If you give @NASAAdmin an engine, he's going to climb in it. This is a new @NASA under @rookisaacman, and I'm here for it! 🇺🇸
Thanks to @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman and his team for visiting our Moses Lake Test Site recently! Great to show off hot fires of both our Andromeda and Zenith engines as they complete their qualification campaigns.

Build or buy AI? Wrong question. Lambda's @boborado is on the main stage at AI Infra Summit 2026 with @JLL CTO Yao Morin, @usbank EVP & Chief AI Officer Prashant Mehrotra, and @carrier Chief Data & AI Officer Arun Nandi, and the room's landing on the same answer: it's build AND buy. New term coined: valuemaxxing. Using value per task as a lens to govern resource allocation, while architecting around agility (easy model swaps) and availability (SLAs and model lifecycle).

Fantastic @PrimaryVC Tech Summit talk w/ @UbertiGavin, CEO of @Etched. Deep dive into the next generation of chips & compute AI infrastructure. The problem they set out to solve 4 years ago, and next phase as @Etched begins shipping. “The future is about owning the full stack”.

TrueFoundry has integrated Alibaba's Qwen model family into TrueForge, its open-source agent harness. Every model size, from sub-billion parameters to the 480B flagship, now sits behind a single API. Agent operating costs are roughly 50% lower than managed, single-vendor platforms.

Great to spend time with the @GlobalFoundries team at their event and connect with leaders across the semiconductor and photonics ecosystem. As we continue working with GF as a partner for our photonic chips, we’re excited about what’s ahead and the opportunity to advance photonics at scale. Thanks to the team for hosting us and for bringing together so many leaders shaping the future of semiconductor technology.

@Frost_Sullivan has named @truefoundry the 2026 Global Transformational Innovation Leader in enterprise AI control plane. Five years ago, we were still explaining to architects why AI needed its own control layer. Today, an independent firm defines the category and recognises us as the leader in this space. Thank you to our customers and our team.

"We squeezed a meter by a meter worth of optical modulators into a 5x5 millimeter area". That's the unlock the @neurophos team is working on. Listen to the full convo in today's episode with Patrick Bowen.
Today's episode is with @PatrickTBowen, CEO of @neurophos. We're thrilled to have him join us for a discussion about his journey from metamaterials to optical computing. Give it a listen!

I have so much respect for Jensen. He didn’t participate in the frenzy over the weekend, but waited to speak. And as usual, when he did speak, his words were sober minded, calm, and very rational.
JENSEN HUANG: “If you build a product or a service and you're not confident in its functionality, capability, or safety, then don't release it … The market forces are already there. We don't need any new laws. We don't need new regulations.”

@PatrickTBowen sees an opening the rest of the industry has missed: prefill, not decode, as the place optical compute wins first. That's the bet behind @neurophos . New episode of The Compute 100.
Today's episode is with @PatrickTBowen, CEO of @neurophos. We're thrilled to have him join us for a discussion about his journey from metamaterials to optical computing. Give it a listen!

Why The Harness Matters More Than The Model. They get dismissed as just scaffolding, just prompt engineering & not real research. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. The same model weights that score 30% on ARC-AGI score 95% with a better harness.youtu.be/n9xKblqyQ28?is=GCgY…

Frontier MoE models need massive scale-up clusters, but copper maxes out around 144 GPUs. Expanding to 512+ GPU pods usually requires 130K+ optical fibers, a challenge for costs, supply chains, and reliability. Bidirectional (BiDi) optics change the game by combining transmit and receive on a single fiber using two wavelengths: ⚡ 50% fewer cables & connectors ⚡ ~15% lower network spend ⚡ 50% fewer passive optical failure points ⚡ Zero compromise on bandwidth or reach As AI demands larger scale-up domains, BiDi is the path forward and Lightmatter has built it directly into its interconnect portfolio.
