@jasonlk What volume of contacts? (total, and then the # of C-suites / champions that you especially care about having up-to-date)

@benhamner Making sure a lot of our top contacts, especially C-level, still work where they did last year!

Man Clay got SO much more expensive with new "better value" pricing. 2x-3x more for us, I think. When pricing gets more complicated, it almost always means it's also gotten more expensive. At least for most.

The “AI escape the box” experiment was comically naive in hindsight. There is no box. Instead, there’ll be embedded access to every critical system in the world

What will engineering productivity look like in a year once a high fraction of codebases are written by Claude Code/Codex and no human has a detailed understanding of these parts anymore?

if country==“AU”: await asyncio.sleep(0.52)

Excited to share more publicly what @benhamner and I have been working on: techcrunch.com/2025/10/22/sum… We are building a knowledge graph for GTM data & have early customers such as @elastic, @figma and @Snowflake

WOW - cold inbound hiring processes are the worst I've ever seen it: - Huge volume of applications (probably triggered automatically) - Large volume of fake resumes - Extensive use of AI assistants in phone screens

@MeganRisdal eke, hope you fully recover quickly

Also sorry I am behind on replying to messages, etc. Just now emerging from bad COVID.

@Xfinity @XfinitySupport - 1. Internet has been down whole day in Palo Alto 2. Your outage map for Palo Alto is also not working ("address not found") 3. Your support page doesn't actually provide support

@yanda @merci congrats!

So @merci & I made a tiny human. Friends, please meet Viktor. 🥰

You could release a crazy stat on the number of times (and number of employees) ClosedAI companies have downloaded open models from HuggingFace

@jasonlk dumb question: what’s the difference between the AI SDR and the AI BDR?

2024: Wake up Check email Check slack Team meeting Team lunch Team convos Review + product content 1-2 founder meetings 2025: Wake up Check SaaStr AI Check deals SaaStr AI SDR has brought in Check deals SaaStr AI BDR has qualified Check content SaaStr AI has reviewed Check deal status from AI Deal review Check tickets sold by SaaStr AI Collaborate with Claude on content Team meeting, 20 minutes 1-2 founder meetings Vibe code for 1-2 hours (slowing it down) Work about 3x as hard with ½ the team And it’s only July

@Nate_Keating Yeah, expect that number to go up orders of magnitude as video processing / generation + deep research / reasoning usage + context lengths explode

@benhamner Woah, wonder how many are thinking tokens

This is around 5x the ~200 trillion natural language tokens humans generate every month

Assumptions: 8 billion people * 20k spoken/written words per day * 1.3 tokens per word

Kaggle launched an LLM eval product kaggle.com/benchmarks This has the potential solve the biggest challenge in the LLM ecosystem: strong and diverse evals

@arrington Could always be for training / ongoing evaluation and quality control

Met someone today from Philippines. Their job is to transcribe audio and video files from a major venture backed startup that claims to use AI to do it.

@MeganRisdal Magical isn’t it? For 5 minutes anyways, then the world’s most boring and predictable driver. As a parent with a toddler prone to sporadic sprints into streets, I look forward to when all cars on the road are waymo/self-driving

Finally trying Waymo for the first time in LA 😍

@MeganRisdal Gemma 3 coming? Smaller, Better, Faster, Smarter

Gemma Gemma Gemma!
