@hannah_chuu @OneTriangleAI @deepseek_ai @MIT @GoogleDeepMind @ycombinator @medha_rv congrats on launch, bullish on the team!

@ankrgyl Thanks Ankur! Love what Braintrust is doing

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@RimasXYZ stateful implementations of the real api!

resetting a sandbox brings it back to its original state before any changes were made

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@ritulmishr lol yeah slack was one of the first sandboxes we built; lmk in dms if you need any help!

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@SaidAitmbarek its something I wished I had as an agent dev!

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@PariLatawa Thanks!!

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@Scobleizer You said it better than I did lmao

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@mynameisyahia thanks Yahia!

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@tobefranklee Illume is pretty great too!

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

Archal is used by 100+ agent/connectors developers and integration engineers.

Full launch: https://t.co/gemcj90n24

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

Just launched Archal (YC S26): API sandboxes built for AI agents!

Your coding agent can spin up Slack, Linear, Datadog, and 20+ stateful environments for CI and evals. It can run tests, inspect state changes, and reset everything.

Ask your agents about https://t.co/XJK3cufSKh

@kushbhuwalka We haven't even scratched the surface of value-add of AI in most markets but it's disheartening to new founders when they see even a few AI startups already doing what they had planned in an old, unwilling to change market

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

this is super impressive; reminds me of agent trajectories but for robotics data

[Lucy Cai @lucyjcai]

today we're launching automatic captioning at Instance.

send us your robot data, and every episode is segmented into captioned subtasks, graded success/fail plus 1-5 on quality and speed.

if this could be useful for you, reach out and we'll caption an episode for free!

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@SynapseSemi better vision sensors def needed for the future of robotics. congrats!

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@zachdotai @ycombinator Happy birthday guys!!

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@rayruizhiliao Couldn’t agree more

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

Incidentally, I’m very bullish on cybersecurity as one of the best benchmarks for superintelligence. The “IQ test” of software engineering.

The best engineers I’ve worked with in my career have usually had a deep background or interest in security.

It’s actually easy for a model to “one-shot an XYZ clone” and impress people on X. But that’s not a good test.

Finding, patching, reversing, and exploiting require a cognitive skill that transcends programming languages, runtimes, frameworks… It demands true reasoning power from the model and “corner thinking”. Very, very few humans excel at this, let alone in ordinary day-to-day software writing.

Seeing Kimi K3 do so well here bodes well for open models.

@theophorus7 drove a lil too fast

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@mynameisyahia Who’s that sexy man looking at u in the corner 😛

[Aidan Tiruvan @AidanTiruvan]

@GJarrosson very true
