Phoebe Gates has raised $35m from investors. She didn’t get a penny from Bill. Love it when an underdog wins.

@denk_tweets @beehiiv nice work - is there anything you're not adding!
English
audience ownership has always been at the heart of what we’re building at @beehiiv
your newsletter gives you a direct relationship with your readers
community takes that one step further by giving readers a place to connect and build deeper relationships on a platform that’s owned by you, not faceless algorithms
whether they’re united by a shared love of design, startups, or even the World Cup, human connection is more important than ever
and as of yesterday, you can foster those connections on @beehiiv
here’s why building a community on beehiiv is fundamentally better than using a standalone community platform:
> move readers from newsletter to community in just a few clicks
> offer one unified paid subscription across your newsletter, podcast, and community
> use automations to send timely, personalized messages to members
> sync newsletter posts and podcast episodes to your community in real time
> host live webinars and events directly within your website and community
> understand your audience holistically across your entire ecosystem 🫶
and there’s so much more coming soon..

@GJarrosson @albertorosasg damn i need to make an llms text file for my site

AI agents are taking over the web, with projections of a thousand times more agents than humans browsing. The internet may split into human-focused and agent-focused sites. Companies are already adapting, creating separate sites for each audience. @albertorosasg

@antonosika @Jason V cool to make a product used by one of the early uber investors
English
One of @Jason's employees built an intranet on Lovable that he said would have cost $500,000 two years ago. It took four hours and cost them less than $2,000 in a year.
We spoke about who's building, what it means for society and what's next for Lovable.

The the only newspaper ad Y Combinator ever ran (Stanford Daily).

Before RxBar was in every store, Peter Rahal only sold in CrossFit gyms. He told me why.
They tested convenience stores and grocery stores early and the bar didn't move. So they ignored normal retail and sold only in gyms.
A CrossFit gym moved 80 bars a week. The same bar in a convenience store or grocery store sold 1 to 4 a week.

i gave 5.6 sol access to my camera roll and had it extract pictures of every piece of clothing i own from my photos
then, told it to find new outfits for me and render them on me with gpt-image!
its kinda cool to see your entire wardrobe in a collection like this
Sam Altman@sama
i'd love to see interesting things people have built with 5.6 sol. i will send the person who made the coolest thing a special gift from the openai archives.

At Craft + Commerce this year, Oliver was watching me give my keynote from the side of the stage.
That was a really special moment.
When I asked him afterward if he thought my jokes were funny, he just asked: what jokes?

Reformed, a UK-born functional matcha and coffee brand, has raised £17 million to accelerate the international expansion of its direct-to-consumer subscription business. Focused on optimizing morning routines, the company’s instant beverage powders combine ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, mushrooms, creatine, and collagen to deliver health benefits beyond a traditional caffeine boost. In less than two years, Reformed has reportedly reached $70 million in annual revenue while expanding its product lineup to include complementary wellness-focused SKUs. The funding comes as consumer demand for functional beverages continues to grow, positioning Reformed at the intersection of supplements and premium coffee culture.

More bars/clubs should do this.
This is a place in Mexico City called Departmento.
Every Tuesday they have an “international party”
People are encouraged to come alone and make friends. They have activities for the sole purpose of introducing strangers to each other.
They welcome people from all over the world.
I stopped by one night - maybe the friendliest people at a bar I’ve ever encountered.

There's this newish thing called Apex.
They host NFL combines for normal people. 40 yard dash, 225 bench, 1 mile run, vert, broad jump, overhead throw. I just started training for it.
I don't know if it'll be as popular as Hyrox as sprinting for 30+ year old guys is rarer than cardio-realted fitness stuff...but I think this has a chance to become big.

Ok Fable and Sol got me a fully working iOS app in a few hours based on the backend and the web app..

I think people are still sleeping on realtime voice driven consumer experiences.. Releasing my latest side project geared towards kids: Upon A Voice ✨ You can watch my daughter interact with it in the video below but the highlights are as follows: - generates a "live" storybook based on who your child is and how they look. - the story is completely driven by voice and what the kid wants to see in the book. - images are generated in real time keeping the character consistent. - at the end, you get a full PDF that you can print and hand to your child to read as a bedtime story Live now at uponavoice dot com with a BYO Gemini key!

@TurnerNovak @PeterRahal Nobody confuses Apple or Coke with anything else. I think that's a good mark of a brand.

"Brands are like human beings. The ones that are most bold and polarizing are usually the strongest."
From David founder @PeterRahal on building the brand that went zero to a $300M revenue run rate in two years.

New @ThePeelPod with @PeterRahal Peter built RXBAR from his parents' basement with $10k and sold it to Kellogg for $600M. Then he waited out a non-compete and started the same company again, David. We get into how buying an ingredient supplier made food venture-backable, why RXBAR's paleo positioning was a trap, how GLP-1’s have changed diet trends forever, selling cans of fish as a marketing weapon, the lawsuit that got him 120M impressions in a week, and why he studies fashion houses instead of food companies.

Me explaining this week’s model release situation to my wife..
"babe listen. this matters. GPT-5.6 dropped in three flavors. Sol, Terra, and Luna. Sol is the smart one. It had to clear government safety evals before release, like getting paroled. Luna is the cheap one. Terra exists.
Grok 4.5 launched the day BEFORE GPT-5.6. On purpose. So it could have 24 hours of being frontier-adjacent. Elon calls it Opus-class, which is a polite way of saying it competes with Anthropic's previous model. But it's $2 per million tokens, so nobody will care.
Speaking of Anthropic. Fable 5 just came back online after the government suspended it for three weeks. The best coding model on earth was literally grounded. It's back now, and the rumored GPT-6 is being retrained specifically to beat it.
Sonnet 5 also shipped last week. Near-Opus performance at $2 per million. It's the new free default. Meaning the free tier is now better than what enterprises paid six figures for in January.
Meituan open sourced LongCat-2.0. That's a 1.6 TRILLION parameter model. MIT licensed. From a Chinese FOOD DELIVERY company. Your DoorDash equivalent is now a frontier lab. Let that one sit.
ByteDance launched Seedream 5 Pro. Almost as good as GPT Image 2 at 4x cheaper, because ByteDance's entire corporate strategy is 'same thing but cheaper.' It beat Meta's new Muse Image, which trains on your public Instagram photos unless you opt out. Your 2014 gym mirror selfie is now foundational research.
OpenAI also shipped GPT-Live, a voice model that goes 'mhmm' and 'got it' WHILE you're still talking. We finally taught AI to pretend to listen. Full parity with husbands achieved.
And Ollama raised $65M so you can run the open source versions of all of this on your own laptop, which is great for privacy and also heating your apartment.
And btw it’s just Thursday"

I'm pretty bad at a lot of things but one thing I've (accidentally or not) have been pretty good at is being early at trends
A lot of these trends are in my head in some way and I wanted to visualize those on a chart. So I built another dynamic blog post (on my new vibecoded blog platform that lets me do these kinds of pages) with this chart above. The first disclaimer of course is this is completely subjective and essentially a chart based brain dump. And the second disclaimer is I don't think I'm right, it's just my own beliefs visualized!
I'll keep updating the chart
You can select different trends on the legend or by clicking on a line, and you can also go fullscreen! Also you can select [x] indexed view which is pretty cool too :D
Let me know what I should add or change!

On My First Million, Mark Pincus told us about the day Sean Parker walked a 19-year-old Zuckerberg into his office in 2004.
Zuckerberg had on basketball shorts and Hawaiian flip-flops, put his feet up on the table, and handed Mark a business card that read "I'm CEO, bitch."
