    Building Embra, the all-in-one AI that understands your business. Angel Investor. Past: Stripe (Banking), Founder of Jobstart (Acquired).

    Excited to share some progress we’ve made! There are too many narrow, less capable tools out there. We don’t believe you need another AI assistant. That’s why we’re building an AI operating system. Meet the new Embra. 1) Embra connects to your apps, such as meeting providers & gmail. From this stream of work data, you can set up Embra to analyze/process this information, think and learn. RAG is outdated. It's not about searching a corpus of data. It's about generating analysis & reports. 2) Also from this stream of data, Embra can do work for you. Work like: - Generate beautiful meeting notes w/ different templates - Understand a whole deal & send nudge emails - Automate follow-up emails based on convos + research - Research competitors when mentioned 3) We’ve found that if you have 4+ meetings per day and engage in all the best-practices (email, research, organize data, action items), it takes about an hour a day. With Embra, it takes 5 minutes. And you can cancel a bunch of subscriptions. 4) This is just the start! We’re expanding our closed beta today to support 1,000 new users, and are aiming for a much bigger announcement come January. :) Sign up at https://embra.ai

    Models are what they eat, so let's get them some better data. Exciting launch from Outset portco DatologyAI of their state-of-the-art data curation pipeline, enabling companies training models to train faster, train better, and train smaller. (and, of course, they're hiring)

    Models are what they eat: high quality data lead to high quality models, enabling faster training of better models with fewer parameters. However, identifying and curating high quality data at scale, automatically, is an incredibly challenging problem requiring deep expertise. Our goal at DatologyAI is to make state of the art data curation accessible to anyone who wants to train a model, and we’ve been hard at work realizing this vision over the last year. On a personal note, I am so proud of the incredible work our small, but mighty team has accomplished, and today, I’m incredibly excited to share our first set of results at DatologyAI! We focused on contrastive models (ala CLIP) trained on the large-scale DataComp dataset, and the results we’ve been able to achieve have exceeded our already high expectations! Train Faster - Training on DatologyAI’s optimized dataset, we were able to reach the same performance with up to ~98% less compute, meaning that models cost dramatically less to train and train dramatically faster! Train Better - Models trained on our optimized data for the same compute budget achieve up to 13 absolute percentage points better performance relative to models trained on raw data. Train Smaller - Train models with >60% fewer parameters to better performance by training on our curated data. Check out our high-level blog post here (https://shorturl.at/jkYqk), and if you’re interested in all the nitty, gritty details, check out our technical deep dive here (https://shorturl.at/Mt0k9). We are so excited about these results, and we are just getting started! Stay tuned for more exciting results on text models coming very soon!
