Why exclude Grok Bot? Loving the browser automation!

Muse and Instinct are the first credible threats to ChatGPT since launch.

It is accessible. It is everywhere consumers already are.

The model performance is great for consumer use cases.

Bad for OpenAI.

@danellisona Discounting your own cost of living while you build?

In an era of agentic search and commerce, social influence and advertising will only become more and more valuable.

Amazon has blocked Meta Platforms’s new artificial intelligence agent from its retail site after the social media company declined a request to remove the bot https://t.co/XlzL1HLL5n

@jayyeh Definitely yes! + @suhsho07

Not unlike the many wins they gifted Verstappen last season. Good going, McLaren!

[mo ✮ @russellatte]

mclaren just gifted the win to antonelli

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

Can you imagine Red Bull ever doing this to Verstappen? 😓

He was in the lead with a 6s gap. I mean, seriously..

[ray @ln4norris]

NO COMMENT.

They just never learn, do they? :|

[🥀 @buckethatlando]

unbelievable lmao

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

Building multi-agent systems on chat using @infiloop2’s insane infra. Truly mind-blown!

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

Will enterprises keep paying a premium for proprietary models or shift to open source? Who knows! It’ll probably come down to whether frontier labs can build capabilities open source rivals can’t replicate.

But whichever way it resolves, tokens still run through a hyperscaler.

Google always wins.

Why bother fighting for the best model, when you own the engine that powers it all.

@naval Buttonless, navigation free UIs are the dream. Zero friction to onboarding and trying new tools

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

Ranking Claude by task, god to intern:

1. Code
2. Excel
3. App design
4. Slides
….
100. Writing a document I'd actually send 😭

Time to relabel large “language” models as large “math” models?

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

Managing agents and people appears similar, but isn’t. Both need constant context switching across parallel work. But with people quality is guaranteed by a whole system - hiring, incentives, accountability. With agents you pay that cost for variable output. Not always efficient!

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

@paulg “GTM” more attractive to top talent, esp those who care about labels

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

Started using Glean recently - what a product! Connects to everything across email, drive, notes. Completely removes the friction of uploads, data limits, and detailed context prompts.

Happy to let the agents work while I doomscroll in peace.

Starting the new year with Inbox 0 - best feeling!! :)

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

Lost my nana recently, and reflecting on his life - particularly how his passion for his work (lawyer) helped him cope with the loss of two daughters. He was an inspiration, who taught me that work can truly be a source meaning, direction, and happiness

[Aakarshi Agarwal @Aakarshi_A]

@AkshatAg18 Another way to do it would be to just have shorter papers, which are actually readable. It would also teach you skills in writing, synthesis, communication that are actually of use.

@chiaseedpuddin For some reason maasi feels a lot more acceptable than aunty, thought they’re basically the same thing 😅
