The US government just ordered Anthropic to cut off Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for every foreign national.
Model governance is coming.
Until now, there has been no reliable way to enforce AI model access at the employee level:

We are so excited to announce @merge_api's $55 million Series B, led by @Accel, with participation from our existing investors @NEA and Addition!

to the person who said that we would never close a specific, huge, company-defining deal.
fuck you. we closed it this morning.
startups are about hope and persistence. startups are about getting punched in the face, stabbed in the back, and still getting up.
this is why you'll never be a successful founder. this is why you didn't cut it at an earlier stage startup.
you're dead to me. and you were wrong.

Exactly four years ago, I biked over to @GilFeig's apartment in San Francisco and we started @merge_api!
On our first day, we printed out our incorporation docs, took a call with SVB to set up our bank account, and started coding the initial MVP for Merge.
Back then, we had no competitors, no roadmap, no team members... I didn't even really remember how to code. In between pull requests, we would make extremely caloric waffles, use Gil's very inefficient tech-enabled embroidery machine to make sweaters for candidates, and occasionally play Age of Empires at the end of the day.
We then fundraised when COVID just started and the fundraising environment was not great. It wasn't an easy process for us, and most people just didn't get it.
But everything ended up working out, and I'm so grateful for the team we recruited at Merge -- I couldn't imagine us getting here today without all of them.
Happy four years of Merge!!

Before @merge_api started, @GilFeig + I talked to ~100 companies to get feedback.
3 companies said they would never use Merge + that we should probably give up on the idea.
As of this week + exactly 1 year after coming out of stealth, all 3 companies are now customers.

"Drop the 'API'. It's cleaner." Ok, done.
We just shipped one of our biggest updates yet at @merge_api. Our API is now optional.
Previously, customers had to use Merge's Unified API to pull data from their systems. Now, we push it straight to your database or warehouse — clean, normalized, and ready to use. ✨
No more polling. No more custom scripts. Just data, delivered.

during the first few months of @merge_api, all i did was relearn how to code so that i could contribute to the company as a full-stack software engineer
grateful for @GilFeig (best engineer i know) and his investment in me as his cofounder
Actually, I think CEOs should be technical too. I’ve no idea how people who can’t reason deeply about technology is supposed to do this job. It’s hard enough with that ability.

This one was a huge pain in the *** to build.
We just launched @merge_api's newest Unified API: Knowledge Base, starting with @Atlassian Confluence. @NotionHQ and @salesforce Knowledge coming soon!!
Knowledge Base feels like a simple category, until you actually try to build it. Our team had to normalize messy page hierarchies, respect ACLs across deeply-nested spaces, and sync thousands of articles without overloading 3rd party APIs.
Why do it? Because enterprise AI needs context. And that context lives in your customers’ knowledge base.
Huge shout out to @yashgogri1, Jacob Kochian, Allegra Aguiar, Nicola Morris, Abraham Chen, Rohan Konnur, Matthew Ho, Andy Zhou, and everyone at Merge who worked on this category seamless for our customers to use.
