A quick survey, any AI founder would like to share and to be a speaker at an event? 🤔 Leave comments here👇and I plan to accommodate online and offline meetings for founders who want to share. I feel like every event has same discussions and same speakers now. Really want to make a change and let founders story be heard.

@thebruchez @sudiprokaya @ycombinator @laminalabs I also saw a new way of editing and modifying images in SVG. FYI

@lika_build @sudiprokaya @ycombinator @laminalabs Yeah, that seems likely. Code and canvas flow can save a lot of time there.

Lamina Labs is building the fastest infra for explainer videos. The first product from @laminalabs, Simi, turns any prompt or document into a whiteboard-style explainer video in seconds, across 80+ languages, so anyone can explain anything clearly. Congrats on the launch, @sudiprokaya and @mk314k!

@OpenAI Overreacting will be an issue. Sometimes we want AI to talk from a neutral side instead of assuming something is going on under cases.

We’ve been researching new ways for ChatGPT memory to carry context across conversations and keep it useful over time. Today, that work is rolling out as a more capable memory system in ChatGPT. openai.com/index/chatgpt-…

Great showcase from OpenAI DevRel today. Three years ago at @rpggoai, we were already exploring a similar question: what does “environment” and “objective truth” mean for an agentic system? In games, this became very concrete. NPC agents needed to believe what was objectively true in their world, understand what was changing in the environment, and use that to plan, predict actions, and form thoughts. What we are seeing now feels close to what we imagined back then: agents using tools inside their world, taking actions, and even building new functions into their environment. Excited to hear @OpenAI discussing these topics at Snowflake Dev Day.

@sudiprokaya @ycombinator @laminalabs sounds great! I came from a AI video creator tool PM background. Really impressed by what you are doing

@lika_build @ycombinator @laminalabs If you just explain who you want the content to be for, it should relatively do well. Also, we are workin on that. Personalized learning is a very hard but worth problem to solve.

Productivity does improved significantly for people who are working on promising projects or have clear delivery paths. However business and society growth is organic, demands does not grow exponential since it is not just a numbers it is an ecosystem nature. I believe from the first day it is a way to democratize tech and build more equality in the world for regions with scarce resources. Competing under the same pool for a fixed ceiling of the market will not have a significant change until the organic growth start it own reflection.

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor. It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. anthropic.com/institute/recu…

@atmoio Agree. Changes are run in systematic and organic approach compares to instant number.

Anthropic is questioning whether AI may turn out to be altogether useless. This is the single most honest thing Anthropic has ever written. “But achieving recursive improvement alone does not suggest an immediate change in how industrial production occurs, societies organize, or markets function. More intelligence can’t learn what a drug does over decades of use, can’t hold elections sooner than a constitution dictates, and can’t turn a stranger into an old friend in a weekend. For most people, the felt pace of this future will still be set by the bottlenecks, even if the laboratory upstream runs at the speed of compute. That collision, where recursive intelligence building itself ever faster meets the world of humans, relationships, and governance, is another part of this future we can’t predict.”

@sudiprokaya @thebruchez @ycombinator @laminalabs I would guess many of the content are representing in code / canvas flow to speed up the process?

@thebruchez @ycombinator @laminalabs That's what we do at Lamina Labs. We want videos to be the default workflow.

@ycombinator @laminalabs Add one more thought, also for product promotion and learning tech stacks!

@ycombinator @laminalabs extremely helpful for 3-5 minutes video explaining this visually. Would like to see a product that interactive with generative visuals on knowledge personalized for different viewers, cuz background knowledge req varies person to person

Key takeaway from Sonwflake Dev day: Data is an undervalued infra under the AI wave. And human behavioral data and natural language data are the most important data structure and growing exponentially. #snowflakedevday

@YichuanM Just want to drop an ear here are see what the community can share. I totally agree that this is an important topic, and previously I tried to build a agentic structure for tools and function call with RL as the main way, I think Pokee ai is working on something similar @Pokee_AI

seriously asking: agentic RL is probably one of the most hyped topics in AI research right now. yet when i look for open-source repos with both a real data recipe and production-quality infra, i can barely find any. the only three i'd confidently recommend today are: • SkyRL-Agent for SWE(@shiyi_c98) • Endless Terminals for Terminal Bench (@DimitrisPapail) • Polar Agent for SWE (@NVIDIAAI) maybe also some search agent?? (what shoud the best one be?) am i just bad at searching, or are 95% of agentic RL papers still not releasing a usable stack? (let alone OPD stuff...) would love recommendations! appreciate any pointers, especially for the most exciting recent applications.

@adamc0dez This what I’m planning to do. Let founders been heard, build ecosystem for them to be the speaker, and share their founder’s story and product. I’m working on this right now and feel free to drop your thoughts in my recent posts.

Picture a 2026 founder who - didn’t work at a faang - didn’t go to an Ivy League - doesn’t know any investors - didn’t reach a substantial revenue milestone on past business Be honest. Is it possible for them to fundraise?

Great share of the vibe inside YC. Planning to build a community where every founder can share there founder stories that’s driving them be the founder, and so we can empower more people to learn how to success or event just start the first step, and my goal is to let founders heard by the market. YC batch will be start of my outreach.

founders in this yc batch are more ambitious than ever. e.g. several teams i'm working with started by layering AI on top of legacy software. then they realized they could do far more by rebuilding the whole thing themselves. so they did. it's truly time to boil the ocean.

@Prathkum Completely agree. Scaffold and architect sense are the essential part during coding. Tech stack selection determines how far a product can go and how quick shall we rewrite… 🙂‍↔️

Most of coding was never about writing code. AI made this more obvious. You no longer need to recall syntax, function structure, boilerplate code, or even API endpoints. That’s the easy part and AI is very good at it. The hard part was never typing. It was always thinking. And it still is.

@JeffDean End device need this to run functions smartly with AI.

Check out our Gemma 4 12B model: it's a super capable open weights model that can run directly on your laptop.

@minchoi very nice product test!! I believe by integrating more backend services the product developing and shipping loop will be covered by OpenAI soon, and also most of web pages are information driven compared to function driven, and this means a lot to non-tech.

This is wild. OpenAI just dropped Codex Sites. Now anyone can give it a plan, dashboard, launch doc or idea, and turn it into an interactive app with a URL. 5 wild examples:

@testerlabor @elonmusk AI Gaming is the only thing that will not be replaced by agent in software. Your creativity and interactions with the product are things you want to take control of.

Grok Build just created a game called Grok Racer for me. The great thing is that I told Grok to use Grok Imagine for the images in the game and it did! That’s fantastic and proves that Grok Imagine can also be used for active game coding. It works well and looks so cool.

A quick survey, any AI founder would like to share and to be a speaker for an event?

Let's connect and grow! This will be a long-term connection post. I’m looking to bridge resources in Bay Area and SF, and connect with more people building in AI. If you are building in AI, SaaS, automation, dev tools, or early-stage startups, please leave a comment below. 🙌🙌🙌 You can share: • what you’re building • what kind of people you want to meet • what support you need Follow / Comment and I will follow back! I am happy to share and test your product here. A bit about me: Previous role in consumer apps for AI creative content and UGC games Stanford MS ’20 | Generative AI PM / Strategy / GTM / BD | Ex AI startup co-founder I’ve worked on AI products from 0 to 1, product strategy, GTM, community growth, PMF exploration, and startup partnerships. I hope this can become a small connection point for builders to find each other, follow each other, and support each other. Events and invites in the Bay will be shared to this group as well!
