pretty incredible to see @patrickc casually mentioning to @sama the agentic infra we built in January for @tempo and @paradigm to transform how we work. we indeed use this to orchestrate pretty much anything at both companies. neither paradigm nor tempo can live without this now. it feels like the stone age without it. and because our organizations are so workflow heavy / data rich and we are <100 people, these are the perfect organizations to max deploy ai. it is natively multiplayer, harness agnostic, has secure secret management & firewalls, durable workflows, observable so it can self-improve/heal and most importantly - all self-hosted on bare metal & self-built, end to end. no third parties involved. we have two deploys, one for each company on different machines, but they both have a shared core codebase that's modular and extensible for each company's idiosyncracies. we're looking to do way more things with it. proactive agents remains an open problem for us. we hope to open source it very soon as i've mentioned a few times before. we're adding 1 special eng to that team, dm me + your proof of work if you're epic at infrastructure / security and love hacking things quickly.

Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option. I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800. Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet. On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes. I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable. My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened: My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport. And this was the base model Y. Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.

Excited to welcome @SVMansuri to @Wander as President & COO. We’ve been working together for several months, and he’s already been a force multiplier for our velocity. I’ve never been more confident in our vision to build the infrastructure to experience the world.

This is the story of Hyperliquid, the most profitable startup per employee on earth, told from a guarded office in Singapore. Last year, its team of 11 generated $900 million in profit. It's 3 years old, has never taken a dollar of venture capital, and is beginning to change how century-old markets work. Its founder, Jeffrey Yan (@chameleon_jeff), had never taken a physics class when he picked up a textbook at 16. Two years later, he won gold at the International Physics Olympiad. In 2019, he started trading with $10,000 from a living room in Puerto Rico—working off a television because he didn't own a monitor. Within 3 years, he was running one of the largest anonymous crypto trading firms. Then he shut it down. Yan was rich and free, but he had spent years inside crypto, watching it betray itself. Bitcoin's central premise was decentralization. Yet the biggest exchanges were centralized. Crypto kept reintroducing the dependence on trust it was built to eliminate. He set out to create what should have existed. Hyperliquid is a blockchain with a trading exchange on top, and anyone can build on it. Yan's vision is to house all of finance. In 3 years, it has done over $4 trillion in volume. And in the past few months, it has begun to outgrow crypto. Markets for oil, silver, and the S&P 500 now trade on Hyperliquid around the clock, weekends included, and are growing roughly 40% week on week. When the US and Israel bombed Iran on a Saturday in February, Hyperliquid was the venue traders turned to. Hyperliquid's success has cost Yan his freedom. He works out of a secret office in Singapore and cannot travel without two bodyguards. Even the team's housekeeper doesn't know what they do. In January, @domcooke spent a week at their office.
