Austen Allred

If you’re an engineer who wants to master AI, we want to * Fly you to Austin * Cover your housing * Cover your food * Have someone do your laundry * Train you to use AI * Get you a $200k+ job with our hiring partners And it’s completely free, no matter what

Will be priced high enough to make me update/maintain. Probably $49/mo or $249/yr.

Very happy with the curriculum now. Gonna turn a lot of vibe coders into real engineers.

@Scheffeler Next 24 hrs hopefully

@Austen What’s your timeline for releasing?

@aulwan Yes this will be entirely remote

@Austen Is it available for remote?

@ShlomoGolden Companies pay us recruiting fees to hire our grads

@Austen What's the catch?

This is obviously the play

@venkateshkoka We use every app and every model you can imagine

@Austen Did you guys shift to claude code max or using cursor? Is cursor composer good comapred to opus?

"What's the catch?" is probably the number 1 question we get with Gauntlet AI. * It's very intense * We're very selective * We charge hiring partners recruiter fees Gauntlet is all about finding + creating the most elite of AI engineers. Companies happily pay for that.

@mike_monaco Link seems to work?

@Austen I’m interested. Link is broken

AI is the baseline now. The best engineers? They run software factories. Are you still coding alone? Register now: vimeo.com/event/5808630/…

@MgkMshrmBrkfst Actually yes

@Austen will they do the dishes too? 😅

It’s the long run-on sentences that really does it for me

@WizLikeWizard It is definitely early and it comes with a it of bugs off the shelf

Have been using OpenClaw for ~a month and it kinda sucks? I spend more time battling it to get basic crons fired reliably, remember things, and not repeat itself. Am I doing it wrong or are we just still very early on all of this?

@jpfraneto Yes have thought of it, just many more steps to add than what we’re doing now which is complex

have you thought of flipping the 200k+ job for a 200k+ investment on your startup? and have people spend all the time that are there working on it? i say that because i know im creating something valuable. and i know i could use surrounding myself with legends. im alone where i am at. and it is limiting AF

@yukinthecut @gaspoweredco @KellyClaudeAI Haha give it a minute. Not easy to export ads to full automation, need to build the tooling yourself. Hard to outsource, you hvae to own the full cycle, vertically integrated.

Going to address this one time. I am down a lot on kellyclaude i DCAd my own bullposts up & down. I actually want to connect @gaspoweredco and @KellyClaudeAI, since for 1mo+ my thesis for kelly has been that the 9fig agent will scale via paid ads. The reality is, ads are very hard to crack, and i think they could benefit from outsourcing ads short term to gas, which is already running 100k+/mo profitably on their own portco of ios apps. I am rooting for a PvE outcome here, and I am trying my absolute hardest as a random to create a success story that can concentrate onchain liq. This is genuinely such a thankless job, idk how UM and co dealt w the bullshit after zerebro went to 700mm.

@craig_osika I only knew because I had never heard of it and had to google lol

@Austen Wow, had no clue

March Madness is hilarious because what the hell is Siena University and why are they beating Duke

@craig_osika They're a University now

@Austen Siena College

@gbrl_dick Think of AI models as a giant autistic gorilla. Just because it sucks at sign language doesn’t mean it’s not powerful

it makes sense but i'm still regularly surprised that people who actually use frontier models all day for their jobs can point to like 10 critical things they can't quite do yet vs people who are 'very into AI' and think everything is already solved

@BillyM2k Marrying my wife

what was the best decision of your life?
