@HenryYin_ Congrats team!!

Most AI investing happens downstream of the frontier: a capability emerges, a category gets named, and capital rushes in. But by the time a category earns a clean box on a market map, the best builders have usually been living in the messy version for months. Agents. Reasoning. RL environments. World models. AI for Science. Recursive self-improvement. I call this frontier proximity: the ability to see what is becoming possible before it becomes consensus. My frontier proximity ladder: L0 Wrapper: uses today’s models. L1 Reactor: reacts fast to releases, but roadmap is downstream. L2 Anticipator: builds for where capabilities are going. L3 Native: depends on a non-obvious frontier bet. L4 Shaper: helps move the frontier itself. The point is not that every company needs to train models. Apps can have high frontier proximity if they understand what models will make possible next. Infra can have high frontier proximity if it knows what future agents, multimodal systems, robotics stacks, or scientific workflows will need. That is why we’re launching MoE Capital. MoE stands for Mixture of Experts. The idea is simple: build an AI fund around people closest to the frontier: frontier researchers, technical founders, AI-native builders, and seasoned operators. We don’t want to be another AI fund with a newsletter-level understanding of the frontier. We want to build the AI fund closest to the frontier.

@archiemckenzie_ @edoardocontente @GeneralTxn Screening for γλυκυθυμία

@edoardocontente @GeneralTxn @crestonbrooks inshallah we get the chance to work alongside creston and alexis one day

new @generaltxn interview question: what’s the accusative plural of the Greek noun ναῦς ?

@hanhanhan_kim @fearn_ai No wrappers in this house ❌

Patent systems are first-to-file. It's produced a quiet two-tier system: well-funded companies file in 48 hours. Everyone else waits weeks. Today we're announcing @fearn_ai's $5.5M seed to end that gap. 🧵

@DimitrisPapail @giffmana I drink therefore I am

@giffmana The AI can’t drink the glass of water for me!!!

Even if all of technical work required to do research is automated, research does not become automated. And that's cool.

@jyangballin Streameast 🏀

Thinking about what new tasks to put in programbench v2. What software programs (CLI tool/executables? Local apps? Websites?) would u wanna see models try building from scratch?

@Chen @speedrun unfair advantage @Chen

every early-stage startup needs attention. your weekend vibecoded website isn't cutting it you watch videos but don't know how to make one 'new media' seems distant, inaccessible you can't tell your story, so others won't either. here at @speedrun we've designed brand, story, and launch programs to help fix this. if you're still considering applying, I'd love to work with you later this year. DMs always open to founders or creatives looking to work with us.

@dioscuri @itsFelipeDoria Non experts with AI familiarity can tell pretty robustly arxiv.org/abs/2501.15654

@itsFelipeDoria I am confident that Turing would have considered that in the wake of results like Jones et al. (5 minute tests in which humans vs LLMs scored below chance at AI identification), his own test was effectively redundant. arxiv.org/abs/2503.23674

This is wrong; we are not post-Turing test. A non-expert can easily tell they're chatting with an LLM after a few messages if they ask the right questions (even when the LLM pretends to be a human).

@edoardocontente *keeps scrolling*

too much information. the need to prune unimportant context has never been more acute (and will only grow)

@ankithharathi @nitinrajini congrats looks insane!

Announcing: Househunt - monopoly with real houses 3 years ago @nitinrajini and I became obsessed with a single stat Zillow has 220M monthly active users but less 5M homes are sold every year The vast majority of people browse houses because it's fun. Fun to dream about what you could buy if you had more money, or could live somewhere else So we made a game where you can live out all your real estate fantasies @playhousehunt is monopoly with real houses - guess house prices, buy, renovate, and sell homes to build your dream real estate empire

@eleelenawa @MaCVentureCap @fcubedvc @speedrun Congratssss let’s go taya

Taya is jewelry first. Surveillance never. We just raised $5M led by @MaCVentureCap, @fcubedvc, a16z @speedrun. Directional mics and voice isolation capture just you. Single-player mode. Privacy isn't a feature, it's an architectural decision. TechCrunch exclusive in the comments! 👇

I am a coding agent maximalist Almost every software product should be rethought along the lines of “what if this was powered by Claude Code?”

@MccarterErnest is this how u push prod over at gt?

the length of a commit message is inversely proportional to the skill of the committer

@vivekkolli Could still use a little more media training I think

My first panel back in June 2025 at ETH CC I have gone through media training since then

@jasondeanlee Based

Just got kicked out of the openai slack channel for saying prism is crap and they shouldn't expect the general public on wasting time to be their beta testers.

@edoardocontente Shout out llama factory 🙌

The litmus test for whether you thought deeply about an LLM framework is whether you implemented tokenization/ chat templating correctly, succinctly and explicitly

@itsFelipeDoria Shout out to the Shrimp Welfare project

This reads like an Onion article

@MccarterErnest Someone had to say it

let’s be real, if you’re 25 or older, you should be using proper capitalization and punctuation

@MccarterErnest @cognition When Nahuatl?

proud to announce we have partnered with @cognition to launch their docs for devin in 7 languages: - English - Spanish - Japanese - Chinese (simplified) - French - German - Portuguese - Italian it’s live now!
