Kathy Zhu liked thisKathy Zhu liked thisHere's one of the key lessons from 2 Ironmans & 4 marathons this year. I wanted to break 15 hrs at Ironman Waco in Oct. Failed. I wanted to break 15 hrs at Ironman Florida in Nov. Failed. I wanted to break 8-min miles on a half-marathon. Done. I wanted to break 7-min miles on a 5k with the kids. Done. I wanted to do a marathon with kids in the jogger. Done, but it was sloooooooooooow. I wanted to hit my weekly training plans. Failed. Too much going on with the business, family, and life in general. This made me step back and ask if I was setting reasonable expectations for where we are at in life and the business. It made me ask if we should even set big goals. Should we even pursue multiple big goals vs just one. Then I started to think big picture questions: 1. What if our time horizon was extended for business, family, non-profit, and athletic goals? 2. If there isn't a 25% chance of failure, is the goal big enough? 3. We're 38 y/o, with a 3 & 6 y/o. Did we live the best year that we possibly could? Was it all worth it this year? Sure, we didn't hit all our goals, but did far more than we thought was even possible last year. We love the process and journey of this more than the results...if we keep up the process, the results will follow, and we just need to be patient.

Through my career in Bloomberg, I enjoyed working on all various exciting projects, feeling the every beat of the global financial market, and I also greatly appreciated all the guidance, trust, support and friendship I got from all the wonderful people I work with. It’s hard to say goodbye, but I will carry my precious memories and valuable experiences to the new phase of my career! Looking forward to the brand new 2021!

Kathy Zhu liked thisKathy Zhu liked thisIt was great presenting at the #Digital Assets Symposium organized by W E Perry. For me, it was not just fun that I got to present what I consider as digital assets and what they could mean to us as I discussed in https://lnkd.in/dX9D75K and https://lnkd.in/dX9D75K recently but I got to observe how the phrase “digital assets” is taken by many people at the moment. Given today’s economy, having the kind of people who were at the event and probably because we are in New York, a lot of discussion that was held during the forum evolved around #crypto assets and #blockchain. If someone comes to ask you to talk about digital assets, what is your definition of it?

"Build the event you wish existed" That's what we at Monadical did last week at #NYTW. We wanted an AI Engineers discussion for Engineers. There's always a lot of events out there for VCs to network, or for startups to learn about G2M, but very little on lessons learned from actual engineers in the field. So that's the event we hosted. Big thank yous to our awesome panel, Roy Pereira, Ben Cohen and Corey J. Gallon. Here's the key takeaways and the AI tools we're using. 🚀 All three panelists independently called AI Agents the most transformative LLM application they’ve used. They specifically called out Claude 3.5 Sonnet for its accuracy and reliability. 🪨 We dug into how LLMs are “jagged”, not general. They can be shockingly good at some tasks and completely fail at others. Everyone agreed: good evaluations are critical (and hard.) 🧪 Corey noted how public benchmarks and reality are two different things. Most public evals are saturated or gamed. ♊ Ben emphasized that AI projects are actually two projects: building the tool and building the evaluation process. 🧱 We explored how falling dev costs may impact startup defensibility and labor demand. Roy shared that founders are already shifting strategies in response. ⚒️ In a world of daily AI launches, the panel discussed how they decide what’s worth attention, and what’s just noise. They called out tools like Goose, Aider, Claude Code, and Monadical’s own Cubbi, which helps run agentic workflows safely in dev environments. (links in the comments). CTA: What would you want to hear in an AI Applied Engineering talk you attended?

Honored and excited to partner with Drew Baglino and the incredible team at Heron Power as they re-imagine the electric grid for the modern world. Power in America is not zero sum. We deserve access to cheap and abundant electricity and we should win the AI race. And we must build the capacity to manufacture critical technology here at home. When faced with existential challenges, we deploy technology against them. And we win.

With RL techniques like GRPO, it’s become easy to fine-tune small models to outperform foundation models on vertical tasks. We’re open sourcing Osmosis-Apply-1.7B: a small model that merges code (similar to Cursor’s instant apply) better than foundation models. Links in comments! Using foundation models for high specificity, low complexity tasks like code merging can be overkill - instead, it’s better to use a specialized model instead for higher performance and latency. We fine-tuned the model on 100K real-world code commits where the model needs to merge a code edit snippet into an original code snippet. On the test dataset (subset of CommitPackFT), foundation model performance ranged between 0.77-0.93 reward score. In comparison, Osmosis-Apply-1.7B achieved a 0.98 reward score - while also being 3X-5X more affordable than the next cheaper model AND ~10X faster! Why this matters: the best AI agents use multiple models to ensure task specialization and reliability at scale - on top of cost and latency benefits as well. Links to the model and full write-up (with reward function, hyperparameters, etc.) are in the comments - reach out if you’re interested in using reinforcement learning!

Last time we saw a dip in venture fund raising activity was in 2013. No new funds means less startup funding, low employment, and slow economic growth. Thus on April 5, 2012, President @BarakObama signed, The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act), which enables Crowdfunding for Americans. Also read, Ms. Desai’s blog post from 2017 that critically examines the Crowdfunding landscape and outlines what more needs to be done: https://lnkd.in/eVFmCPEh Sincerely, NIN Ventures (Since 2013) PS: Watch Ms. Desai on why Crowdfund Venture Capital (or NIN Ventures):
