Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas says he's building a “cognitive operating system.”
Not just a browser, but an ambient AI layer that lives with you.
“Answers are 4–5 searches in one. Actions are an entire browsing session in one prompt.”
The goal isn't search. It's execution.
Introducing Eleven v3 (alpha) - the most expressive Text to Speech model ever.
Supporting 70+ languages, multi-speaker dialogue, and audio tags such as [excited], [sighs], [laughing], and [whispers].
Now in public alpha and 80% off in June.
OpenAI's Greg Brockman says the AGI future looks less like a monolith - and more like a menagerie of specialized agents. Models that call other models.
“We're heading to a world where the economy is fundamentally powered by AI.”
The goal is to unlock 10x more activity, output, and opportunity. AI lowers the barrier to entry. Domain expertise becomes leverage.
Products with extensive/rich UIs lots of sliders, switches, menus, with no scripting support, and built on opaque, custom, binary formats are ngmi in the era of heavy human+AI collaboration.
If an LLM can't read the underlying representations and manipulate them and all of the related settings via scripting, then it also can't co-pilot your product with existing professionals and it doesn't allow vibe coding for the 100X more aspiring prosumers.
Example high risk (binary objects/artifacts, no text DSL): every Adobe product, DAWs, CAD/3D
Example medium-high risk (already partially text scriptable): Blender, Unity
Example medium-low risk (mostly but not entirely text already, some automation/plugins ecosystem): Excel
Example low risk (already just all text, lucky!): IDEs like VS Code, Figma, Jupyter, Obsidian, ...
AIs will get better and better at human UIUX (Operator and friends), but I suspect the products that attempt to exclusively wait for this future without trying to meet the technology halfway where it is today are not going to have a good time.
Sam Altman says Codex was a “feel the AGI” moment.
You give the AI agent tasks. It works in the background. You review, give feedback, repeat.
Today it's an intern. Tomorrow, a full-stack engineer.
“It's not evenly distributed yet, but it's happening.”
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says AI companies like his may need to be taxed to offset a coming employment crisis:
He worries that entry-level white-collar jobs could be replaced within 1–5 years.
“Even if our company stopped… all the other companies would continue. And if they didn't, China would beat us.”
The bus can't be stopped, he says. But maybe it can be steered.
Today, at Build we showed you how we are building the open agentic web. It is reshaping every layer of the stack, and our goal is to help every dev build apps and agents that empower people and orgs everywhere. Here are 5 big things we announced today:
New short course ➡️ Building AI Voice Agents for Production
LLMs can write and reason, but getting them to talk in real time, with low latency, and in a way that actually feels human, is a different challenge.
In this course, created with @LiveKitAgent and @realavatarai, you’ll learn how to build voice agents that can engage in real-time conversations—listening, reasoning, and responding with minimal latency. You’ll implement techniques like voice activity detection and turn-taking to make your agent feel responsive and human.
You’ll follow the same technical architecture behind Andrew Avatar, a voice agent that replies using Andrew Ng’s voice.
If you’ve been meaning to go beyond demos and build voice agents that actually work in production, this course will show you how.
Taught by @dsa, Shayne Parmelee, and Nedelina Teneva.

A major mistake I made in my undergrad is that I focused way too much on mathematical lens of computing - computability, decidability, asymptotic complexity etc. And too little on physical lens - energy/heat of state change, data locality, parallelism, computer architecture. The former is interesting; The latter bestows power.
🚀 Vibe Filming is the new Vibe Coding.
🎬🎨 "Everything you can imagine is real."
— Pablo Picasso
✨ AI is expanding creative possibilities. First, we had vibe coding—where developers describe their vision, and AI helps bring it to life. Now, it’s time for vibe filming—where storytelling, visuals, and imagination merge in new ways.
🎥 Vibe Filming = Dream it. Prompt it. Watch it unfold.
Just like vibe coding doesn’t replace deep, serious programming, vibe filming won’t replace advanced filmmaking—but it does open up new creative avenues for experimentation, ideation, and expression.
I just made a very quick video about this concept.
Who’s in? Drop 🔥 if you’re exploring AI-powered creativity.
Vibes are liquid 💧
