Congratulations @rronak_ @MichaelElabd @QuantumArjun @trajectorylabs team on launching the Trajectory platform, where anyone can now post-train models using your own data. @AforeVC so excited for the 1st truly productized approach to increasing model intelligence!!

ps: ramping hiring if you want to get in on the ground floor now with one of the most cracked teams in SF

Imagine if everyone had the tools to shape intelligence itself. That day is today.

Today we launch the Trajectory platform - the easiest and most intuitive tool to post-train models of your own. The foundation for continual learning.

With just a few agent prompts, you get access to a full creative suite to train, eval, and deploy trillion parameter models.

On top of that, we believe in a future where you don’t just shape your model once, it also keeps learning on its own from the world around it.

We’re releasing two research previews.

1. Continual grading scales your taste, so your model learns what good looks like from far more than you could ever grade by hand.
2. GS1, a new algorithm that lets models learn directly from what they do in production.

We’ve now raised 60M, with a new round led by @Sequoia at a 300M valuation to democratize the most powerful technology of today - training models - so that the lawyers, doctors, and engineers of the world can own their own intelligence.

You know what good looks like, now go build it. Own your own value function with Trajectory.

Physical AI gets real when elite teams take on the hardest industries. @FoundryRobotics @adarshkulkarni and team are rebuilding American manufacturing for defense, energy and AV customers - and already shipping. So stoked to back them on this journey @AforeVC Congrats on the $100M!
shoutout to afore founders @aryind_ who joined the team - they are hiring!

Adarsh Kulkarni Verified account @adarshkulkarni Oct 28

Today, @FoundryRobotics is announcing our $100M Series A, led by @MarlinspikeVC with continued support from @khoslaventures.

Together we’re securing America's ability to defend, compete, and innovate by building critical hardware at home with our new 130,000-square-foot factory in Emeryville, California.

We’re already shipping to paying customers across energy, telecom, autonomous vehicles, and defense. The next era of American manufacturing starts here.

Time to build.
