Tutor is one of the companies I'm most excited about, and I'm particularly glad to support it because it is run by some of my favorite people! (And also robots are cool)

We raised a $75M Series B to deploy intelligent robots now, led by @a16z, with participation from @usv and @neo.

@tutorintel robots work real jobs across the United States, directed by human “tutors” and the foundation models we’ve trained on the work done. This round accelerates frontier model training, robot manufacturing, and deployment into industry.

We’re in almost 4x as many sites as a year ago; nearly a third of this year’s deployments went to existing customers coming back for more; and we’re on track to have more than 1,000 robots under contract by the end of 2027.

Our mission is to proliferate robotics for the common good. If you want to make robots reliably do things others think are impossible, for people who’ve never had access to this technology, join us.

Hello again, it's been a while.

We're writing to let you know that we have raised quite a lot more money. We're letting you know because we are on the lookout to hire smart people and this will help us do that.

See you again when we have a product or have raised more money!

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.
