Thrilled to see Meta — Thomas Scialom, PhD, Grégoire Mialon, and the brilliant Meta Agents team — launch 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗮𝟮, built within their new 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗟 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 platform! Gaia2 sets a new bar for agent evaluation by testing models in dynamic, real-world conditions, where APIs timeout, priorities shift, and unexpected friction derails even the smartest systems. The ARE RL Environment framework is designed to 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 in environments that look and feel like the real world. (After all, in this day and age, winning IMO medals is a challenge of the past. It’s deploying models into the rich, long tail messiness of the real world that’s the golden frontier.) Two years ago, Meta pioneered this vision with 𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗔, a benchmark we were proud to help build. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating again on 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗮𝟮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗥𝗘, creating the diverse scenarios and data that helped bring these ideas to life — with a team at Meta that recognized the importance of RL environments long before they became the hot new kid on the block. We’ve always believed that training models is only half the story. Measuring them — with the right objectives, in the right environments — is just as critical. Who cares if a model gets better at the wrong thing? 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗮𝟮 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆. We’re excited to keep collaborating toward powerful, reliable AI that works even in the chaos of the real world. Congrats to the Meta team! https://lnkd.in/eF5NRVuF

I was delighted to participate in two panels at IPEM this year—one on “How AI is rewriting the PE playbooks” alongside Gaël Gibert from Advent and Guillaume Princen from Anthropic, and another on “Investing in the AI revolution” with Lauriane Requena from KKR and Astrid Moullé-Berteaux from Headline. At Seven2, we see AI not as a buzzword, but as a true industrial revolution—akin to electricity in its transformative potential. The real opportunity for private equity isn’t in chasing the next unicorn, but mostly in helping established companies harness AI to drive operational excellence and margin expansion. Our focus is on the “boring” but powerful applications of AI: automating repetitive tasks, optimizing processes, and leveraging proprietary data to revisit business models and create defensible advantages. The question for investors is not whether AI will change the landscape, but whether you want to own the companies before or after that transformation. We’re building the next generation of AI-enabled market leaders and keep an eye on AI-native companies that combine robust AI applications with high-value services. These businesses are particularly attractive for LBO: they already generate EBITDA, have a clear and growing role in supporting traditional companies to adopt AI, and are resilient against being displaced by hyperscalers. Stay tuned for more on how we’re putting this vision into action. #IPEM #PrivateEquity #AI #ValueCreation #Seven2

CEO of Shanghai-based marketing agency Mediastorm, Tim Pan, made headlines worldwide by gifting brand new iPhone 17 Pro Max devices to every single employee — including interns and fresh hires — and even paid all the taxes, making the gift completely free. 💯 His gesture quickly went viral on Chinese and global social media, earning him the title of “Best Boss Ever.” 👏 Beyond just luxury gadgets, Tim Pan’s move sparked a bigger conversation about the power of employee appreciation. Many are now asking: how far can recognition and thoughtful rewards go in shaping workplace culture, boosting motivation, and increasing loyalty among staff? This act shows that valuing employees isn’t just about perks — it can transform the way people feel about their work and their company. #startupsmedia #bestbossever #employeeappreciation #workplaceculture #motivation #leadershipgoals #employeerewards #viralstory
