We're doubling down on @modal's $750M Series D.
Revisit @max_rimpel's conversation with Modal's CEO @bernhardsson.
Revisit @max_rimpel's conversation with Modal's CEO @bernhardsson.
"If you're not tackling hard problems, why are you creating a startup?"
@bernhardsson was told to use Kubernetes. Instead he built @modal's file system and container runtime from the ground up, tuned for the speed AI workloads demand. With Modal, containers boot in under a urst from zero to thousands of CPUs or GPUs in a few lines of code.

Introducing Voyager: the open harness for S-tier video, graphics and games.
The Codex for creative work.
Most AI tools are built for coding. Voyager is designed to get the best creative results from models like Opus, Astra and DeepSeek.
It comes with free graphics, music and r, it can drive Blender, Resolve, After Effects, Ableton and 100+ others.
Everything in this thread was made with Voyager. A few of our favorites:

Introducing FrontierSWE, an ultra-long horizon coding benchmark.
We test agents on some of the hardest technical tasks like optimizing a video rendering library or training a model to predict the quantum properties of molecules.
Despite having 20 hours, they rarely succeed

.@codeiumdev eliminates coding tedium, enabling developers and organizations to dream bigger.
By processing 100 million lines of code in an instant, Codeium’s generative AI-powered platform makes coding a superpower for enterprises like our portfolio company, @anduriltech. Need s and queries to conform to the semantics of the new API signature or schema? Cortex is the reasoning engine that will get this done so developers can focus on more creative tasks. Forge, Codeium’s code review assistant, expedites code review cycle times and enhances code review culture.
“The future of coding isn’t just about writing lines of code faster—it’s about enabling developers to think bigger, push boundaries, and achieve the extraordinary.” -@_mohansolo, Codeium’s Co-Founder & CEO
We’re proud to double down on our partnership with Varun, Douglas, and the entire team by leading Codeium’s $150M Series C raise.

I❤️🔥Open + Diffusion + Transformer = Stable Diffusion 3
On-device Stable Diffusion 3
We are thrilled to partner with @StabilityAI for on-device inference of their latest flagship model!
We are building DiffusionKit, our multi-platform on-device inference framework for diffusion models. Given Argmax's roots in Apple, our first step fusion 3 to Mac. We have optimized the memory consumption and latency for both MLX and Core ML.
We will open-source this project alongside Stability AI's upcoming open-weights release. Until then, we will share inference performance data in the coming days and work on compressing the models. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want your diffusion models on-device.
