@a16z We still need to talk about synthetic data

As system of record incumbents shift to headless agents, they are making an implicit bet that the data layer will remain the source of value. Startups will compete on a new set of factors, like proprietary data, owning the action layer, real-world execution, and selling to technical buyers. The next generation of systems of record is already starting to look agentic such that they capture the context, initiate the work, and record the data exhaust.

@lukesophinos finally someone who can factor in opportunity costs in human-AI workflows!

@julien_c as long as the current GPU optimization physics are not surmounted

the gpu crunch is real

@pmarca yes, but the question is: how to make monez of a user's prompt in ChatGPT like "How do I unscrew a bathroom sink?"

Interesting.

@EvgenyGaevoy the antdote to current influencers

death of irony

@a16zcrypto @hosseeb @guywuolletjr @therollupco What? How is USDC a cyberpunk product when it is freezable easily?

"I think it was maybe @hosseeb who was tweeting that if you revived Satoshi and said, 'Is a stablecoin a cypherpunk product?' I think the answer would have to absolutely be yes. I think we're letting perfect be the enemy of good." @guywuolletjr on @therollupco: "It's very easy to say we're not making progress at the rate we'd want. I think we're actually getting a lot of what we would've wanted five or 10 years ago." "We wake up every morning and I feel like I'm winning. To parrot the Jensen quote, I did not wake up this morning a loser, and I think too many people in crypto have a bit of that mindset today. If there's one message I'd like to convey it's that I feel like we're winning."

and we have labels. Some obscure blockchain foresnic companies can create "tained wallets registry" and put anyone they dislike there... well nearly anyone... (who can effectively control this at all?) all is online... then good luck for those trying to clear their coins and their reputation...

If Hal Finney were reanimated and someone told him how stablecoins worked, I don't think his reaction would be: "wait, you're telling me this non-KYC, instantly transferable, cryptographically custodied, P2P-accessible US dollar has... a freeze function? Oh. So we failed."

@omooretweets cool

RIP LinkedIn profiles I will now only accept professional bios in the form of ChatGPT-generated 1980s software ads

@hosseeb no they cannt. your wallet might get frozencon whim = suspicion vs. proof of criminal conduct.

Stablecoins are actually super cypherpunk. CT has broken your brain on this. The idea that anyone at any time, with just a mobile phone, can hold and send dollars instaneously to anyone in the world, no KYC, no nothing--that was literally the cypherpunk dream.

@hosseeb I guess the real peak performance is not seeking limelight

What's the craziest example of a multi-agent workflow/setup you've seen? YouTube videos or livestreams preferred. I want to know what peak performance looks like.

@tawer1O what was the exact prompt?

Comparison of Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.6 in the same coding task Same hardware, same prompt, comparable model size > gemma 4 31b: 27 tok/s, 3m 51s, 6,209 tokens, stronger game logic > qwen 3.6 27b: 32 tok/s, 18m 04s, 33,946 tokens, better visuals Gemma 4 with lower tok/s finished 14 minutes faster because it used 5.5x fewer tokens to reach a complete answer

@hosseeb centralize the supposedly decentralized? good idea

Let me be clear what I am saying and not saying: I am NOT saying: let's forcibly shut down protocols (we can't), or let's only use the largest ones, or that teams shouldn't build new protocols. I AM saying: there are a lot of zombie protocols out there with basically the front doors unlocked and no one inside anymore. These are like blighted homes and we need to get rid of them, or the whole neighborhood will suffer. The way we change that is by CHANGING THE NORMS around shutdowns and giving these founders a graceful way to exit. Right now there is no playbook on how to wind down a DeFi protocol, and we need to make one, ASAP.

@TheAhmadOsman any quantization?

Currently running GLM-5.1 locally Cannot believe this thing is running on my own GPUs, its really smart

@Param_eth two years ago is was solana for perps

New chains come and go. But these aren’t going anywhere: Base for builders Bitcoin for OGs Solana for fast transactions Ethereum for settlement Hyperliquid for perps

@mwfowlie is there any info on how long mythos takes to process prompts comapred to the other publicly known models?

Opus 4.7 is so bad yet so expensive. Why would they even release this? Yet Anthropic wants us to believe they have some incredible model that nobody is allowed to use?

@hosseeb Hmm, as far as I know, Mythos isnt Terminal Bemch verified and it would be great if it was, since ATIF files reveal a lot.

Interesting that they are now showing these benchmarks side-by-side with Mythos, to reinforce that you do not have access to the most intelligent model. I always wondered when we'd get here. But we have now for the first time entered the undemocratic era of AI. You are not important enough to have access to the greatest intelligence, and Anthropic wants you to know that.

@elder_plinius you mean create benchmarks that log agents' trajectories?

make an agent. good. benchmark it. make more agents. benchmark again. iterate on prompts and config. nice. keep going until benchmarks are saturated. move the goalposts. make the benchmarks harder. now saturate those. excellent. keep looping. beautiful.

@seyong yes and no. The Korea Blockchain Week is the best.

there are absolutely way too many conferences in crypto… and its the same people at every one
