Super stoked to finally share that I've been working with @ProximalHQ for a bit now.
It's hard to overstate how talent-dense this team is. I've worked with some great teams in the past, but I've never seen one move with this speed or intensity.
We're building the infrastructure for AI to learn from real-world experience, starting with some of the hardest problems in post-training and synthetic data.
I'm very excited for what's ahead.
If this sounds like the kind of thing you want to be a part of, hit me up. We're hiring!
Proximal builds infrastructure that enables AI to improve from real-world experience.
In the past year, we have grown to more than $200M in annualized revenue helping frontier labs and enterprises improve coding agents. Now, we are expanding beyond software engineering.
Recent progress in mathematics demonstrates what happens when models are trained in domains with massive amounts of public data and easy verifiability, making it easy to find weaknesses, generate training tasks, and iterate quickly.
We build infrastructure that enables this feedback loop in other domains: we are excited about a world in which AI systems design targeted drugs, accelerate chip design, and rewrite legacy software that still runs hospitals, power grids, governments, and other critical infrastructure.
Since starting, we have assembled a small team of researchers and engineers and built world-class infrastructure for post-training and synthetic data research to overcome the challenges of scaling manual data curation.
Our team comes from Cursor, Google DeepMind, Meta Superintelligence, Prime Intellect, Citadel, and Jane Street. More than half are former founders.
We’re fortunate to be backed by investors who share that vision, including @generalcatalyst who led our $15M Seed Round at a $300M valuation, as well as @chemistry, @svangel, @dvlamoen and individuals like @LiamFedus, @kevinweil, and @bernhardsson

me: i'll just build something small this weekend
also me, 12 hours later: exhausted my entire claude plan, ran security audits because the internet is apparently on fire, and overengineered it to scale to thousands of users (current users: 0)

The internet is genuinely falling apart at this point. Every time I refresh my feed, there's another security incident.
GitLab just patched a CVSS 10.0 RCE, affecting self-managed versions going all the way back to 2014.
GoDaddy is revoking 404,607 TLS certificates over certificate policy issues. Not a breach, but still a mess for affected websites.
eMudhra somehow generated 8 intermediate CA keys so weak their private keys could be recovered almost instantly from public certificates (please keep your browser updated).
Railway disclosed a security incident where attackers may have accessed encrypted customer environment variables and decrypted some of them.
OpenCode Console was breached, potentially exposing users' AI API keys.
And that's on top of LiteLLM, PHP RCEs, Next.js vulnerabilities, TiDB Cloud, Plex2Shell, BeyondTrust, and Ivanti.
There's barely enough time to read about one incident before another one drops. I'm sure I missed something in this list too.

As high as CVSS 9.0. Whoops.

we have f1 at home
In September, we published the TORCS Racing Bot task as part of FrontierSWE
Agents get 20h to build a bot that drives in a racing simulator as fast as possible, using only visual inputs. We are sharing a more detailed analysis and interesting findings from models' attempts

my english teacher once said english would be the most important subject for my engineering career.
turns out she was right.
