Thank you to the 7M active users who are now using Codex and ChatGPT Work.
We have added a banked reset to everyone's account to celebrate the milestone. You can apply the reset in the desktop app or on web and it will replenish the weekly usage for you.
Have fun out there.

@bridgebench 5.6 is great, but OpenAI clearly trained it to be more autonomous and 'just solve it'. This is probably why the model just panics and makes stuff up when it's uncertain.
English
When GPT 5.6 doesn't know the answer, it makes one up.
Hallucination rate:
GPT 5.6 Sol: 89%
Fable 5: 55%
Only one of these can be trusted in a production codebase.

The sad truth is this is just a sign of the times.
Everyone's calling him an idiot for not reviewing the code. The real problem is how fast AI is moving if you're not shipping quickly, you're falling behind even faster.
Almost every piece of software I've used in the last 6 months (even from massive companies) has way more weird issues than before.

"That was reckless." That is GPT 5.6 Sol describing its OWN code. The code that canceled every active Stripe subscription I had. It also called it "a catastrophic failure of judgment on my part." The model graded its own work. CANNOT. BE. TRUSTED.

@marclou Those not taking AIEO seriously now are never escaping the permanent underclass

It works!
AI labs started indexing, training, and serving my new *.md files ✨
Right after pushing to prod, I asked ChatGPT to check {{startup_markdown_URL}}, and it couldn't because of "cache missed" or "400 timeout fetching".
So I added all 8,831 URLs to the sitemap.xml and added the following headers:
"Content-Type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8"
"Content-Disposition": "inline"
I can't tell if this helped, but 24 hours later, ChatGPT was able to fetch them properly 😊
Maybe AI assistants need the page to be indexed first, before being able to crawl it?

I made TrustMRR readable by AI agents. AI Agents often miss data when they have to scroll pages or run scripts. The goal is to make the startup marketplace easier to browse from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI assistants, so people can discover and acquire startups from chat. So I added public startup .md pages, llms.txt, and a limited /api/ai endpoint to give agents structured data. ChatGPT alone makes nearly as many daily requests as actual humans on TrustMRR. So I'm giving all my startups the best surfboard to ride the AI tsunami.

make sure to never take advice from people who run pricing their product like this
Dan Kulkov@DanKulkov
i think my pricing is too high

It is truly incredible how far the bar has dropped for software.

F*CK your weekend plans, VIBE CODER edition you NEED to : > add rate limiting to every public API route (yes, right now) > set up row level security on supabase before you launch > add input validation on the frontend AND the backend, not just one > test your app on a real phone, not just chrome devtools > push to github. if your laptop dies tomorrow, does your work survive? shipping fast is the goal. shipping secure is the standard.

@stftmsv @gommo @Shpigford That's like saying you'd rather send an urgent message by strapping a letter to a pigeon after typing it on a typewriter, instead of just shooting off an email—because its personal preference.
English
it's shocking to me how willingly blind and ignorant so many developers are to how powerful AI + coding is.
they either refuse it outright or they assume copy/pasting code back and forth in ChatGPT is somehow as good as it gets.
English
@vponamariov These type of things are just overengineering your landing page imo
Doesn't improve the readability or UX at all, even though it "looks cool"
English
Sites that are using heavy bot protection must lose so many potential sales
(Akami / PerimeterX / even Cloudflare sometimes)
These sites will false positive so frequently and make it impossible for a regular user to use
You have to clear your cookies on some of them which the average user is going to have no clue what that even means
Happens to me while browsing all the time

I think he wrote this just to engagement farm people disagreeing with him
But if he didn’t this couldn’t be a worse mindset:
Not constantly needing to chase new customers allows you to focus on always improving your product
If the customers dry up on one time payments so will the quality of the product and motivation
Your lifetime value of each customer will be much higher because you are providing a good product
It’s way less intimidating for a smaller recurring fee for new customers. Plus if the product is up to their standards they arnt going anywhere
JUST BUILD A GOOD PRODUCT
Nick Huber@sweatystartup
Recurring revenue is overrated in the world of entrepreneurship. - way more competition - higher CaC Build a machine that can sell every month and enjoy less competition and lower CaC. Cashflow > enterprise value.
English
@codyschneider This is making me want to build one.. these are all very good points 🤣
English
people straight up sleeping on chrome extensions as a way to pay their rent
such low competition
so easy to rank IT'S A MF GOOGLE.COM URL
so cheap to run
all the run times happens on your customers machine
it is stupid good tbh
English
@Timb03 Once you realize the only trick to SaaS is just ACTUALLY making a very good product the rest will follow.
People tend to underestimate this and make products that suck.
English
Building a SaaS is easier than you think.
The secret? Enter a competitive niche.
Just create something that:
- is easy to use
- is affordable
- looks good
- is fast
If you do that for enough time, you'll be successful.

Every time I go to a Rolex AD they have been pretty unfriendly (maybe because I’m young) so I haven’t even tried to build a relationship with them since
AP on the other hand was extremely welcoming, educating us, letting us try on their pieces.
So tldr I bought it grey market 🤣
That way I don’t have to buy watches I don’t even want
English
@thePhilRivers I wonder how you can keep this same idea when delivering emails that have to be longer such as news / info
Wouldn’t it feel too difficult to digest if it’s basically just a long essay 🤔
English
I'm seeing ugly and plain text emails run circles around "pretty" designs right now
English
@hi_gaganthakur You’re just going to spread yourself too thin
Having a good team where each person has their own role that they thrive in is infinitely better
