RT @mattocko: .@agilityrobotics’ customer depth and traction just keeps increasing. 👇

GXO was the first company to put Digit to work. Now it’s expanding to two more U.S. warehouses, starting in early 2027. @johnkoetsier @Forbes covers why repeat customers are the signal that matters in humanoid robotics: forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsie…

A look at what @DCVC founders delivered /this week/: 💪 🚚 ⚛️ Defense-grade nuclear momentum: @RadiantNuclear was selected by the @USNavy to supply its microreactor for Naval Weapons Station Crane while advancing site planning with the @USArmy to install three microreactors at Fort Benning. 🤖 Factory-floor humanoid deployment: @agilityrobotics signed a commercial agreement with @AGCOcorp, a farm equipment leader, to deploy Digit humanoids in its Kansas manufacturing facilities—after partnering just last week with @nyobolt for ultra-fast charging batteries to unlock near-continuous uptime. 💧 Industrial water circularity at scale: @zwitterco secured a strategic investment from water and hygiene giant @Ecolab to scale its zwitterionic membrane filtration systems across food and beverage processing plants. 🧬 Multimodal AI data infrastructure: BioStack raised a $9.5M Series Seed (joined by DCVC) to expand its cross-border clinical data platform across 100M+ de-identified patient records for medical AI models. ⚡ Geothermal grid leadership: @fervoenergy's Cape Station in Utah was spotlighted by @Reuters as the first greenfield enhanced geothermal plant in the world to hit commercial operation. ✨ A glass half-full: @Forbes named @DCVC co-founder @mattocko to its list of the Greatest Living American Optimists, for backing science- and computer-intensive deep tech founders solving the world's hardest problems. Deep tech is grueling. It's also inspiring. Onward!

Today we're sharing a major milestone for BioStack: We’ve raised $9.5 million from @peakxvpartners, @EmCollective, @DCVC, @AforeVC, @VerdictCap and @ycombinator among several others to build the data foundation for the next generation of healthcare AI. 🧵

Two exciting AI launches both from @DCVC portfolio companies: @RecursiveAI's Flint: 40B MoE (2.5B active), 74.2% SWE-bench. Built in under 4 months with AI automating parts of its own R&D. @humansand's Ampersand: RL-trained for collaboration. 39% CooperBench vs. 17.3% baseline. AI that builds better AI. AI that makes humans work better together. Two different but important frontiers

(7/7) Onward, with deep concentration (like Mainspring, above)!

(6/7) ⚛️ Modular quantum momentum: @universalquant continued its global push following its $100M+ Series A co-led by DCVC, advancing its trapped-ion architecture to bypass photonic bottlenecks for fault-tolerant quantum computing.

(5/7) 🧬 Rare-earth biotech recognition: @AltaResTech was highlighted in @cenmag for using engineered proteins to refine critical rare earth elements sustainably, backed by over $60M in funding.

(4/7) 🛡️ A European air defense partnership: @FortemTech expanded its strategic partnership with missile manufacturer @MBDAGroup to integrate autonomous counter-drone interceptors into European and allied air defense networks.

(3/7) 🧠 Machine-native AI that everyone wants: @typesafeai's Jev was named @vercel's fastest-adopted AI model ever, while continuing to make waves across @TechCrunch, @Forbes, and @TheEconomist following its $870M Series A.

(2/7) ⚛️ Nuclear progress: @KairosPower raised $643 million ($368M from private backers including DCVC, alongside $275M from @ENERGY) to accelerate construction of its advanced reactor project in Tennessee.

(1/7) A look at what @DCVC founders delivered this week 💪🧵👇 ⚡ A landmark grid-power deal: @MainspringEnrgy signed a supply agreement with @AEPnews for up to 1.6 GW of linear generators in a deal that could top $4 billion.

@DCVC is excited to support @Kairos Power. This company has done incredible work developing and proving their technology, which has been rewarded with valuable commercial partnerships. #FirmElectricity #NuclearEnergy #Innovation

LLMs optimize for what humans like to read, not what machines need to do. The next leap in AI won't come from larger models, but from architectures that make intelligence cheaper and more machine-native (cue @DCVC-backed @typesafeai).

Have had several requests to post slides from the recent quantum investor talk I gave @UCLA I've been investing in quantum for >10 years and while the data wasn't surprising it was still interesting to actually see the numbers ... ⚛️🧵👇

The microbiome is essential to human health but until recently, we couldn't do much with it. @DCVC's @jason_pontin examines the breakthroughs finally making the microbiome druggable (DCVC-backed @kanvasbio leads here).

.@FortemTech is integral to defense. With every advance, this company makes people safer. 👇

Enjoyed my conversation with @suffiyanmalikk. Full episode here. ⚛️ Quantum is coming, and will be huge, but not for the use cases and reasons you think. 💰The best founders raised at 2X higher valuation. 🏦 Companies that raised from Tier 1 funds were 5x more likely to become a success. 💹 New forms of tradable assets will become huge, especially compute and energy derivatives We discussed these and many more. Give it a listen.

YUP! 👇
