    @gregisenbergInside Instinct AI, the $10B invite only personal agent app. Is it worth trying? https://youtube.com/watch?v=mUAsaprJ66s
    @jbahrdestefanoWow... Instinct in talks to raise at a $10B val, @sequoia + @benchmark looking to lead (@theinformation) 100k+ users, free product, hitting capacity limits + heavy compute costs so they need $$$ Val trajectory: $100M → $500M → $2.5B → ~$10B in a few mos! W/ no revenue... 🤯 Longer term they want to buy their own chips + run their own data centers https://www.theinformation.com/articles/ai-agent-startup-instinct-talks-10-billion-valuation

    @DanielleFong1% of this is 100MM. which is honestly, great as far as history if you're adjacent to some AI bottleneck, like power capacity, memory, photonic links, or perhaps safe computing environments, you can go higher. the days of <$20MM valuation if you are "Deep" tech are ending. tbh
