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.

Emil Michael: America’s Regulation Problems and Opportunities The great innovations of the past 20 years — Uber, Airbnb, Bitcoin — all involved companies dealing with real-world regulation. @emilmichael led this charge at @Uber. As AI potentially impacts all industries, self driving cars finally start operating, and the Supreme Court’s reversal of Chevron suggests regulatory reform, what is in store for this next era of innovation in America? Emil and I spent 90 minutes talking about: - Why California’s rail track will cost $128 billion - What self-driving means for rideshare in 2024 - How to fix our regulatory landscape Watch the video here: 00:00 intro 00:42 regulatory capture 03:23 why we can’t build anything 09:25 software culture in America 11:20 “Uber for X” opportunities 17:07 winner-take-most markets 30:45 self driving cars and Uber 43:00 becoming a “talent vortex” 49:20 the New World of PR 58:28 what Emil is doing now 1:03:00 the landscape for founders 1:11:20 our antitrust regime 1:24:30 writing better policy For the full video in beautiful 4K quality, visit YouTube! youtube.com/watch?v=bIKFn4rA…

Word on the street is that it's slated for May/June, but that was before the Claude-3 release.

Today, we're announcing Claude 3, our next generation of AI models. The three state-of-the-art models—Claude 3 Opus, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Haiku—set new industry benchmarks across reasoning, math, coding, multilingual understanding, and vision.
A table of Claude 3 model family benchmarks. Claude 3 Opus, the most capable model, exceeds SOTA across reasoning, math, code, and other evaluations versus GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra.

The past is a foreign country. The 747 today is a popular freighter. In many ways, it’s the world’s greatest freight aircraft. The 747, first produced 56 years ago in 1968, was planned as a stopgap aircraft for commercial airlines until a supersonic commercial jet could be released. Boeing never shipped a supersonic jet, and we still fly the 747 for both commercial and freight use cases.
