Easy reason for self-driving cars in Boston - we are the most family friendly urban city in America and these cars will be way safer for our kids. Love to see Mayor Wu step up here and make sure Boston leads @wutrain
Really fun joining @jaanakprashar and @JaagatP to talk AI research, building a bio company, and startups generally. Thx for having me!
Very excited to share a new episode with Ankit Gupta (@GuptaAnkitV)! We talked about: - Scientific challenges in AI x Biology - The art of conviction & how to build a successful startup - The future of personalized, multimodal AI healthcare open.spotify.com/episode/0nzBU7… Enjoy! :)
your coding agent sucks because it lacks context. so I built nia to fix that. here is how you can 10x your coding agent (thread):
This is the #1 most important piece of advice for technical founders. You and your co-founders should share a common language with mutual trust and respect. If you're technical.....most likely that'll be with someone else that's technical.
If you are a technical founder, you do not need a non-technical cofounder.
@GuptaAnkitV doing a marathon AMA on applying to YC — still time to jump in! PS from me: just apply. you know you want to.
OK I replied to something like 200 DM'd questions today. Keep em coming! One of the most common questions I got is "is it too early to apply" and the answer is absolutely not. If you have a cofounder and an idea, you are ready to apply.

If you’re a team of engineers that likes working together and has a startup idea, you should apply! If you’re unsure whether you should, my DMs are open and I’ll do my best to reply quickly. Ask away!

We’re Design Arena - the world’s one and only benchmark for AI design. Join us today. Cast your vote. designarena.ai
Three weeks ago, we started building an AI game engine. But some models kept making things look... sloppy. So we turned finding the best one into a game. In three weeks, that game grew to 35K+ users across 135 countries. Introducing @designarena_ai, the fastest-growing…
This is pretty awesome. Until now, I wasn’t aware of a great benchmark for visually appealing design and this has been a key area where codegen models fail in my experience. Excited to see @designarena_ai release a new benchmark and try to solve this!

This whiteboard animation was generated entirely by AI. No humans involved. We're excited to launch Golpo - an AI video generator that turns your documents into whiteboard animation videos. Golpo produced the video below from our Stanford RL research paper with zero human…
One of the most interesting things about watching this is 12 years later the YC interview hasn’t changed at all. Almost makes me wonder if we should bring back the live audience component
Watch @typesfast pitch Flexport to Paul Graham and Sam Altman for the first time at Startup School 2013:
Team Cua is at ICML this week! We're hanging around the Ollama booth in the Exhibit Hall - come say hi and chat about Computer-Use Agents and Agentic RPA. We’re also giving out free credits to try our new cua.ai Container Platform. 1/6
The @gigaml founders are in the elite founder tier for both IQ and how hardcore their work ethic is. At their current growth rate, they'll be one of the leading AI companies within a year. There's nowhere better to join for the most hardcore engineers: jobs.ashbyhq.com/gigaml
if you're in your 20s + a CS major, you've prolly thought through these scenarios: - work at Big Tech (i've worked hard to get here, i made it) - make a startup (its hot, seems fire, I want to be in YC) - join a startup (why would I grind on smtg that's not mine) 🧵 below
