Each enterprise I've spoken to is spending their AI token budget quicker than they anticipate... @FactoryAI and @matanSF just came out with model routing which will help lower costs and save tokens without sacrificing performance. Will be huge as AI spend continues to explode!

[Factory @FactoryAI]

Introducing model routing to Factory.

Factory Router picks the right model for every task, automatically.

Maintain frontier performance while cutting costs by 25%.

SpaceX filed its S-1 last week, and my partner @ausw2000 read all 318 pages (and made all the charts) so you don’t have to. The result: three businesses in one — Space, Connectivity (Starlink), and AI. AI is set to become the largest revenue segment within a year.

The company did $18.7B in FY25 revenue, up 33% YoY, and is reportedly expecting a $1.75T valuation that would make it a top-10 company globally.

Let's go! Exciting company at the right time! @ericwu01

Today, I’m launching my newco, NavigateAI. We are short hundreds of thousands of skilled workers and we're on a mission to give every field worker an AI copilot, so they can build faster and better when we need it most. https://t.co/8eOtvosfOn

“And perhaps this is why adult friendship feels increasingly radical. It resists the transactional logic modern life rewards everywhere else. Because a real friend offers something profoundly rare: unoptimised presence.”

Factory has acquired Lumetric (YC W24).

Together, we are deepening our investment in autonomous systems that execute longer-horizon work and self-improve over time. The Lumetric team will be joining Factory and will focus on accelerating the Factory Desktop experience.

New post w/ random thoughts on AI (thread)
I will probably get a # wrong, but here we go :)

1/12 OpenAI & Anthropic now at 0.1% of US GDP *each*
In a year, AI revenue likely to be 1-2% of US GDP

What does AI mean for US GDP growth? Does productivity get lost mismeasured a la internet era?
