coin. make the stats worse. ⬇️

We’re launching @JudgmentLabs today and announcing $32M in funding.
As AI agents take on more of the work that creates economic value, they generate massive amounts of production data: the clearest record of how they behave with users, software, and the real world.
Judgment builds infrastructure for improving AI agents from production data.

Today we’re introducing Forus and announcing $160M to build the foundation for modern medicine.
Science should be the only limit to medicine. Today it isn’t. Drug discovery is moving faster, but the system that turns it into real-world treatment isn’t.
