    Congratulations to the @centai_health team!
    Shashank ND @shashanknd
    Today we’re announcing Cent's $15M Series A, co-led by @BlumeVentures and @spc , and our acquisition of AI radiology platform Medsee. When you look at how healthcare works in India, almost all of it is organised around the moment someone falls ill. Hospitals, doctors and insurance are all paid to treat, and very little of the system is built to look for disease in people who feel well. It’s a big reason most cancers here are still found at stage 3 or 4. We started Cent to work on the other side of that problem. Over the last year, about 10,000 people have come to us without symptoms. 1 in 4 had something worth acting on, and 1 in 40 needed to see a doctor right away. Very few of them had any reason to suspect it. Finding disease this early, for millions of people, takes technology built for the purpose. This round lets us invest more deeply in our own hardware, AI and clinical research, and Medsee brings a strong AI reporting team into that work. Our goal is 10 million scans by 2035, and through them, helping save 1 million lives. Thank you to @BKartRed , @prateekmehta42 , Arun Sarin, @snsf , @sharathk83 , @krishna_srd and @AprameyaRadhaK for backing us, and to our team and every member who has trusted us with their health.

    RT @adityaag: The biggest risk to American AI is scaring ourselves into slowing down. Fear is a policy choice. So is building. Had a great conversation with @sriramk at @spc last week.

    RT @svlevine: I had a fun conversation with @adityaag at SPC a few weeks ago.
    Aditya Agarwal @adityaag
    “The universe is really big, and almost none of it is inside computers.” When a problem is hard, make it bigger. @svlevine put a room full of robots in a repurposed Google conference room and had them grasp objects all day. It worked. Then it hit a wall: lots of experience, no prior knowledge. That wall became @physical_int. This conversation at @spc was awesome. I learned a lot!

    With open models, we can build safety tooling directly into the inference layer. Our CEO and co-founder @tuhinone sat down with @kr00ney at @cnbc to discuss Project Beacon, and our work with @GoodfireAI to make safety the default for open intelligence.

    RT @adityaag: Some of the biggest advances in AI have come from solving many problems together, rather than training specialized systems for individual tasks. @svlevine (@physical_int) talks about the same principle for robotics. Make the problem bigger.

    RT @adityaag: Robotics is going through the same shift LLMs did: from fine-tuning, to prompting, to just telling the model what you want. @svlevine talked about how π0.7 learns new skills from plain-language coaching.

    RT @jqdsouza: We’re betting our $5.5M seed round that the next leap in AI coding won’t come from OpenAI or Anthropic. It’ll come from a new feedback loop that learns from you. Introducing Beacon: open-source, self-improving memory for coding agents. Your sessions capture how you debug and solve problems. Today, that context gets lost and you have to re-explain things every time you switch tools. Beacon continuously distills your sessions into reusable skills across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 20+ harnesses, so your next agent can learn from the last. Beacon is free and OSS 🌟 Why should the frontier labs be the only ones winning with your sessions? You already did the work. Now let your coding agents learn from you.
