Funding & M&A

Mercor’s Brendan Foody calls out Sequoia, accusing it of ‘dual-pricing’ valuation tricks

Recently, multiple AI founders have exposed their treatment by investment institutions on X platform, with Mercor co-founder Brendan Foody directly calling out Sequoia's "dual valuation" strategy. The firm invests large capital at a low favorable valuation while using a high headline valuation to guide the market and employees. For example, AI assistant startup Serval's $750 million Series B had a nominal valuation of $10 billion, but the actual pre-money valuation was below $4 billion. Redpoint employed a similar structure in the Aaru project. Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire argues this is market reality, not intentional deception. Such dual-track pricing mechanisms not only inflate a company's perceived value but can also guide angel investors. Meanwhile, founders are also accused of fabricating growth by overstating ARR data. This behavior has sparked deep industry reflection on transparency and trust mechanisms.

The company's flagship World verification project uses silver orb scanning devices to collect human iris data, aiming to distinguish humans from bots and support Worldcoin cryptocurrency transactions. It has previously raised $2.5 billion from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital, at a $2.5 billion valuation. However, the company faces revenue difficulties and has been subject to regulatory penalties in Kenya, India, Hong Kong, and other regions over privacy and financial issues. U.S. companies like Tinder, Zoom, and Docusign have partnered with it.

OpenAI confidentially files its IPO paperwork as it inches closer to stock market debut

LLMs and almost good code

Recent research shows that top large language models (LLMs) can generate code that is up to 10% more complex than necessary for simple tasks. In a work project, the author used an LLM to generate a 24-line function that was functionally correct and had tests covering all edge cases, but its complexity was still too high. Ultimately, the author reduced complexity by about 8% through reimplementation, reflecting on the long-term maintenance issues that can arise from accepting overly complex code.

Rotation revisited: Shuffling more than three blocks, and other small notes

In the non-contiguous exchange problem, reducing the number of rotations from three to two shows that the solution can be generalized to shuffling any number of variable-sized blocks: for k blocks with total size n, shuffling can be done in at most kn swaps. Although there is discussion of using the XOR trick for swapping, it does not help with moving variable-sized blocks. Additionally, the algorithm's space complexity is described as "constant space," meaning the amount and size of required space is a bounded constant, not dynamic memory allocation.
