Hi Seedradar Squad! The administration is reportedly leaning on Wall Street to adopt Anthropic’s newest models, proving that federal backing is now the ultimate competitive moat. Meanwhile, Kepler just launched commercial compute clusters into low Earth orbit to help hyperscalers bypass terrestrial power bottlenecks entirely.

Back down on earth, legacy industries are aggressively automating their biggest bottlenecks. Slate pulled a massive round to accelerate the next stages of production this year, while Patlytics is quietly gutting the traditional patent lifecycle so legal teams can ditch the grunt work. We're watching the end of translation layers and the rise of pure, hard-coded execution.

Patlytics is an end-to-end AI platform automating the entire patent lifecycle. Using domain-specific AI, it handles the heavy lifting of complex IP tasks—from application drafting to infringement analysis—cutting project times by up to 80%.

Trusted by over 40% of the Am Law 100 and backed by a fresh $40M Series B, Patlytics frees legal teams to drop the manual grunt work and focus purely on high-stakes strategy and litigation.
