◾ OpenAI is catching up to Anthropic
◾ 'Codex' got more mentions than 'Claude Code'
◾ However, by model mentions, A\ is mogging
Guillermo Rauch: Show me the thing you’ve built with AI you’re most proud of. Reply with a working product URL and what model / agent you primarily used.

It's astonishing that establishment Democrats are backing Becerra instead of @MattMahanSJ. Becerra has no new ideas, speaks in generalities, and will continue the dysfunction of Sacramento.
Elex Michaelson: I point out to @XavierBecerra that CA has the nation's highest poverty rate, gas prices, housing costs & most homeless people.
"Are Democrats in charge of this state doing a good job?"
"We could do better, no doubt. But we are the 4th largest economy in the world."

Thinking Machines is impressive. In a couple hours I just fine tuned my own Qwen3.5-397B model this afternoon.
Fast usable multimodal is also going to enable very mind-blowing personal AI.
Thinking Machines: People talk, listen, watch, think, and collaborate at the same time, in real time. We've designed an AI that works with people the same way.
We share our approach, early results, and a quick look at our model in action.

Robin Ebers · AI for Non-Coders: i'm learning that @Replit is an underrated design tool
just exploring, but cool
claude design comparison in first comment
“I built my first three apps using Cursor and thought that was fast, but trying Replit for Dial completely blew me away. I built the MVP over a single weekend, and it actually got approved by Apple on the very first try—which has never happened to me before.”

My newest gbrain-evals just dropped - this is how gbrain does vs other options. http://ZeroEntropy.dev is SOTA for reranking and embedding cost, speed, and retrieval success.
GBrain beats MemPalace by 1% on LongMemEval and beats Vector RAG by 38%

The companies I love working with in office hours are the ones where the founder has a specific, weird, earned insight that nobody else has. Not "AI for X." A genuine edge that came from living inside a problem.
The ones that are dying almost always have the same pattern: technically competent founders building something nobody asked for, moving metrics that don't matter, avoiding the conversation with the one user who'd tell them the truth.
The lucky thing is that 2nd type of founder can become the 1st kind if they don't stand still, they are willing to talk to people, try things, and always seek high rate of learning.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

🇺🇸🇪🇺 A new study from the US-based New England Journal of Medicine found that Americans die earlier across all income levels compared to their European counterparts. What’s especially notable is that America’s one percenters are getting outlived by Europe’s poorest.
US’s overall average life expectancy is 79, while EU’s is 82.
At the same time, US is spending much more (18% of GDP) than EU (10%) on healthcare.
What’s the main reason for the European advantage over US in the key parameter of public health, such as longevity:
A) Better diet;
B) Universal healthcare;
C) Cheaper and less drugs prescribed;
D) More preventive rather than reactive healthcare;
E) Other?

"We used to say build the MVP. Now you should build the system that builds the MVP first."
Here's my new episode with @ryancarson where he shared how he runs his startup solo with AI agents:
✅ OpenClaw as his AI chief of staff to triage emails, book meetings, and do sales outreach
✅ Codex and Devin as his AI eng team to ship features while he sleeps
Some quotes from Ryan:
"Spend a lot of time upfront setting up your skills + documentation. Then you've suddenly unlocked the work of 10 people."
"Treat your agent like a real employee. Give it a real email address, calendar access, and GitHub account."
"Pay a designer to set up your design system and brand. After that, you can use AI to generate on-brand assets."

CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.
So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.
“Look I made this awesome product prototype”. Yes but you didn’t have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues.
“Look I generated a contract”. Yes but you didn’t verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didn’t have to wire up all the past contracts to work with.
The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.
Michal Malewicz: CEOs are the most delusional about AI. Detached from reality.

The biggest hack I’ve seen for founders to close deals faster: just show up.
Get on a plane, fly to their office, meet in person, bond with the whole team.
Instantly replaces weeks of zoom calls.
self improvement prompt for codex
Vaibhav (VB) Srivastav: UPDATE: Came up with an even better version of this prompt after the feedback
Ask Codex to look across your sessions, Memories, and Chronicle, identify patterns, reuse what already exists, and only create the smallest useful skill, subagent, or automation.

Something that the US has lost is giant, blue chip companies dreaming up big, absurd moon shot physical projects, sometimes as a marketing play, sometimes to move a marginal amount of product, and occasionally executing on them.

Everyone building AI agents is focusing on building the prefrontal cortex. Planning. Reasoning. Multi-step chains. There's value here. CEO-stuff.
But also, a reframe: there is value in building the cerebellum. It's offloading boring tasks into reflex so the complex thought can focus.
Your mortgage gets paid by a standing order, not a committee. The things that are not fun, not interesting, but have to be done? Done. Most agent frameworks will fail because they treat all cognition as high cognition.
The winners will nail the boring stuff first.
"I've raised a $2M seed round, but I'm not going to hire anybody for a while.
As a startup founder, you want to understand every job and do it and feel the pain before you hire.
The reality is that an agent is alot faster to onboard and they retain all the training so you can improve it over time."

Codex Mobile is making me a better developer in a way I didn’t expect: I step away from my laptop and stop micromanaging.
I give it much more ambitious prompts (the way models work best).
And I get space to think instead of sitting there with burning eyes spamming prompts.
Early review of GBrain - I am working on it day-to-day, dropped more than 20 PRs in the last week, so it is a young codebase growing quickly and changing. This is great feedback.

My first startup took two years to build as I was learning along the way
With Gstack, I built Clio in 3 days and from idea to first 10 users in two weeks.
It will help you question it all with real challenges that help you build not only faster but better from day one
Garry Tan: Proud to say GStack has now crossed 100k stars
Tens of thousands of people use GStack to supercharge their agentic coding and build the things they want to build!
This one goes out to all my haters

Built the whole product.
Figured out basic gtm motion.
Closed first b2b customer.
1 employee = me
*way* faster because I have zero communication coordination time.
I know we'll have to hire soon but I'm loving running the whole company by myself right now :)

some thoughts on how to tokenmaxx effectively from 0->1 AI native startups that have done it:
Jon Xu
Founders often ask me what to listen for in customer calls to know if they have a hair-on-fire problem.
This is the wrong question.
Can you run their business? If you were CEO, would this be a top 2 priority? Because most businesses never get to #3.
Rather than pitching your idea, learn the business so well you could run it yourself. You'll know exactly how big the problem is and what they'd pay.
And if this is going to 100x their business and they still won't buy? You just discovered the AI version of their company.
