YC needs a new AI compliance tool in its portfolio
Delve's customers need a new AI compliance tool (though hard to build trust again)
I hear opportunity! 👀👀
YC and Delve have parted ways.
I still remember the day we took our YC interview at MIT.
We’re so grateful to the community and every founder friend we’ve made.
We'll continue to support every young founder striving to make the world a better place.
The AI music landscape in 2026.
This week we mapped 46 generative AI tools … the ethical, the unethical, and everything in between.
Here’s how we break out our categorisation:
————
💿 Full song creation - Generate a complete song based on a text description. Some are ethically trained. Others are trained on scraped, unlicensed music.
🎹 DAW-based - Tools that sit inside your DAW, or function like a DAW, to assist music creation and production (generate chord progressions, basslines or drums).
🎤 Vocal tools - These are optimized to generate vocal sounds (choirs or voice-changing outputs).
🎛️ Remix tools - using AI to mashup or remix existing music.
🖼️ Sync and soundtracks - Generates background audio for podcasts, vlogs, adverts.
🧘♀️ Wellness - Generates audio for focus and wellness apps.
🚨 Attribution and enforcement - Detect AI content, track attribution, flag infringements, and process royalties from generative AI.

The biggest takeaway I have is that lumping generative music AI into one homogenous category and making “good” or “bad” assumptions is not really correct.
The spectrum is WIDE here.
-> Some tools are scraping copyright on a disrespectful level. Others are using clever, ethical new training models.
-> Some tools are killing the creative process with “vending machine” song generation. Others are accelerating creativity in production.

As always, please tell me what I got wrong, what I’m missing, or where you think this goes next!
build an agent that speaks your UI.
your charts. your forms. your seat maps.
multi-turn, streaming, interactive.
introducing tambo 1.0, the open-source generative UI toolkit for react.
Xmax X1, the first real-time interactive video model, is here.
Powered by autoregressive streaming generation, X1 achieves millisecond ultra-low latency and infinite-length generation, enabling truly natural spatial interaction.
Camera is redefined. It’s no longer just a lens, but a magic wand that breaks the barrier between dimensions. Summon virtual beings into your reality and interact with them in real-time.
Live implementation video is below, truely amazing work! Definitely one to watch.
