Today, we’re launching Duet Autopilot, the first verified self-improving AI agent for CX! It automatically analyzes conversations, identifies opportunities for improvement, validates updates, and surfaces them for human review, improving itself with each cycle. 👇

Introducing Duet Autopilot, the first verified self-improving AI agent for CX. It automates agent improvement by turning conversation signals into validated improvements ready for human review, helping agents get better with every conversation. 🧵

We're still in the very early innings of the AI infrastructure buildout. The companies that define this era are the ones building the foundation what what comes next. @kiwicopple & @AntWilson have seen this opportunity from day one, and we're proud to be building with them.

I've left most of what I want to say in the VoidZero blog post. But worth repeating: Thank you @voidzerodev team for trusting me and joining me on this wild ride. I am very proud to have assembled such a talented team and even prouder of what we have built together. Thank you all our investors for believing in my vision, in particular @caseyaylward from @Accel who led both our Seed and Series A. Thank you the @vite_js community. Vite and VoidZero wouldn’t have come this far without your trust and support. We will continue building with all of you, together, in the open. And thank you to everyone that made this happen at @Cloudflare. Looking forward to working with you all! voidzero.dev/posts/voidzero…

Supabase has raised $500M at a $10B valuation In this round we are giving @supabase employees the opportunity to cash out 25% of their vested options. We have done this in every round since inception. We do it as a “cashless transaction” so that employees don’t need to front any cash to exercise their options. This is the friendliest way we could design it until we can offer RSUs. On top of that, we give employees a 10 year exercise window: whether they stay or leave the company. The typical/default window is 3 months. IMO, equity is earned and employees shouldn't be penalized because they don't have the cash to exercise within 3 months of leaving a job (often that's the time they need the cash/certainty the most).

Today’s news is a testament to @EvanYou’s vision for making JavaScript developers more productive and building tools they actually want to use. Thank you to Evan and the entire @voidzerodev team for letting us be part of this story. We can’t wait to see what comes next. Accel’s @caseyaylward writes about why we’ve supported VoidZero from the beginning, and what’s ahead for this team and the 28 million JavaScript developers they build for. accel.com/news/cloudflar…

VoidZero is joining Cloudflare today. I’m really happy for @evanyou and the team. I’ve admired Evan’s work since long before I met him (Vue days!), so getting to be a small part of this journey has been insanely fun. Excited for what they’l build next! Blog post below.

Great technical talk by @tedzadouri on FlashAttention-4: a deep look at how attention kernels are being redesigned for NVIDIA Blackwell, where the bottleneck shifts from tensor cores to softmax + memory movement. Also featured: voice of god aka @marksaroufim in the background asking questions. Link below!

Good people, sharp competition, and even better conversation. Great co-hosting with you, @DecagonAI.

Every layer of the stack is being reimagined and rebuilt. Congratulations to @AnthropicAI, @cyera_io, @CogniteData, @SocureID, @perplexity_ai, @WeAreLegora, @cursor_ai , @DecagonAI, and @Lovable for being named to the @CNBC Disruptor 50.

Congratulations to @DecagonAI for being named to the 2026 @CNBC Disruptor 50 list - this recognition reflects what we've watched up close: 10x YoY growth and fast enterprise adoption across sectors. The list is an amazing milestone. The traction is the story.

$NBIS cofounder @romanchernin describes how their recent acquisitions of Eigen AI and Clarifai were all about speed, incredible talent, and acceleration: "The philosophy is very simple. We need to build so many things, and we need to move so fast, that we're always looking for people who can accelerate us. It should be exceptional talent, and/or something that has a great adoption." "Our two recent acquisitions [were] two teams that work on inference optimization. A big part of our business is how efficiently we convert GPUs into tokens. And these two teams — Eigen AI and Clarifai — one is focused on model optimization, the engine of inference. How you run specific models and all the techniques around spec decoding, quantization, and so on." "And the other is system optimization. All the routing, KV caching, and orchestration across the big cluster of compute and so on." "We have a very strong internal team working on inference. But we felt that we needed to move faster, bring more capabilities. Because the market is so fast."

Fun to share our news on @tbpn this week as we announce @forushq and $160M from @ThriveCapital, @generalcatalyst, @Accel, and more. There's an opportunity to unlock an order of magnitude more medicine for society. We have an exceptional team of 100 engineers and operators in New York, and we're looking for more high-horsepower, high-throughput individuals whose ambition matches that goal.

One-quarter of the global economy is industrial and more than half of production costs still come from labor. That's because traditional robots can only handle what they've been explicitly programmed to do. @RJScaringe is building one of the world's leading industrial robotics platforms, combining foundation models, robust hardware, and deployment infrastructure to automate dexterous, reasoning-intensive manufacturing tasks at scale. This is just the beginning for Mind Robotics.

In an era of breakthrough drugs, a patient can have the right doctor, the right diagnosis, the right medicine, and still not get treated. @forushq is rebuilding the foundation of medicine to solve this holistically, owning the prescription flow end-to-end accel.com/noteworthies/b…

Applied AI is most valuable where the work is fragmented, manual, and high stakes. @forushq automates the red tape that stands between patients and medicine.

Billions of dollars are spent each year developing life-saving medicines, but they don’t always reach the patients who need them. @forushq, founded by @sahirjaggi, is solving this with AI that reduces the administrative burden that drives physicians to burnout and delays patient care.
