Cybersecurity will be one the biggest secular winners from this AI era.

The "Vulnpocalypse" is already here, as practitioners forecasted ~6 months ago.

@Cathedral doing very interesting work here.

As AI becomes more capable at finding vulnerabilities, defenders need to put it to work before attackers do.

We’re planning our next internal security sprint at OpenAI and partnering with Cathedral Systems, whose researchers will use our models alongside our teams to challenge our defenses. They’ll bring differentiated expertise and approaches to our ongoing work to find and fix weaknesses with AI.

We’re also raising bug bounty rewards, including more than quadrupling rewards for critical findings. Exceptional findings will be eligible for up to $172,000, including bonuses.

We’ll keep advancing our models, using them to strengthen our own systems, and expanding access for trusted defenders.

Congrats to @spectorb and @amspector100 on the incredible progress. Amazing what you can achieve in AI when you unleash the best people.

@breeves08 is one of the best investors out there right now. Welcome to the Flapping Airplanes team!

We’ve spent the past year developing new primitives for GPUs. We believe this enables new algorithms to change how machines learn, open new markets, and dramatically reshape AI’s cost structure.

We have raised a $1 billion Series A, co-led by Index and Lux.

I'm excited to welcome @cambridgemike as our VP of Engineering. Mike joins us after having spent 13 years at @X (Twitter) - where he already made hires using Juicebox!

In the last 2 years of scaling our engineering team, we had three main learnings.

1/ Approach every problem from first principles
2/ Small, competent teams can drive outsized outcomes
3/ Great engineers understand product and business goals

Mike embodies every single one of these. He is one of the clearest first-principles thinkers I've met. He has run remarkably lean teams at X (Twitter) responsible for some of the world's hardest product and infra challenges. And he did all of this in a high pressure environment that most companies will never see.

Having built one of the world's most loved consumer apps, Mike also brings an exceptional level of product intuition. That's especially important as we build agents for a complex workflow like recruiting.

Fun fact: he actually used Juicebox Agents to hire for his previous team :)

Welcome to the team, Mike! Couldn't be more excited for this next phase of growth.
