So excited to be in business with the incredible folks at @flappyairplanes!
@amspector100 @spectorb @aidanmantine have assembled an insanely talent-dense team and we @CRV are thrilled to be along for the ride 😊
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.

Mercury Payroll is live. You make the hire, Mercury handles the rest.
It’s AI-powered payroll with white-glove compliance support, built into your Mercury account. Try it today: mercury.com/payroll

Hiring your first employee is one of the biggest moments for a founder. But payroll, taxes, benefits, and compliance are far more complicated than they need to be.
Now with AI we can make the pain of payroll go away.
@Mercury Payroll* launches today!

First $1B: software that made finances simple.
Next $1B: agents that do the financial work for you (with the right controls, of course).
And the next billion is going to come a lot faster.
What you expect from banking* is about to change.
Excited to announce @Mercury crossing $1bn/yr in revenue and 450k customers.
Just getting started!

I've been very fortunate to invest in a handful of companies at seed or Series A that have gone from zero to $1bn+ in revenues. Today Mercury joins the list. @immad and team are incredible and even at $1bn+ in revenues, the company is still just getting started. CONGRATS🚀🚀🚀

Today, we announce our $25M fundraise to build the future of creative work.
For all of history, what you could create was dictated by the resources accessible to you.
That's why we built @trymelius, the agents lab for creatives, to tear down that constraint and let agents leverage generative models to bring all your ideas to life.
So that anyone can make anything.
Huge thanks to @yuris at @generalcatalyst and @verorellana02 + @reidRMC at @CRV for leading the round, and to @gefkovicz + @benmtaft at @geniusventures, @amosk1120 + @adamvalkin at @VineVenturesLP, @jakepaul + @geoffwoo at @antifund, @rauchg, @bykahlil and many more amazing investors for taking a bet on us.

This is the how we will interface with AI. And it is happening!!!! Congrats @tavus!!!!
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Community note
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

This is insane
Nearly half of the people who spoke to Griffin didn’t know they were speaking to an AI model
Honestly there are so many NPCs on big zoom calls just listening, taking notes, and saying “nothing from my end” so this AI is probably more helpful to listen in / follow up with basic questions on calls without wasting your colleagues time

After so many demos, models, pilots, robots are still struggling to land real deployments with real customers. Until now.
Today we’re excited to share that our robots have successfully crossed the ROI threshold, and Din Tai Fung, one of the highest revenue per location restaurant chain in the US, is rolling out Dyna robots across its extensive restaurant network.
This brings our rollouts across hotels, logistics, data centers, and many other use cases to a fleet that reaches hundreds of robots by the first half of 2027. And we’re just getting started.
It’s been a wild year, and today we’re double clicking on the battlefield stories and sharing a few learnings about scaling robot deployments. We are just scratching the surface.

1/ Today, we’re launching real-time payments (RTP): instant, always-on money movement, 24/7, weekends and holidays too.
Pay someone at 9pm on a Friday, it lands by 9:01.
Many banks don’t even know US RTP are possible (lots of banks don’t offer it). Its now live on Mercury.

Signups are now open on Code[dot]Storage.
Today, more new repos are created per second on Code Storage than any other platform.
Lovable, Bolt, Amp, Poke, and many more of the largest agentic workloads store their code and agent memory at scale using Code.Storage.
