The most dangerous man in tech isn't Elon Musk or Sam Altman.
It's the ex-CEO of Twitter that Musk fired.
He's been quietly building an AI empire that crushes Chat GPT-5.
Now he's about to unleash it.
Here's how Parag Agrawal just outplayed the entire AI industry: https://t.co/D7df3LoDbc
Who is Parag Agrawal?
Stanford PhD. Former Twitter CTO.
The engineer who built Twitter's AI recommendation engine that served 250 million users daily.
November 2021: He becomes CEO.
But 11 months later... https://t.co/dlpPEsAN2W
Elon Musk completes his $44 billion Twitter acquisition.
Within hours, security escorts Agrawal from the building.
No goodbye. No transition.
Just gone.
Then Musk tweeted this meme: https://t.co/jYLn48PKTS
The real insult came next.
Musk refused to pay Agrawal's $40 million severance. Called it "bogus."
The contract was clear: accelerated stock vesting upon termination.
March 2024: Agrawal files suit.
But while lawyers fought over millions:
Agrawal was building in stealth.
He assembled a team from Google, Stripe, and Airbnb.
Raised $30 million from Khosla Ventures.
No press. No announcements.
Then October 2024 happened: https://t.co/OoLUxaSzHv
Parallel Web Systems emerges from stealth.
The mission stunned Silicon Valley:
"We're building infrastructure for the web's second user: AI agents."
Not chatbots. Not language models.
Something nobody had attempted: https://t.co/YsTbQczxRI
Completely reimagining how AI uses the internet.
Why?
Because Agrawal discovered a $3 billion problem hiding in plain sight.
AI can't actually research the web.
The numbers were shocking:
GPT-5 fails 59% of the time pulling fresh data.
Google's Gemini hallucinates facts.
Claude invents sources that don't exist.
Companies lose billions on bad AI research.
Agrawal's solution broke every rule: https://t.co/nw1U3kZJPw
8 specialized research engines.
Not one model trying to do everything.
• Ultra1x: Results in 60 seconds.
• Ultra8x: Deep 30-minute analysis.
Each engine built for a specific depth and speed.
But the real breakthrough was trust:
Every result includes confidence scores.
Every fact has verifiable citations.
No more hallucinations. No more "maybe this is right."
The benchmarks destroyed the competition:
Parallel's accuracy: 58%
GPT-5: 41%
Google: 23%
Anthropic: 7%
A 17-point gap over GPT-5.
Parallel is in a different league...
The results speak for themselves:
• Millions of queries processed daily
• $450 million valuation in under a year
• Revenue already in double-digit millions
But here's the beautiful thing about this story...
Agrawal's name opened doors.
His legacy at Twitter gave him insights no one else had.
And this let him build AI that competes with the tech titans, from scratch.
