![judegomila's tweet photo. I'd like to share a little about what I've been working on at my new company @ultrametricai with my cofounder @tylerlastovich. We have been exploring how we could automate the startup itself, leaving founders with more time to focus on their exact mission.
Enter our first release of the Open Startup Repo: https://t.co/ecZZRU9iX4
A common foundation for transparent automation of the startup.
After close to 20 years in silicon valley, backing hundreds of amazing founders & startups, being in the trenches of founding Heyzap (YC08), then solo founding @golden, going through 2 acquisitions and working behind the scenes with some of the iconic companies today, I'm witnessing the largest change to how we work I could have imagined - a truly monumental era of creative abundance.
I believe the next generation of companies will largely run themselves: from operations, code, product upgrades, growth, vendor control & selection, process execution, special situations, strategy etc etc. That leaves founder time for 'the art' at the very niche core: the (currently) unautomatable, the special leaps humans tend to make, and north star setting.
We want founders to go super deep into the main problem they are trying to solve and not get held up doing anything else, from searching for domain availability with trademark checks to setting their company up, to running their processes on autopilot.
So to help that broad foundational layer for starting and running a company, we have spent around a year exploring how to help founders focus on their mission across different verticals, geos, stages and initial starting conditions.
Our first few attempts at making something useful actually failed as the market and AI was moving so fast; it just got absorbed into the models or other product releases. We saw polsia happen, openclaw, then grokbot, muse, dots, etc era as the astras, fables, opuses, kimis and jevs rolled out. What seemed to have been missing along the way was a common repo to identify, unify, open and normalize all the lego bricks that startups have to interact with (vendors, processes, business logic, law, best practices, surface areas, art of the possible).
As the number of software vendors blew up, the interfaces to drive them multiplied, the international startup founder blew up as silicon valley moved from a specific location to a state of mind and global movement. Unlimited pre seed funding in unlimited vertical sub markets and permutations has brought us to the age of infinity but we have yet to achieve being able to type into an agent a very simple sentence with very complex implications 'just setup my company and make $1m/m'. We have ended up with a hybrid mismash of computer use, API calls, plugins, shifting surface areas (API/MCP/CLI/plugins/chats/musish futures), and changing model absorption to vendor balance making it an exciting and unstable time.
As our first step we started to rank all the vendors that startups interface to when going about their journey in terms of how agentically controllable they are via their APIs, MCPs, CLIs etc and computer use compatibility as we are largely switching from a UI driven world to the agentic control surfaces and onto full automation. We have 100 ranking areas you can check out with an overall open ranking here: https://t.co/V6XRMME0Ib
Then we looked at the processes that startups do and how the vendors rank for the sub steps or process as a whole and how this changes across geos. Open processes: https://t.co/iSQ90poYxq
Then we started to hack on an open repo for startups that would contain all the components we are going to need for a common foundation for founders across the globe even if our gov processes vary so much from Bengaluru to SF or Lisbon to Shenzhen. The founder spirit is geo-invariant.
We have looked at special founder/startup situations, the business logic that will make open modules for the startup that we can hack on together, ranked law firms, government services and interfaces, stacks that go well together. We have mapped the law and lore that maps to startups and the schemas that make up the data objects and documents. But also the open documents and the missing gaps. MUCH TO DO.
All the BS processes and fluff work that founders waste their time on needs to goto zero. I want to see more supersonic planes, cancer drugs, seemingly impossible missions done and increase the bang for buck founders have with their funding.
This is a work in progress and we are keen for the community to come hack on the repo with us here: https://t.co/ecZZRU9iX4
Lets get into the structure of the general repo and the visualizations we made on https://t.co/XEYK9ipnfI site with example links:
- Open rankings: https://t.co/V6XRMME0Ib
- Open rankings example (online payments): https://t.co/1kXHZCVfIi
- Open ranking example 2 (cap table): https://t.co/oqBjatGkfW
- Open processes: https://t.co/iSQ90poYxq
- Open process example (Incorporate C-Corp) https://t.co/pxKUXpW03D
- Open situations that founders face: https://t.co/AFzAp5FRPk
- Open startup simulator (you can test our different initial starting conditions): https://t.co/QqPek01J7K
- Open modules (e.g. cap table, payroll logic etc - we'd love help improving these) https://t.co/sfzIhgAJYS
- Open law (we are interested in how law changes the processes, situations and normalizing this over time) https://t.co/5yJnYbC0bk
- Open lore (we are interested in the historical lore of startups, the rules of thumb and heuristics that might guide your agent): https://t.co/gjliXoQwe1
- Open fields (we are interested in how the schema for the data connects to the open modules, business logic, open documents and artifacts of each process eg how is a EIN defined?) https://t.co/59rcEXhnCx
- Open documentation (eg SAFE notes and missing! docs) https://t.co/BbvBow2Olt
We have looked at YC companies as well in terms of which ones do well agentically: https://t.co/snnJ83r9ly
We are interested in stacks and how people are changing their work: https://t.co/wFHoew5V9I
We are interested in what is automatable and where the agentic ceiling is currently and how to push that up in all areas: https://t.co/WmTDjmNyV4
There is more for you to explore and a lot more coming in terms of how you will be able to navigate business in an optimal way in your chosen surface area; whether you are hanging in grokbot, dots, muse, claude, terminal, chat, or whatever is coming up in this exciting time.
We have a lot of data to collect, clean up and help agents navigate the vast landscape emerging functionality the entire startup ecosystem has to offer.
Come join us getting your vendor in, ranked or that access pattern you have wanted or getting the data more accurate in terms of which vendor is best for a process or steps. Or open a module of something that currently cost money that could be free.
Also come play in our discord for founders and join the chaos (we can solve each others issues including fund raising tips from me personally): https://t.co/AmBtzFy0Bz
It's time to lift all the boats in the harbor and I'm extremely excited as to what the community of hackers and painters will hack into the repo, what asks they will have and whether we can shift normalization of processes globally, gov agentic interfaces and have common repo for founders that grows over time. I expect a lot of experimentation along the way, bugs and upside...
I appreciate our backers having faith in us as well from @ycombinator with @garrytan to @immad doing a sizable check (congrats on $1bn rev homie) to @darbyw (congrats on Stripe buying @clerkyinc), @drewhouston form @Dropbox and also @pioneer_fund @tomerlondon cto @GustoHQ and hopefully this is 'boring' and complex enough for Charlie Songhurst :> @delingpole @Liquid2V @ivolo from @segment @ryanpowe @sonicaghi of @kong @DellyTamer+ other supporters (@michaelwfrank, Fundamental ventures and if I missed you sorry moving fast!).
[And don't worry, all vendor rankings are open scoring methods so no favors are being done if someone backed us and is a vendor they have to compete with how agentic and automatable they are just like anyone else.]
PS: we have bugs and many quality upgrades to make but thought better to go out early and fix as a community.
PPS: we have other stuff to launch we just thought this was a great place to start and have 200 PRs coming out pretty soon but I still want to know what is broken or doesnt make sense or inaccurate.
Special thanks to current and past team members for getting us here and all the experiments we did you know who you are.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HVQupqXbYAAj__2.jpg)

Our agent harness allows Astra to learn from its previous runs. We found that, over time, it improves significantly at this task through learning several key things:
- "A flat fork required nearly vertical fingers" (to grasp it)
- "A thin utensil may require grasping close to tabletop height"
- "A tilted wrist may be unable to descend at long reach; approaching above the container at a lower height before tilting can make placement reachable"
PhD teaches you time is cheap and money is expensive.
Startup teaches you the inverse.
Introducing the new Wally model catalog.
7 new open models, live now:
- Kimi K3
- DeepSeek V4 Pro (Fast)
- GLM-5.3 (Fast)
- MiniMax M3
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (Fast)
- DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017
- DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
10 models. One API key.

You’re not talking to someone who woke up a loser. That loser attitude, that loser premise makes no sense to me.
Breaking news: Nothing Happened at the plant floor today.... That's the point!
A million hours of what?
If we’re scaling human demonstrations for robot learning, what should each hour contain?
We built S1, our skill capture glove, alongside our robot hand to record joint movements that map to robot targets, with touch and video on the same timeline.
I'd like to share a little about what I've been working on at my new company @ultrametricai with my cofounder @tylerlastovich. We have been exploring how we could automate the startup itself, leaving founders with more time to focus on their exact mission.

We have looked at YC companies as well in terms of which ones do well agentically: https://t.co/snnJ83r9ly
We are interested in stacks and how people are changing their work: https://t.co/wFHoew5V9I
We are interested in what is automatable and where the agentic ceiling is currently and how to push that up in all areas: https://t.co/WmTDjmNyV4
There is more for you to explore and a lot more coming in terms of how you will be able to navigate business in an optimal way in your chosen surface area; whether you are hanging in grokbot, dots, muse, claude, terminal, chat, or whatever is coming up in this exciting time.
We have a lot of data to collect, clean up and help agents navigate the vast landscape emerging functionality the entire startup ecosystem has to offer.
Come join us getting your vendor in, ranked or that access pattern you have wanted or getting the data more accurate in terms of which vendor is best for a process or steps. Or open a module of something that currently cost money that could be free.
Also come play in our discord for founders and join the chaos (we can solve each others issues including fund raising tips from me personally): https://t.co/AmBtzFy0Bz
It's time to lift all the boats in the harbor and I'm extremely excited as to what the community of hackers and painters will hack into the repo, what asks they will have and whether we can shift normalization of processes globally, gov agentic interfaces and have common repo for founders that grows over time. I expect a lot of experimentation along the way, bugs and upside...
I appreciate our backers having faith in us as well from @ycombinator with @garrytan to @immad doing a sizable check (congrats on $1bn rev homie) to @darbyw (congrats on Stripe buying @clerkyinc), @drewhouston form @Dropbox and also @pioneer_fund @tomerlondon cto @GustoHQ and hopefully this is 'boring' and complex enough for Charlie Songhurst :> @delingpole @Liquid2V @ivolo from @segment @ryanpowe @sonicaghi of @kong @DellyTamer+ other supporters (@michaelwfrank, Fundamental ventures and if I missed you sorry moving fast!).
[And don't worry, all vendor rankings are open scoring methods so no favors are being done if someone backed us and is a vendor they have to compete with how agentic and automatable they are just like anyone else.]
PS: we have bugs and many quality upgrades to make but thought better to go out early and fix as a community.
PPS: we have other stuff to launch we just thought this was a great place to start and have 200 PRs coming out pretty soon but I still want to know what is broken or doesnt make sense or inaccurate.
Special thanks to current and past team members for getting us here and all the experiments we did you know who you are.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HVQuuKsagAAXo-G.jpg)
Today we're launching Ploy Effects.
Ask for a liquid-metal logo, a halftone photo, or an animated background, and Ploy builds it into your site, tuned to your brand.
A site that grows should also feel great to visit. Built on @paper's shaders.
Three major announcements today:
1/ our first supersonic turbine core is complete and shipping to test
2/ our 2GW Superpower Superfactory in south Denver is already making parts
3/ we are building our own advanced all-digital foundry to make single crystal turbine blades
Your AI works fast. You're still working late.
We just shipped Supernova, the new Awesomic. Agents, your team and vetted experts work on the same project, on a real cloud machine.
Here's what's under the hood 🧵
Established companies will at best adapt to AI. Newly founded startups will be AI-native from the start. This is an interesting example of a company in the middle, which (by great effort) remade itself as an AI-native company.
Super smart idea, this is going to be the default way to buy and sell data
introducing land search and enrich api + mcp
billions of real world data points, structured for agents to make decisions.
now your agents can:
> find matching land across 160M+ parcels.
> filter and rerank using 550 available data fields.
> compare assets using structured data with sources.
fetch, our location data api, got 4M+ calls. and we just made it completely free.
built for agent speed and scale. dirt cheap.

Today Boom unveils our first completed supersonic turbine core, a 2GW Superfactory, and—one more thing—the world's most advanced all-digital foundry to cast single crystal turbine blades and vanes https://t.co/q2KpL3dZi2
The next YC Paper Club is AI for Bio! It’ll be a great time — join!
We’re thrilled to share that Lamin is now generally available! With just a few clicks, anyone can create a database on https://t.co/3zIxWeO17Q
In 2022, we set out to build an open-source data management tool that’d make it easier to scale AI workflows in the life sciences. Over the past few years, we’ve served research labs and enterprises of all sizes with what used to take a dozen tools:
- Data lineage
- Format-agnostic lakehouse
- Notes, ELN, LIMS, ontologies
- Versioning, branching
- Data lake, catalog
- Agents, workflows, notebooks
- Feature store, MLOps
With Lamin, it’s just Postgres and storage in a Python package, plus an optional GitHub-like web platform.
Give it a try: pip install lamindb
Thanks to @_DimensionCap and @ycombinator and many others who made this possible

@radbackwards y’all just out here making stuff up now
today, we're excited to announce change reports.
@raindrop_ai watches every PR and sends you slack dm's on how your agent changes actually performed in production
Introducing AI Skills: a framework to score how well an engineer manages coding agents.
In the last year, the biggest challenge in engineering became how do you manage agents.
Today, we've solved that. We built a model to judge every prompt across six dimensions:
