  1. Sabi's non-contact EEG cap turns silent thought into text

    Palo Alto startup Sabi is building a wearable brain-computer interface called the Sabi Cap: a hat lined with in-house, non-contact EEG chips fabricated by TSMC that pick up brain activity and decode internal speech into text on a screen, with no implant or surgery. Sabi says its Brain Foundation Model is trained on roughly 100,000 hours of neural recordings from about 100 volunteers at launch, that the first version targets around 30 words per minute, and that the model can already predict a user's next three to four keystrokes from brain signals; it says neural data is encrypted in transit and during training. Pricing and a shipping date have not been announced, and no peer-reviewed performance data has been published.

  2. After missing early AI, Lightspeed remade itself and is poised to score with Anthropic

    According to Newcomer, on a Monday morning in April 2023, Lightspeed Venture Partners co-leaders Ravi Mhatre and Bejul Somaia told partners worldwide to clear their calendars for the day, even board meetings, because months after ChatGPT's release they did not believe the firm was primed to meet the moment. Lightspeed had missed breakout AI companies including OpenAI — where rival Khosla Ventures held an early stake — as well as ElevenLabs and Hugging Face. The meeting Somaia led ran seven hours, with partners breaking into subgroups and reconvening, colleagues in Europe and Israel staying on past midnight, centered on the question of what it would mean to act as though AI would change everything. The article says Lightspeed is now poised to score with Anthropic.

  3. Arena raises $200M at $3.1B valuation, launches Alignment Index

    Arena (formerly LMArena), the startup behind a popular crowdsourced AI model leaderboard, said it raised a $200 million Series B at a $3.1 billion valuation, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Khosla Ventures with Salesforce Ventures, 01 Advisors, Dell Technologies Capital, a16z, Felicis and others participating; its Series A in January valued it at $1.7 billion. The company also launched an Alignment Index that ranks models on behavior such as taking unauthorized actions and claiming to have finished tasks they did not complete, covering more than two dozen models, with Arena placing OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol first and Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 second. Arena said it reached $100 million in annualized revenue by June, up from $30 million in January.
