We’re excited to announce our partnership with Central Georgia EMC, deploying 50 MW of residential battery storage across the cooperative’s service territory. It’s our first utility partnership outside of Texas.
The program gives @CentralGAEMC a networked fleet it can dispatch 24/7, adding local capacity to support the grid. Members get automatic whole-home backup for $95, with no additional monthly costs.

There is an increasing advantage in being able to sample authentically across genres and tell stories between seemingly disconnected parts of cultural. Even a tenuous connection, as here, gives people another way into paying attention...

Meta are finding a good mix of serious and unserious without feeling overly corpo... They're playing loose.
The humor feels comfortable alongside the ambition.
That’s difficult to pull off (esp at Meta, who have often felt so carefully tailored and stiff and unsure). It certainly helps when the people involved seem to be having fun and can pull on interests/ideas/source beyond what they are announcing. cc @dtrinh

SECRETARY RUBIO on AMERICA.GOV: A passport is more than just a travel document. It's an expression of the unbreakable bond between the nation and the citizen.

AI leaders and governments are calling for independent audits and transparency. AIUC is answering the call.
They're already certifying Cursor, ElevenLabs, Harvey, and now frontier models while quickly building a name that sets the standard for alignment, trust, and quality.
The Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company has raised $55M to audit and insure frontier AI models.
Insurance produces audits the public can trust and understand. The mechanism is simple: insurers need audits to price the risk. They pick auditors they believe will help them price the risk most accurately. Insurers then turn the audits into a price signal that cuts through political debates. Insurers are aligned with the public: if they get the audits wrong, they go out of business. That’s different from today, where labs pick their own auditors, creating public distrust.
Insurance only works if we scale up auditing, and we are building the infrastructure to do that. Millions of agents are being deployed; they leave terabytes of traces and will create thousands of incidents across dozens of risk categories. To scale auditing, we need reliable agents to surface evidence traces for human review.
History guides us. Take cars: auto insurers funded crash tests to price risks; crash tests led us to airbags, lowering the risk. Take electricity: home insurers funded lightbulb tests to price fire risks; today, every lightbulb carries a safety mark. Nuclear safety works similarly.
We’ve been learning by doing.. In the last 6 months, we’ve audited and insured frontier agent builders like Cursor, ElevenLabs, Lovable and Harvey. For ElevenLabs to get the world’s first agent insurance coverage, a Lloyd’s of London insurer required quarterly technical audits by an auditor of the insurer’s choice. We’ve built infrastructure for quarterly technical audits of any agent, working alongside firms like Gray Swan (technical evaluations) and Schellman (audit).
In the coming weeks, we’ll share our vision for how an insurance ecosystem can work for the frontier, and open source the world’s first actuarial model for frontier AI catastrophic risk.
We’re hiring across all roles in San Francisco. Come do your life’s work with us.
Rune & Rajiv

If you were assembling a team to build the standard for evaluating AI, you’d want firsthand experience inside frontier labs, a deep understanding of insurance and incentives, and the independence to ask hard questions.
That’s Rune and Rajiv of AIUC.
@aiunderwriting already certifies agents from Cursor, KPMG, ElevenLabs, Harvey and many more. Now they’re extending their audits and insurance to frontier models.
We’re backing them to build something that outlasts any one generation of models: an institution both industry and the public can trust.
Proud to deepen our partnership with the team in their Series A.

artificial analysis re-ran their charts on their new search index and @p0 is even more dominant on the pareto frontier for quality, cost, and speed

A professor of mine once called the annual report one of graphic design’s highest forms: art direction, data visualization, typography, and grids in a single object… Cool to see them receive this kind of curation and display.
For most of the last century, companies hired serious designers, illustrators, and artists for the most boring document they published: the annual report.
I built an archive of 3000+ of them, spanning 1945-1991.
