If these leaked benchmarks for Gemini 3 Pro are correct (could not verify yet) $GOOGL about to drop a model that dwarfs other models and claims the num 1 spot while being both trained and inferenced on TPUs. $GOOGL about to disrupt the whole AI supply chain with its full stack.

This is probably one of the highest IRR VC investments of all time Martin / A16Z led the series A ~2 years ago at a $400M valuation… now Cursor is acquired for $60B. ~120x return in 2 years after accounting for dilution… ~1000% IRR, and a 10 digit gain for LP’s!

OpenAI’s hardware product is a donut-shaped smart speaker the size of a hockey puck, with a camera, speakers, microphones, and lights. $300-400 Certainly seems like that product @jgebbia was spotted with in SF could be a prototype

Jeff Dean (30th employee of Google, there since 1999) is leaving to start a company with @Sanjay_Ghemawat& other Google AI leadership. He raised a round from Radical VC, Khosla and Google, size not reported $GOOG -4% today

Bending Spoons is acquiring Airtable for $2.25B Airtable has $965M of cash, so the EV is $1.285B. Airtable had raised $1.35B of VC capital, last round Dec ‘21 at $11.7B. At ~$480M ARR growing 20%+ YoY, that’s 2.7x ARR. Surprised they are selling with so much cash!

Apple claimed OpenAI was ignoring them and then sued over stolen trade secrets. Turns out Apple’s counsel sent the notice to the wrong email after mixing up 2 Asian last names🤦🏽‍♂️! Love airing of dirty laundry direct to the public. Doubt Apple will respond the same way.

MSFT putting $2.5B and 6,000 engineers in “Frontier Co” Now Microsoft, Amazon, OpenAI and Anthropic are all in the Palantir-like deployco business.
