BREAKING: Germany's Chancellor Merz says the effect of the Iran War on Germany and Europe will be as serious as the COVID-19 pandemic if it expands.

@drewfallon12 FIN

Introducing Fin: The world’s first AI Chief Financial Officer. Fin outperforms humans 100% of the time. RT + Comment “FIN” and I’ll send you an AI agent that saves 6-7 figures/year.

@TarunAmasa @OpenAI Would love an early invite. Ex-bulge bracket TMT

It’s official. We’ve raised $14m led by @OpenAI Startup Fund to bring AI to Excel. Endex is the first AI agent to live inside Excel. For the past year, we've been working with financial firms. Today we’re releasing it to the world. Our capacity is limited; comment below for an early invite 🧵

@garrytan Hey Garry, I am building something slightly different although it serves a similar purpose. I am actively working through the fall YC application currently. I hope I get the chance to pitch you the idea. I really think you - among others - would absolutely love it.

Is there a good map-based AI agent app that tells me everything relevant to me and what I’m doing nearby to where I am at the moment? Especially interesting for travel

@nicochristie Would love an invite code!

Introducing Shortcut — the first superhuman Excel agent. Shortcut one-shots most knowledge work tasks on Excel. It even scores >80% on Excel World Championship Cases in ~10 minutes. That's 10x faster than humans. Our early preview is live. Just comment for an invite code.

BREAKING: President Trump's Economic Advisor Navarro says "this was the best negative print for GDP I have seen."

@zebird0 Is it not called Roblox ?

With Grok3 and o1 pro, is it finally time for someone to build the TikTok of games?

@MercurialWisdom @TylerPk @t_blom @boozymandias It’s not, you’re ridiculous for thinking that’s ridiculous. Anything relationship based or that requires manual labor (I.e., plumbing etc) will increase in value. Especially if we no longer have illegals who are willing to do the work whites feel too privileged to do.

@TylerPk @t_blom @boozymandias Ridiculous statement.

I worry that "AI is going to make doctors/lawyers/whatever more effective" is just cope. It's only true over a 1-3 year time horizon. AI is going to steamroll all knowledge work in the next 10 years.

@JakeGagain It's already sending. Wait till this bonds #p98130426" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pump.fun/coin/6NThGw29g…

Crypto Will Send In February.

@carrigmat What are the benefits of local LLMs? Is the main value driver privacy / data control or performance? Are the performance gains significant compared to just using a “online” distilled model or paying for GPT-4o?

Complete hardware + software setup for running Deepseek-R1 locally. The actual model, no distillations, and Q8 quantization for full quality. Total cost, $6,000. All download and part links below:

@brian_armstrong My exact initial thought as well.

This is a joke, but it's actually kind of a good idea - reminds me of the nuclear power generators on the voyager spacecraft and curiosity rover (similar to what Mark Whatney digs up in The Martian). No moving parts, very reliable source of power.

@ianmiles @FBI @SecretService

TikToker asks if it’s possible to hire a hitman or a hitwoman to take out Donald Trump.

@MarioNawfal Why are they always so ugly

Whoa… 😳 I don’t recommend wearing a MAGA hat around her...

@litcapital There’s a reason Bezos mentioned in his op-ed that perceived trust historically has only been lower for congress until recently. Media needs a massive shakeup and hopefully the Washington post can chart the path.

Feels like I’m living in an alternate reality from mainstream media Just saw headlines about Trump’s comments about Liz Cheney being shot and thought “damn that’s bad, wtf did he say now” So I went and found the actual clip to get the context (attached). Trump effectively said, (and I’m paraphrasing): “she’s a war hawk, let’s see how she likes war if you give her a rifle and she’s got 9 barrels shooting at her. They’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington saying let’s send 10,000 troops to fight the enemy” I thought Democrats have always used this type of example towards Republicans calling for war. Is being anti-war now a bad thing? How are major outlets publishing these types of headlines? Arizona’s top prosecutor is apparently investigating this as a possible death threat (bruh) When there is clear evidence and people can see the actual footage for themselves, they can see the mainstream media is purposefully distorting news. This does nothing to instill confidence in the public and further fuels division

Epic moments

@danielchalef @zep_ai Is the data entirely expunged from the system or is it merely “disguised”. As copyright law pertaining to AI continues to evolve, what constitutes removal will inevitably become a super important question.

LLM data extraction at scale is super difficult. 😅 We tackled this when building Graphiti, the @zep_ai temporal Knowledge Graph library. Read about our design decisions & solutions. 🙌

@emollick For most use cases, I agree, the increased visibility and better reasoning capabilities won’t outweigh the increased inference times.

@emollick Yes. This new model appears to just possess better reasoning capabilities, primarily from training methodology. Rumored to be a STaR methodology, which is effectively training on the solutions and then reverse engineering the logic / reasoning behind the answer.

OpenAI’s o1 is also the first specialized frontier model available widely. It doesn’t do everything better than GPT-4o, but it does a few classes of things a lot better. Unless you are doing problems that benefit from planning a solution, you may not see improvement.

@nicksortor @MonicaPaigeTV Netanyahu visit

🚨 NOW: MORE BARRICADES are being set up around the White House this morning Why? What the heck is Biden going to “announce” tonight? 😳 (🎥 @MonicaPaigeTV)
