The crazy part is hearing your own voice!

Say words you only thought, AI is getting closer to turning thoughts into something you can actually use and the possibilities here are hard to ignore

[Neuralink @neuralink]

Through the VOICE trial, Terry is using his Neuralink implant to help fine-tune a brain-to-voice interface for himself and others who can’t speak. He trained the algorithm first by miming speech as best he could, then by simply thinking the words and hearing them come out in his own natural voice.

@shaigranit @github the most honest changelog I've seen all week

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

One prompt + one image → a playable ski game

GPT-6 Astra & Rodin MCP handled most of the heavy lifting

Game development is getting weirdly accessible

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

@sauda_coder Nice

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

@minchoi that's a lot of context-switching between models lol, how do you keep the handoffs clean?

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

@CodeByPoonam Honestly, Gemini 4’s visual style takes the crown for me here_the energy and vibrant colors just hit different. But Grok 4.6’s wild, unhinged take is a very close second! What about you?

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

@yevloop Absolutely. That’s exactly the approach I’m taking. I’m trying to stay ruthless about scope and focus on solving one painful problem really well before adding anything else

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

I left a senior AI role at Ollama to build a financial iOS app on my own money

I don't find any investors tbh so trying to build it with my own funds

Every feature has to earn its place, building in public from here

What should a financial app do better, any suggestion?

[Xiaoyin Qu @quxiaoyin]

We just launched Agentsky @agentsky_dev, world’s 1st Agent Market!
OpenRouter is for models. AgentSky is for agents.

Use 40+ agents—Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Pi in your browser(even your phone!) or via one API. All without installing or setting up anything.

Hit Codex Astra’s weekly limit? Hand off to another agent such as OpenCode + DeepSeek V4.1 in browser without losing any context.

You can compare any agent + model directly in browser and that's how I found Astra costs $5.3 while deepseek v4.1 cost $0.12 on the same dashboard task. (I actually preferred deepseek)

Try it at https://t.co/m1ARPKrG8h

If you can try any agent easily without install, which agent do you want to try next? Type the agent name and I will give $20 credit (you can use it for any model)

What is a decision model?

Jev by @typesafeai answers yes/no and multiple-choice questions, with a confidence score. Much of software development are a sequence of decisions, and Jev is 10x cheaper and faster than an LLM.

Let’s understand this through practical examples:

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

Jev is HERE and this is the CLEAREST explanation of what it is and what NEW businesses it unlocks.

(and at the end I'll tell you how to get Jev even if you're on the waitlist)

WHAT IT IS

You know how you open your inbox and have to decide what's junk, what needs a reply, and what can wait? Jev does that part. It looks at each thing and says "this is junk, I'm 94% sure."

It doesn't write anything back to you. It just sorts.

1,700 emails for 18 cents, instantly.

That sounds kinda trivial but the important part

WHAT IT UNLOCKS

My explanation of Jev sounds small until you realize HOW MANY jobs are exactly this. Someone reading a stack of applications. Someone deciding which support ticket goes to which team. Someone looking at inbound and deciding who's worth calling back.

A few ideas on what it unlocks:

1/ Instant quotes that are actually instant. Every quote form on the internet says "we'll email you by end of day." Build the version that answers in under a second, for roofers, movers, insurance, legal intake.

2/ Lead scoring as a product. Every agency and service business has a contact form full of junk. Score every submission and send the real ones straight to the owner's phone.

3/ Support triage for companies with no support team. The ticket gets classified and routed before anyone opens it.

4/ Clipping tools. Pass in a transcript, get the best moments scored in three seconds. Every clipping product just got a cheaper engine.

5/ Application piles. Grants, permits, insurance claims, job apps, loan docs. Someone reads that stack one item at a time today.

6/ Marketplace matching. Someone types what they need and gets matched to the right local business instantly instead of waiting for callbacks.

7/ Browser agents that actually move FAST. That makes bulk browser work practical: pulling quotes from five carriers, filing the same form for 200 clients, checking supplier inventory in real time etc.

TLDR; find an expensive queue and put Jev at the front of it.

HOW TO GET IT

I didn't realize you can skip the waitlist because Jev is live on the Vercel AI Gateway right now, so you can start calling it today. In this episode, we share how.

Episode now live on @startupideaspod (thanks to @ryanvogel for coming on and spilling the sauce today)

Watch: https://t.co/sLdIUdmrCx

Jev is a big deal because this is a whole new way to do AI

Really cool

Happy Jev day.

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

@Widmdge sure it worth trust me, check it out here @typesafeai

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

A model that cannot write a single word, built only to decide

Jev could sit before every LLM call for routing and classification

Independent benchmarks will tell the real story

Would you use it?

[Diogo Almeida @CompleteSkeptic]

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?

I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev

• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions

AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

JEV is INSANE 🤯

We gave it 1.7 million mentions

In 53 seconds, it scored 1,759,932 buying signals across Reddit, X, Bluesky, Hacker News and Facebook, and drafted 6,752 replies in the voice of your last 20 posts.

All for just $0.65.

JEV can also rank intent and product fit, flag when a competitor gets named, weigh the poster's reach, and tell you which threads to reply to now and which to just watch.

Coming soon to RedReplier + MCP.

Comment "JEV" for early access.

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

@CompleteSkeptic congrats diogo, you did great job guys respect

[Vercel @vercel]

Jev was adopted faster than any other model in AI Gateway history.

In the first day, @typesafeai reached ~13% of teams, 2x the GPT-5.6 family and 6x Fable 5.1.

[TypeSafe AI @typesafeai]

@OpenRouter 🤝 @typesafeai

[Laurent @Laurentxdev]

I shipped an app I never read

It worked on the first run, two days later it broke and I could not find why

Now I commit before every AI change and run tests after every session

Which rule would you add guys

[Figure @Figure_robot]

Today we’re releasing Helix 2.5

We rented 30 homes in the Bay Area. The robots arrived with no additional training and started doing useful work
