2/ Thrive Holdings owns and operates services businesses core to the real economy.
The team works with the practitioners closest to the work to rebuild these businesses around AI, from the inside out.

9/ Excited for what we build next.
Thrive Holding’s Long Humans post goes deeper on the thesis behind the company:

8/ My role is to help with that loop: technical direction, real-world measurement, and turning what we learn in deployment into faster product and model improvements.

7/ OpenAI’s equity stake in Holdings also makes the alignment unusually strong.
Deployment informs product. Product informs research. Research improves models. The loop gets tighter the deeper the work gets.

6/ OpenAI and Thrive Holdings are already working closely together.
One example: the tax agents we recently built with Codex.

3/ I think this is where a lot of the next AI progress will become real.
Not in abstract demos, but in messy workflows where the whole company is willing to change around the technology.

4/ As models get better, more of the hard part moves into the last mile.
What should be built? How do you know if it’s working? How do you keep changing course as the technology improves?

5/ You can’t answer that from the outside.
You need real companies, real workflows, real users, and real constraints.

@BorisMPower Is your work not busy enough that you need a second job? @markchen90 maybe this guy needs a pay raise.

@BorisMPower Agree.
Even when targetting singular processes/tasks, there can be significant infrastructure changes necessary to support the process changeover. Digitizing, exposing gapped information systems, creating new processes and verifying accuracy/reliability....
