CEO @OpenRouterAI, the largest LLM marketplace. Previously: co-founder & CTO @OpenSea.
Excited to announce a $40M raise for @OpenRouterAI (seed + A), led by a16z & Menlo! LLM inference will be the biggest software market in the world. We've become the #1 control plane. Here's what's next:
took some time but i vibe coded my own ERC-721 contract and minted the game as a playable NFT (plays great on opensea) i am open to offers 👇
i vibe coded a little game called Coldplay Canoodlers you're the camera operator and you have to find the CEO and HR lady canoodling 10 points every time you find them 👇link
Highly recommend trying git worktrees if you haven’t already. "git worktree add ../project-name__your-new-branch" Allows you to try multiple models on the same prompt in @cline, in multiple windows. And you come away with a better sense of which model is better for what.
United airplane wifi is so terrible. I guess the years of tweeting about how Starlink is coming soon hasn't fixed it.
We really need a good public model benchmark for doing fundamental stock analysis. Vibe investing is already a thing, but there's no real AI product for it yet (not even a benchmark?) And it could be highly profitable. Who is working on this?
shoutout OpenRouter for having such sick data openrouter.ai/rankings?view=…
AI can be a great teacher for self-taught if you choose the right models for each purpose. Switch teachers when a more knowledgeable one arrives in the internet school. @OpenRouterAI helps you find the best AI model based on your needs.
If you're building an AI-powered tool for small teams, tell us @OpenRouterAI about it! We try out many, provide lots of valuable feedback, and evangelize the best ones to others.
Kimi is everywhere!
Access models like Kimi K2 as soon as they're available with BYOK in @code
This is the only real benchmark that actually matters in AI.

One of the best agent definitions I’ve seen!
This is what they call "an agent."
