Today we're launching @SpellbookLegal's biggest thing yet: Autonomous Contract Management It’s the first end-to-end AI infrastructure for contracts The world is speeding up. We are in one of the biggest investment cycles in decades. Behind every rocket launch, FIFA game, and datacenter, lies a web of hundreds of agreements. Agreements are the invisible threads that allow us to work together. We have infrastructure for finance (Stripe, Ramp), eCommerce (Shopify) and many business functions. But agreement infrastructure is lacking. This creates a painful bottleneck on our ability to work together. Online purchases take milliseconds. But agreements still take weeks. CLMs were supposed to be the answer, but were designed in a pre-AI era. AI fundamentally changed how computers can accelerate agreements. Spellbook is the most used AI contract review tool in the world, with ~5,000 customers in 80 countries Now we are expanding to deliver the first end-to-end, AI native stack for contracts. From the moment a deal lands in your inbox, to the day it renews years later, Spellbook’s AI supports teams every step of the way, across all business teams. It runs 24/7. While you sleep, it's reading the deals that came in overnight, flagging the parts that actually need a lawyer, and clearing the busywork that used to kill mornings. Nothing gets handed off between systems or slips after signature, and the intelligence stays with you for the life of the contract. AI for lawyers is great. There are 20 million lawyers in the world, and many are our users. But there are billions who touch contracts. We're excited to help everyone move faster and do more of what they love, by building the best AI-powered contract infrastructure in the world. Get early access: spellbook.com/acm

AI's energy bottleneck isn't electricity. It's getting power to the right place at the right time.
AI will create a future of abundance almost beyond imagining. But that future runs on enormous amounts of power, and the grid cannot deliver it fast enough. The linear generator can. My piece in Fortune: fortune.com/2026/06/30/vinod…

Congrats to @berman66 and the team on @runlayer's $30M Series A. Enterprises want to go all in on AI, but the moment agents start acting, most teams can't see what they're doing or stop one going rogue. Runlayer is the golden path: enablement, security, and control in one platform. After backing the team at the seed, we're doubling down because governance isn't a tax on AI adoption. We see it as the unlock. Read the feature in @FortuneMagazine from @LilyMaeLazarus 👇
Fortune featured @Runlayer and interviewed our CEO, Andrew Berman, on our latest fundraise, the future of AI enablement, and how Runlayer is the “Switzerland business, a neutral, cross-provider control layer” for the future of agents performing work. Link in the first reply.

Last week, @ScaledCognition announced its $100M Series A. We led the round because in any industry where an agent takes a real action, a wrong answer is the only thing that counts - and they've built the model that won't give you one. The two Dans have taken the harder road, building a new architecture instead of putting a layer on top of a frontier model, to fix AI's reliability problem. Over the next year, companies running on their models are on track to automate more than a billion customer interactions. Congrats to @roth_dan, @profdanklein, and the entire team.
Our CEO @roth_dan joined @vkhosla on @FoxBusiness today where @LizClaman asked what got @vkhosla so excited about @ScaledCognition. He summed it up perfectly: "It was pretty simple, reliability is as important as intelligence when it comes to AI systems" 🎦 Full interview: lnkd.in/g7ApKRd9 🅰️ scaledcognition.com/series-a

Most AI today has learned to see the world. The harder and more valuable problem is teaching it to predict what happens when someone acts in it. @gen_intuition is building the large action foundation models that do exactly that, trained on billions of clips from over 17M monthly active users on Medal. Congrats to the team on their $320M Series A. Large action models are the next big leap, and this category will produce several of the most valuable companies in AI. We're backing General Intuition because it's built to lead them.
Announcing our $320M Series A at a $2.3B valuation, led by @khoslaventures, with @generalcatalyst, @ericschmidt and @JeffBezos. General Intuition is the frontier lab for acting in space and time. We build large action foundation models trained on billions of ground truth action-labeled gameplay clips from 17M monthly active users on Medal, and push the frontier of world models to generate infinite training environments.

I am betting on this winning the world model race with human like intuition emerging in this model. Uncanny the range of things it can do. Can it win a formula 1 race soon?

Most enterprise AI is a co-pilot that makes you incrementally faster. @conveyAI built something different: AI teammates that own the outcome and run operations unattended. Over a million hours of work already done and customers like NBCUniversal, Samsara, and TelevisaUnivision. Congrats to @rohanbchopra and the team on their $38M Series A! We're proud to have backed Convey at the seed and are doubling down because they're building the AI workforce enterprises actually trust.
We’re announcing a $38M Series A led by @a16z. 1 million hours of automated work behind us. Millions more ahead. The future belongs to the 100x operator.

In tax, law, finance, and healthcare, a wrong answer isn't a hallucination. It's a liability. We're proud to have led @PramaanaLabs' $27M seed and to be backing a team building AI that's provably correct, not probabilistically correct: every output ships with mathematical proof.
Today, I'm thrilled to announce Pramaana's $27M seed, led by @khoslaventures. The foundational domains that hold the world together: tax, law, finance, healthcare; all run on certainty. Probabilistic AI can't give them that. We’ve been asked to accept wrong answers with AI as ‘hallucinations’, while in traditional software terms, it’s just a bug. And a wrong answer in such mission-critical domains is more than just a bug, it's a liability that could have catastrophic impact. We built Pramaana to deliver a 100% trustable experience to the domains that run on certainty: AI that is provably correct, not probabilistically correct. We turn statute and regulation into machine-verifiable code, so every output ships with mathematical proof of correctness. Our mission is to make AI take ownership of it’s work. Pramaana in Sanskrit stands for “means of valid knowledge”, and we’re going to achieve that by formalizing the world’s knowledge.

I'm a technology optimist. I’ve spent four decades studying disruptive innovation, from the microprocessor, the internet, mobile phones to OpenAI. I'm certain AI will do 80% of the economically valuable work humans do today, for 80% of all jobs, faster than most believe. The question isn't whether mass underemployment arrives, but whether we have a policy framework ready. Right now we don't.
We will need a new tax code for the wealth AI creates ft.trib.al/999yn2u

Great to see the launch @castformai! Long past due for a simple devtool that enables customization and post training
“don’t train your own model” is common ai advice. it's wrong. your token bill's the proof. today, we’re excited to launch castform into open preview. castform is the easiest way for you to train your own model, on your own data. open-weights models are performant and much cheaper. when trained on your task & proprietary data, they beat closed models. the thing standing between you and that was weeks of plumbing & years of ml expertise. with castform, model training is as simple as prompt engineering. @castformai bring your agent traces or raw corpora. castform turns it into training data, picks the right algorithmic recipes, manages gpus, and gives you an ide to watch and chat with your model as it learns. see what you can build with castform👇

I’m at @brainstormtech, and everyone is talking about world models. The real test: a model has to be accurate at scale. We're seeing it firsthand. Our foundation model for physics analyzed how advanced chips deform under heat for a leading US semiconductor company. 2 billion voxels, carrying geometry, materials, and predicting physics. Inference in 290 seconds. Accuracy validated against production data. Works out of the box. No post-training. AI for physics is the next frontier. Engineering, robotics, AVs, manufacturing, energy, and the entire hardware economy will run on models that compute how physical systems actually behave. Not approximate what they look like. Not hallucinate a plausible answer. Predict measurable reality.

Systems used to manage people now apply to the AI workforce: identity, role, access, budget, performance. Each AI coworker has a name, a mandate, a manager, and the tools to carry work from request to resolution. The existing workforce model, extended to AI. @atomicworkhq 👀 cc @khoslaventures

Legacy SaaS is telephone poles. Everyone's moved on. The infrastructure hasn't. Great analogy from Samir Kaul on why bolting AI onto old architecture isn't the same as building for it. @khoslaventures

Today, we're launching the Atomicwork AI Workforce, and we believe this is one of the most significant shifts in how enterprises get work done. For the past decade, organisations have been building AI into their workflows. But the unit of operation that enterprises are actually built on has never been a task or a workflow. It's always been a person. Someone who owns a role, shows up with context, asks for help when they need it, and gets better over time. Every dimension your organisation already uses to manage people applies to the Atomicwork AI Workforce. Identity, job role, access, budget, performance. An AI coworker has a name, a defined scope, a human manager, and the tools to see work through from start to finish. The operating model is the same one your organisation has run on for decades. What's changed is that the technology to make this real has finally arrived, and for the first time, all the pieces are ready at the same time and they compose. We're not asking teams to rethink how they work. We're giving them a workforce that works the way they already do. Read more about what this means for your organisation Welcome to the #AtomicworkForce! @amnigos @kirandarisi @parsurv @AparnaChugh @rwmesh @leningali

The future of mining, geothermal, and carbon storage starts with better subsurface intelligence. Congrats to @Terra_AI_HQ on building the AI-native platform for understanding what’s underground. Excited to continue our partnership with the team as they bring AI to one of the world’s largest industries.
We raised $20M in Series A to build the AI-native platform for subsurface modeling. The round was led by @khoslaventures with strategic investment from @bhp ventures. Read more: terraai.com/blog-post/buildi…
