We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.

Today we’re excited to share additional support in the Series A for Lila: $350M in total for the round and $550M raised to date. I’m grateful for our team, our early partners, and the investors who believe in this mission.

In an earlier post I asked whether science can create the next scaling paradigm for AI. We believe the way forward is to run the scientific method at scale—hypothesize → design → run → measure → update—and let models learn from real experiments.

This financing helps us do that. We’re building the world’s largest verifier for science to train a new kind of AI model.

Thank you to the partners from our first close and to the new investors who joined alongside them.

If you’re excited about creating a model that learns from the scientific method itself—or you’re a researcher or engineer who wants to work on important problems—we’d love to talk.

I think we all can agree that @bernhardsson needs to start blogging again

Things that @bernhardsson is right on:
* The right fundraising strategy for early-stage startups
* The size of the inference market
* The opportunity to build a catalog of products

Things that Erik is wrong about:
* He *should* keep blogging. Long live erikbern.com

This was one of my favorite conversations we've had. Michal is a truly one of a kind physician-engineer.

Grateful to @NEJM_AI for having me on Grand Rounds. The barrier to building has dropped, but the barrier to building safely hasn't. Closing that gap is what we do every day at @AbridgeHQ.

We teamed up with @anyscalecompute to push GLM-5.3-Flash training to 1M tokens in SkyRL—64× longer context, plus 2.1× faster steps at 256K.

Turns out the implementation of sparse attention wasn't so sparse!

We were super happy to work with anyscale to contribute these fixes to open source!
