Conferences aren’t about stages. They’re about engineered collisions between the right people. We are building those collisions at scale. Stay tuned for the next gen of tech events.

Everyone says attention is the scarcest resource. Few measure what it costs. Starting tomorrow, 8,000 people make Paris their priority. Not a tab in the background - flights booked, calendars cleared, OOO on. When someone running AI at a Fortune 500 blocks two full days, they’re betting the room beats the screen. My job is to win that bet. 10th and 11th time - @MACHINASUMMIT tomorrow, @RaiseSummit Wednesday. The pressure never shrinks. Good.

RAISE Week has kicked off 🚀 This weekend, builders from 60 different countries came together to build everything from a hands-free AI copilot that turns IKEA manuals into interactive 3D step-by-step guides to autonomous agents that generate photorealistic video-to-action robot training datasets straight from text. Next up, @MACHINASummit, Europe's leading summit for humanoid and robotics at @joinstationf. 7 July 🤖 Meet the sponsors powering RAISE 2026. Headlining it all: @IREN_LTD and @cognition. The diamond tier: @snyksec, @Nscale, @togethercompute, @cursor_ai, @lovable, and @Replit The infrastructure powering the frontier: @CoreWeave, @nebiusai, @Vultr, @weka, @SambaNovaAI, @baseten, @CrusoeAI, @DDNintelligence, @Supermicro, @AMD, Polarise, @FireworksAI_HQ, @Cerebras @Rebellions_inc and more. The Builder's Toolkit: @OpenAI, emma, @elevenlabs, @FactoryAI, Fundamental, @meetgamma, @traversal_ai oxylabs, @ExaAILabs, Alice, @Google, @blackboxai and the rest of the AI native & Dev Tools Stack. The enterprise financial backbone: @BankofAmerica, @Stripe, @rubrikInc, @elastic, @Vintage_Inv, and more. 9,000 attendees. 2,000 companies. 350 speakers. 80% C-level and founders. The room is set. The names are locked. See you all in Paris this July 4-10 🇫🇷

I wouldn't have believed you 7 days 7 pictures (real ones, not AI :-) As pictures beats words, here are 7 illustrations how insane @RaiseSummit are going to be. If you had told me that after two editions we would have - The French President giving a special adress - The craziest speaker line up for an AI conference - Ringed the bell at the @NYSE - Sold out our exhibit floor months before the conference. - Hosted the iconic @theallinpod for the first time in Europe - Being featured on the iconic @Nasdaq building - Offered $10M prize in the startup competition I certainly wouldn't have believed you. When we launched Raise Summit we had the ambition to build the best AI conference in the world. What started with a wishful thinking is becoming reality. Come check it out by yourselves, next week, in the Chateau de Versailles and the Louvre.

Can you build a $100M startup without using Claude?
Can you build a $100M startup using only Claude?

Best sparring partner I've seen this year doesn't get tired - and doesn't trash-talk. Looks like a party trick. It's the hard part of physical AI: balance, footwork, real-time reaction on two legs. The cycle @MACHINASUMMIT is built for. July 7th @joinstationf

Our @RaiseSummit stage has been locked for weeks. We stopped taking speaker requests back weeks ago. Our floorplan is sold out for months already. I still get the asks. No room left on stage. The demand to be in the room is outrunning the room.

Everyone's still posting humanoid demo videos. The real signal: China just told its state firms to stop demos and put humanoids into real jobs by month's end. Same month, a German robotics company most can't name raised up to $1.4B at $7B - Amazon and Nvidia in. Physical AI already left the demo stage. Being early still counts - barely. That's exactly where @MACHINASUMMIT sits right now. Don't watch this one from the stands.

Nobody selling you AI right now actually knows where this goes. Not the labs. Not the VCs. Not me ;-) What we have instead is a pile of questions everyone's arguing about this week, and nobody can settle: — @satyanadella just warned that if all the value pools into a handful of frontier models, the system won't hold. So do you keep building on someone else's model, or own your own? — Anthropic just cut off its newest models to every non-American — on a U.S. government order. If a foreign government can switch your model off, can Europe afford to build on it? — @SpaceX IPO'd this week as an AI company — a trillion-dollar bet on data centers in orbit — while Anthropic and @Google reportedly pay it billions a month, combined, for compute. Is the compute crunch getting solved in space, or is that a rocket-shaped bubble? — Did model scaling hit a wall, or did we just get impatient? — Are AI agents real products, or expensive demos that fall apart by week three? — And the one nobody says out loud at dinner: how much of all this is a bubble? I don't run @RaiseSummit to answer these from a stage myself. I run it so the people who actually can are in one building for two days. July 8–9, Carrousel du Louvre: → @ylecun on whether today's models are even the right path → @mcuban on what he's backing, and what he's steering clear of → Nelson Griggs, President of @Nasdaq, on where the IPO wave goes next → @lqiao on what it really costs to run these models at scale → @antonosika on whether agents actually ship And on July 8, @theallinpod records its first-ever live show on European soil - @Jason on our main stage. 8,000 people building this, across 1,500 companies. Two days in Paris. You won't walk out with every answer. You'll walk out knowing which questions are worth your time, and who tends to be right. Come argue with us. Tickets agenda 👇 raisesummit.com/

Interesting.
Increasingly, I believe companies may need to be rebuilt from the ground up, where you have a single timeline of all observability product metrics file changes laid out in a retrievable system, like Datadog Posthog Google Drive Slack (really unified filesystem of Claude Code chats Codex chats). This might be the new data foundation for any and all companies to maximize AI. Needs to be rebuilt because keeping track of diffs on existing system basically impossible to produce longitudinal information on decisions and rollbacks, something coding agent storage companies are actively trying to figure out, but this should extend to businesses as a whole. Highly skeptical existing businesses will adopt this though because it means overhauling everything about their instrumentation and business data, but I think businesses built on this foundation probably can execute 100x better and faster

1/Last day of the price break for @RaiseSummit & @MACHINASUMMIT . So forget the price. Look at the program. Here's one day of AI in 2026, from the @Louvre. 2/The operators who each defined a chapter of this industry, on one stage: @PGelsinger . @paraga . @marceloclaure . @ScottWu46 (the team behind Devin). 3/Thread 1: the infrastructure nobody sees but everyone now depends on. Sovereign compute. Power. Cooling. The chips being built to replace the GPU. DDN, Vertiv, Arm, SambaNova, d-Matrix, NVIDIA and the people building Europe's own AI capacity. 4/Thread 2 agents leaving the lab for production. Decagon, Sierra, and the architecture of companies built around systems that act on their own. 5/Thread 3 : the builders. Cursor, Replit, Cognition. And the real question: what is a software team when the machine writes most of the code? 6/It closes with the AllInPodcast live from European soil for the first time. ElevenLabs. Black Forest Labs. 1X. Agility Robotics. Those last two point straight to Machina, the physical-AI event running alongside: robots, humanoids, industrial autonomy. 7/50 sessions. Three stages. The people actually doing the work not the ones who put AI on this year's conference calendar. Price break ends tonight. raisesummit.com/tickets

We were 12 months off. While most of us were scrolling humanoid backflip videos, the real story was happening somewhere less photogenic — procurement meetings and construction sites. Four signals from the last 30 days: → Schaeffler signed a binding deal for up to 2,000 humanoid robots across its global plants (supplied by UK startup Humanoid). → Japan Airlines started trialling @UnitreeRobotics humanoids at Haneda — baggage handling and cabin cleaning. → @Apptronik closed a $520M Series A extension. Total raised now past $935M. → Tesla broke ground on a dedicated Optimus factory at Giga Texas. 5.2M sq ft. Target: 27,000 units a day. First line online by August. Six months ago the industry called humanoid procurement a "2027 conversation." The buyers didn't wait. The robots work. The open question now isn't if, it's which foundation model ends up running them. Helix, SkildAI , π0, GR00T, or one of the vertically integrated stacks (Tesla, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik, 1X, AgiBot). That's why we built @MACHINASUMMIT . July 7, @joinstationf . One room: @BerntBornich (@1x ), Carolina Parada ( @GoogleDeepMind Robotics), @jeffcardn (@Apptronik ), Marc Raibert (@BostonDynamics / RAI Institute), Jonathan Hurst (@agilityrobotics ), Abhinav Gupta (@SkildAI ) - and 20 more. The people whose deployment decisions will define what factory floors look like for the next decade. Then July 8-9, Carrousel du Louvre, for @RaiseSummit . The procurement window just opened. Genuine question for the robotics people here: which model ends up running the floor - Helix, π0, GR00T, Skild, or a vertically integrated stack? Reply with your bet.

Not a pitch — a heads-up. In 48h, @RaiseSummit hits its last price break before Paris, July 8–9. 8,000 AI leaders. 1,500 companies. All-In live from European soil for the first time. LeCun, Cuban, Tenev. The busy people always register on July 7. Don't be that person. 48 hours raisesummit.com/tickets

The White House just confirmed a "breakthrough" on Trump’s Bitcoin strategic reserve. Patrick Witt won’t say more but called it "legally sound" and "properly safeguarded." The government that seized 200,000 Bitcoin from criminals is about to announce what happens next. Buckle up. @parisblockweek

Atlas just lifted a 100 pound fridge using whole body coordination, not just hands. Millions of hours of simulation training deployed in a day. The hands were never the hard part. The physics were. @machinasummit
