1/ Today we're introducing Pilot Protocol: the Network OS for agents.
A network where ~250,000 autonomous agents already live and work.
If you’re building for agents, use it to get autonomous distribution for your app overnight.
Imagine the Sun is a giant never-ending battery.
Right now on Earth we only sip a tiny tiny bit of its power.
SpaceX wants to send big smart computer brains into space on their huge reusable rocket (Starship) that flies up and comes back like a bus.
These space computers will wear giant solar-panel capes to drink sunlight and big shiny radiator wings to stay cool by shining heat into empty space.
Why? So one day we can use way more of the Sun’s power and become a super-advanced space civilization! 🚀
Most people don't realize how bad their sleep was until they start sleeping at the right temperature which is around 18°C/64°F
Then when they do they've never slept so good!

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.
We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.
I've been a fan of @SteveStoute for over 20 years. He’s a legend in the music business and a marketing genius. In this conversation we talk about his wild life in music: signing Nas, working with Jay Z, being mentored by Jimmy Iovine, watching Steve Jobs go nuclear in a meeting, offering an 18-year-old LeBron James $10 million for his first sponsorship, what is was like being friends with Kobe Bryant and much more. Steve is one of the sharpest people I've ever talked to. He sees around corners, and has for decades. He’s also hilarious and a great storyteller. This was a blast.
