this one is a banger by frontrun
anybody selling data rn is noticing a pattern:
the customers are increasingly enterprises that want to fix their agents
evals are going to be a 100B+ market, because an eval is what makes ai deployable to production yes, but also what lets you hillclimb outcomes, and is also an rl task at the same time
rn the major buyers are frontier labs. but not forever!!
ex-@GoogleDeepMind gemini post-training. ex-@mercor.
now they're fixing ai agents in production, and the company has 2 followers: @Convergent_Dev
@OmkarSavant_ and @debnilsur turn production agent failures into evals, then fix them.

✅ Catherine Wu (@_catwu) has been traded to OpenAI
Some news: I’m joining OpenAI to lead product management for Core Products!
I have a lot of respect for OpenAI for showing the world that scaling works, for bringing AI to over a billion people, and for believing great products are core to the mission.
I’m excited to work with @thsottiaux, an incredible PM team, and everyone across OpenAI. Together, we’ll build agents that have your back and your team’s, and keep you in control, so you get more time for the people and work you love.
Lots to learn, and lots to build. Please keep your feedback coming!

@frontrunvc reads @X follow data to find startups, stealth founders and accelerator cohorts early.
it also flags people worth following in tech before they build anything. we call it convergence: a sudden surge of follows.
