@garrytan Hey Garry, I built a free tool that makes any logo 50x brighter on LinkedIn. Try it with the GStack logo. Every HDR screen will make it glow while every other logo looks flat. Takes 5 seconds: glowup.bot
English

I built a thing...
Your startup logo is basically whispering on LinkedIn right now.
I made a free tool called GlowUp that makes it SCREAM.
It makes your logo 50x brighter than every other company on the feed. On any iPhone, MacBook, or HDR screen, your logo literally glows while every other brand looks like it's in power saving mode.
Upload your logo. Download. Replace on LinkedIn. That's it. Every company post. Every employee's profile. Every comment. Your brand, glowing like a main character.
Every other startup's logo: 💡
Yours: ☀️
Go glow up. glowup.bot

@SebJohnsonUK @meetgranola @samstphenson @cjpedregal @meetcleo @Barney_H_Y @synthesiaIO @vriparbelli @Stjerrild @fyxerofficial There’s also London-based Layerscale.ai which is a next-gen inference engine for LLMs

The AI scene in London is crazy.
The number of high quality AI companies building across the city is phenomenal:
> @meetgranola from @samstphenson and @cjpedregal
> @meetcleo from @Barney_H_Y
> @synthesiaIO from @vriparbelli and @Stjerrild
> @fyxerofficial from @rich_fyxer_ai
And SO MANY MORE.
The map also highlights one of the big issues in London - that startups are so spread out.
Without density you lack serendipity and that's definitely an issue in London. Overall though the city is THRIVING.
Great map from John Tan - let him know if there's any missing.

@MoscowVibe @folaoftech People aren’t like that at JP Morgan. I worked there, VP level

@folaoftech This the the JP Morgan way and how I learned to cut my teeth in banking. This type of based life is not meant for snowflakes. Get your act together.

there goes a whole yc batch

Introducing Claude Managed Agents: everything you need to build and deploy agents at scale. It pairs an agent harness tuned for performance with production infrastructure, so you can go from prototype to launch in days. Now in public beta on the Claude Platform.

YC Partners are cooking for open source
We are going to have 1000x more hyper usable open source. This is the golden age of personal software, infinitely customizable, and it will be way better than corpo software
Ankit Gupta@agupta
0.7.0 is now out, featuring: - Several major performance upgrades. Turns out coding agents are really good at perf optimization. The app should be buttery smooth now. - Security updates from the community (thank you!) - in-email search github.com/ankitvgupta/ma…

@karpathy next-gen transformer-based inference is stateful. rn: so many optimizations are emulating statefulness in a stateless system and unbelievable amount of wasted compute. that’s why I built a real-time stateful inference engine (CUDA/ROCm) that’s 8x faster than vLLM + SGLang. tell me I’m wrong

@devahaz Why isn’t @ycombinator @garrytan distancing themselves from this fraudulent POS company and why isn’t the Latest News section updated here? ycombinator.com/companies/delve

@xbxnxdxcxtx hey man. You’ve been ghosting me for weeks, I thought you said we’d have a chat, changed your mind?
English

I decided to join Y Combinator, again.
This would be my second time! Not fully sure what I'm working on yet. But, I'm sure I'll find something in time as I wander and ship.
I'm a little scared to do the whole build a company thing again ngl, but mostly excited. There's never been a better time to work on the ideas in my head. The batch started this week.
Starting a company at 23 vs now starting a company at 30 feels so different.
At 23 (when I did YC in 2020), naivety was there. At 30 I guess I know how difficult it all is. It's not surprising to me that most people in YC are aged 19-24. Still, I feel like I have the naivety of a 19 year-old, but, with the mental of a guy who's been through a lot and learned a lot. So, I'm bullish.
Let's see what happens. You'll probably see me launching a lot of random stuff over the next few weeks especially.
Also, I am blown away by the number of founders in the batch walking up to me telling me they credit being at YC to @_buildspace. It's so wonderful, and warms my heart. I often struggle to stop and understand the value of my past work because I'm so interested in the future. So, this was nice.
It's funny, many saw me irl and freaked out thinking I was joining as a YC partner and were very very surprised to hear I was joining as a founder back in the dirt alongside them haha.
Most founders never start another company and usually turn into VCs or get a high-tier job at a big company. I do not blame them. And honestly, that would be the easier more secure path for me especially as I begin thinking about family.
But, idk. I feel like my ideas are important. And even though I don't have a specific "This is the idea I'm excited about" it's more a feeling of "I should explore my ideas...I would regret it if I didn't". Especially in 2026, at the epicenter of one of the greatest inventions of my lifetime.
Every time I think about getting a job (of which I've been offered many great ones) that voice in my head comes back and says to give my nascent visions a shot.
So, gonna try :)
Maybe I flop, maybe I don't, only one way to find out.
I'll be dropping weekly updates on YouTube if you're interested. I put one out last week that talks more in depth around the story of how this YC stuff even happened randomly, why I'm doing this again, my imposter syndrome and how I think about it, and other stuff. I'll link it below.
Lets see what happens!! See y'all.

@amasad Hey Amjad, I'm Victor, founder of LayerScale. We built an inference engine specifically optimized for agentic workloads. Every engine today discards the KV cache after each response and reprocesses everything on the next tool call. By turn 5, ~85% of the prompt is redundant. We persist the cache and only process the delta. 66ms per tool call across 3 agents x 5 turns with 0.8ms variance. vLLM and SGLang are at 92-120ms and degrade with depth. We stay flat. Drop-in OpenAI compatible API.

Police officer detains @AuditingBritain under the terrorism act, for "staring"
Apparently it's a terrorist offence to be in public now filming, anything to say @BrumPolice?
English

@generic_void LayerScale.ai is precisely that. Not a fucking wrapper. It’s the inference engine for true next-gen real-time AI

@samuel_spitz Really? I left the world of top financial institutions (spent 10 years at Goldman Sachs) to become a scrappy startup founder. And that’s low status now? I’m always 2-steps behind 😀
English

@bradflora hey Brad. Check layerscale.ai it’s a new inference engine. Whitepapers available if interested. The future of AI is stateful!

@Ascii211 I reverse engineered my FLIR Breach. I managed to figure out most serial commands. I was able to build an app to remote control it, modify the overlay information on the screen, FFC and all things. In the process I also bricked one and had to spend €2500 for a new one 😬
English

Anyway, it's cooling down now.
Little more complicated to start this one vs the other ones but we figured it out.
First light video soon
