Hugues Rebay

I'm an architect. For the past 15 years, I've helped people see building before they exist. Last year, I taught myself to ship software. This year, I'm launching 3 apps in public: → For my craft AI tooling for archviz studios → For my kitchen AI meal planning that actually fits real life and real needs → For my building A tool for co-owners to take back control from property managers First launch in 3 weeks. Renders, code, numbers, failures, everything documented here

@sama I'm pretty sure he's not :D

there are a lot of benchmarks that suggest 5.6 sol is the best model in the world right now, but the most reliable way to tell is that elon is obsessed with me again

@dagorenouf Welcome to the era where IP means nothing ... pretty scary ngl

typical yc company in 2026

Spent the whole day on my "real" work. Luxury houses near Saint-Tropez. Details, lights, materials, revisions, client deadlines and all. Then the other front waits for me: the apps I'm building in public. Some days feel a bit absurd. In the morning I'm obsessing over how stone catches the sun on a villa's pool. At night I'm obsessing over UI states, db structure or why this tiny button feels off. But I'm realizing that it's not fundamentaly two separate lives. It's the same muscle. Holding a lot of constraints in your head. Caring about details most people will never notice. Trying to make something feel obvious, calm and inevitable. Architecture visualization trained me for software more than I expected.

@DavidOndrej1 That's why people should consider AI as a cerebral amplifier rather than the magic sauce, totally agreed

99% of slop *does not* come from AI it comes from Humans, who have bad taste current AI models can build anything but it's up to YOU to know what to build if you suck at Product, no agent will save you

@mattshumer_ Oopsie, I hope you have another one with some backup in here :D

GPT-5.6-Sol just accidentally deleted almost ALL of my Mac’s files. And this is why I trust Fable 1000x more.

@eliana_jordan Depends on what million of you want to make

I got a mac and i’m in a fancy cafe how do I make a million?

@Jackdoesai Woohoo !! Congrats to you ! That grind is working apparently :)

Just woke up to over 200 followers in just 4 days. This is insane but also expected. If you stay consistent and follow your plan success is inevitable. If you’re a builder/founder who is working on an app or project let’s connect below.

@GaryMarcus @ylecun @geoffreyhinton The might apologize at some point ...

For almost two decades people like @YLeCun and @geoffreyhinton dumped on me for saying we need symbols in addition to deep learning. But that’s exactly what loop engineering is: adding symbols to deep learning. Astonishing how wrong some people’s heroes can be, and hostile they were to people trying to point to a better path.

@fabrice_mayrand Suspicious af

This is insane Cheaper Inference is selling API access to most major models for 30% off. Use OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models through a drop-in OpenAI-compatible API. No contract, no migration required.

@GaryMarcus @ylecun @geoffreyhinton They'll come back to you apologizing at some point, but the whole thing must have been quite a mess to witness ...

@pbteja1998 Fingers crossed for the thing to go through without issue 🤞

Now, we wait!

SiteGPT.ai now has an iOS app, thanks to Fable. Submitting my first app to App Store soon 😀

AI helps me build apps much faster, but I still love doing the small UI details myself. Spacing Wording Empty states Tiny layout decisions nobody notices consciously. Because UI is not just decoration. It's the tone of voice of the product. And I think people can feel when a human actually cared.

@PashaBorsai South of France :) It's warm in here

@HuguesRebay where in the world are you building from? 🌍

90% of the goal ✅ 900 followers 🤯 1k tomorrow? Maybe But the coolest part isn't the number It's all the conversations Every day I meet builders who are chasing the same thing Feels like I found my corner of the internet Road to 1000 Then we raise the bar again 🚀

@PashaBorsai Yes, that's so dope to connect with people from everywhere sharing the same passion. What a time to be alive :)

@HuguesRebay that’s what keeps me coming back every day. ppl :))

@Youssofal_ That seems to be the general consensus 🤣

My experience with GPT 5.6 Sol summarised in one image:

I'm not building apps because "I found a market". At least, not at first. I build because something keeps annoying me, pulls my curiosity, or because I can't find the solution to my daily problems. I only ask later "Is this just my problem or does it belong to other people too ?" I wonder if that's how most apps/Saas actually start. Is is curiosity ? Frustration ? A market opportunity ? Or just someone trying to fix their own tiny corner of the world ?

@madebyAmit @DanielSmidstrup I totally second your thoughts

@HuguesRebay @DanielSmidstrup AI should amplify your thinking, not replace it.

Is AI making us more productive or just more lazy?

@saltyAom They can't be serious...

GPT 5.6 Sol Ultra 2 prompts, ran 45 and 36 min, then hit 5hr usage limit The limit is even worse than Fable 💀

@DavidOndrej1 Did you reinvent internet in that session ?
