Will AI bend the curve in medicine? How can humans and health harness the models to accelerate progress?
That was a key theme at the Deerfield x GV AI Forum, where we brought together healthcare founders, researchers, and leaders to talk about the next generation of medicine.

Congrats to the @FlutterFlow team on the launch! Now you can go from prompt to prod. Then iterate, ship, repeat. 🔁
Introducing the new FlutterFlow.
Build native mobile apps with AI, from your first prompt to the App Store and Google Play.
Describe what you want. Guide the agent as it builds your UI, backend, and authentication. Refine, test, and ship.
The visual builder you know is now FlutterFlow Studio. We're continuing to build and invest in it.
Two ways to build. More people empowered to create.

.@useblacksmith saw a way to build and test code faster using gaming CPUs. GV General Partner @ejn saw a team and idea worth backing at their inception round.
Watch Erik share what caught his attention and why he became the first investor to offer them a check.

Huge congrats to @btaylor, @claybavor, and the entire Sierra team on this huge milestone!🔥
We now serve almost 50% of the Fortune 50, and their ambition is driving our growth. Today, we hit $400M+ in ARR, adding over $150M+ in ARR in Q3 alone - that's more in one quarter than we generated all of last year. Also, our growth is accelerating: we took 6 months to double from $100M to $200M ARR, and only 5 months to double from $200M to $400M. Read more: sierra.ai/blog/our-customers…

Congrats to GV portfolio company @Adapter on partnering with @SpaceX Super Intelligence to bring its technology to Grok Bot and Grok Build.
Grok understands the universe. With Adapter Mind it can understand yours before the first token. Less searching, more doing.
We are a proud Launch Partner of the SpaceX Super Intelligence (@SpaceXSI) Partner Network alongside some of the most inspiring names in technology 🚀
Huge news from @OpenEvidence.
@MSKCancerCenter is one of the world's leading cancer centers, has partnered with @OpenEvidence to bring MSK's expertise to oncologists nationwide.
An amazing example of where @OpenEvidence is having real world impact on cancer patients nationwide!
Over 85% of oncologists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center use OpenEvidence.
Together, @MSKCancerCenter and OpenEvidence have built OncoKB, MSK’s expert interpretation of a tumor’s genetics, directly into OpenEvidence, putting it in the hands of oncologists across the United States.
As Dr. Anaeze Offodile puts it: “Our mission is to end cancer for life.” As of today, we are widening OncoKB’s reach so that patients everywhere benefit from the same rigor as patients at MSK. Watch the story.
The @recursive_si team just introduced Flint, a state-of-the-art local coding model. Flint is 2x faster than comparable models and was built in under four months — an impressive pace from an equally impressive team. Congrats @RichardSocher and the Recursive team!
Introducing Flint, @Recursive_SI’s first model: a fast local coding model built with our automated research system, the Eureka Machine.
• Best-in-class fast local coding
• Up to 2x faster than comparable models: 125+ tokens/sec on a MacBook Pro, 150+ on RTX Spark
• Built from scratch in under 4 months
Private, unmetered intelligence on your own machine. Open weights available now on @huggingface, run it locally on your favorite framework or try it for free on @opencode or @pidotdev.
In 2025, we agreed to lead @flappyairplanes' inception round over a glass of milk and a plate of sushi that may or may not have included the second vegetable that Ben had ever eaten in his life.
Flappy's team is brilliant and contrarian. Our thesis is that their breakthroughs in data- and compute-constrained environments will propel the American AI economy forward. It continues to be a privilege teaming with @spectorb and @amspector100 on this journey and we're honored to support them as the company's largest institutional investor. We look forward to partnering with them as they continue to fly ✈️
