Recent AI breakthroughs challenge the status quo narrative that only closed, mega labs have the ability to push the frontier of superintelligence. Today we announce Nous Psyche built on Solana - a cooperative training network for generative AI. Psyche coordinates heterogeneous hardware to join a run and train open-source models. We retell the myth of Psyche — a mortal’s quest for retribution against divine odds:

Today, we're launching Vals Public Sector: independent AI evaluation for government. Recent events have made one thing clear: the government has a stake in understanding how frontier AI models perform on day-to-day work, and the risks they carry. This work is central to who we are. We've spent years building industry-leading benchmarks alongside the top AI labs and enterprise domain experts. Now, we’re bringing that same rigor to support government where AI matters most, from public benefits to national security. We are excited for the work ahead!

Today we are introducing Tara. Biological datasets are a source of insights and a means to train biological AI models. As the ability to reason at scale emerges, they take on a new role: the ground truth for testing what reasoning models produce, and the environment in which those models operate, get feedback, and improve. Tara, our autonomous research agent, is embedded in our ever-expanding datasets, lab-generated and synthetic, and built to test and evolve the hypotheses frontier models generate, matching the pace at which they produce new ideas. By keeping those models grounded in a vast space of high-precision biological data, we believe we can compound biological reasoning and close the impedance mismatch between hypothesis generation and validation.

The German Federal Innovation Agency is running a €125m competition to fund 3 new Frontier AI labs in Europe! "Next Frontier AI" is a pan-European initiative led by SPRIND, Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation to create three globally relevant Frontier AI labs. It starts with a €125m challenge where up to 10 teams receive funding over 24 months to build frontier-lab capabilities, including team, infrastructure, prototypes, evaluation discipline, and early pilots. The best-performing teams will then receive structured support toward raising ~€1 billion each. Europe has some of the top AI companies in the world, but as a continent we are massively dependent on frontier labs from other countries. This initiative seeks to change that and I am HERE FOR IT.

Zero to $50M in 4 months. $100M+ in 12 months. That's the story of how Handshake discovered they were sitting on AI's most valuable resource: 20 million students and experts. For a decade, Garrett Lord built a career network for students and PhDs. A great business, growing well. Then AI happened. Last Christmas, Garrett realized his network of 500,000 PhDs and 3 million master's is exactly what frontier AI labs desperately needed to train their models. He flew around the country during the holidays, talked to lab leaders, and launched a new business inside his existing company. Eight months in, they now work with all 7 major frontier AI labs and have become one of the fastest-growing businesses in Silicon Valley history. In our conversation, Garrett shares: 🔸 How Handshake found this opportunity 🔸 Why AI models need human experts (e.g. physics PhDs) to improve 🔸 What this “data labeling” actually involves 🔸 Inside the actual work: what a biology PhD does for 8 hours that makes GPT-5 smarter 🔸 The playbook for building a startup inside a startup: separate teams, separate offices, separate everything 🔸 Why the shift from “generalist” to “expert” data labeling created a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity 🔸 Why AI won’t eliminate entry-level jobs—it’s creating “Iron Man suits” that make junior employees 10x more productive Listen now 👇 • YouTube: • Spotify: • Apple: Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 CodeRabbit — Cut code review time and bugs in half. Instantly: 🏆 Orkes — The enterprise platform for reliable applications and agentic workflows: 🏆 Anthropic — The AI for problem solvers and enterprise:

As AI labs race to train and deploy new frontier models, existing models become more affordable with better tokenomics. ✨ "Everybody's trying to get to the next frontier. And every time they get to the next frontier, the last generation AI tokens, the cost starts to decline about a factor of 10x every year," said NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang in a recent keynote. Model optimization techniques such as speculative decoding and multi-token prediction, combined with inference serving platforms like NVIDIA Dynamo on NVIDIA Blackwell NVL72 systems, enable AI factories to boost throughput by 10x with one-tenth of the cost per token.
