@artman @karrisaarinen @linear Thanks for making the really hard call!

[Tuomas Artman @artman]

Today is a hard day. I shared this note with the @linear team today: We’ve made the difficult decision to increase our workforce. This is not a cost-cutting exercise or a reflection of anyone’s performance. We’re simply reimagining every role for the agentic AI era. We’re hiring. We’re sorry about that.

[Ganesh Srinivasan @gan3sh]

Great launch from the Oumi team!

[Manos Koukoumidis @Koukoumidis]

🚨 The era of general-purpose AI is over.

Today we're launching Oumi. 🚀

The platform that lets any team build custom AI models — in hours, not months.

Just describe what you need. Oumi builds it. #VibeML

Higher quality. Lower cost. Fully yours.

[Ivan Poupyrev @ipoupyrev]

New benchmark results: Newton beats larger frontier models on Physical AI object reasoning while remaining small enough for real-world, real-time deployment.

This proves our core thesis at @PhysicalAI: making sense of the physical world requires spatiotemporal reasoning - natural for humans, still a frontier challenge for AI.

[Manos Koukoumidis @Koukoumidis]

Sam Altman said that it is "hopeless" to compete with OpenAI, I say that it is plausible.

Had a great time joining The AI Podcast with @Jay Shah to talk about why the future of #AI needs and will be open, and community-driven (@Oumi_PBC).

@deepseek_ai 300 lines of code to get SoTA results? We love to see it in the open source world 🙌

[Gitar @gitarcode]

We are excited to introduce Jimy - the agentic AI to build better software.

Jimy integrates seamlessly across the entire software lifecycle and enables engineering teams to focus on delivering features rather than paying down technical debt.

@dari1063 @ClementDelangue Lets build open source technology in silicon valley like we have done with Spark, Kafka, Kubernetes and countless other such projects. My 2 cents is that the closed source model approach isn't allowing silicon valley to win.

[Manos Koukoumidis @Koukoumidis]

If AI isn’t truly open, it will fail us. We can’t close in a black box our greatest invention yet just so that a few can freely monetize. AI needs its Linux moment, and so we started working towards it. This can only succeed if we all work together!

While we celebrate @deepseek_ai 's release of open-weight models that we can all play with at home, just a friendly reminder that they are not *open-source*; there’s no training / data processing code, and hardly any information about the data.

[Ganesh Srinivasan @gan3sh]

@GergelyOrosz Also rings true for all the open source SaaS companies, open source is free you are primarily paying for the maintaining/operating as a service.

[Ganesh Srinivasan @gan3sh]

@artman Are you sure Summer Lee is not an Artman :)

[Archetype AI @PhysicalAI]

Three of our co-founders, Jaime Lien, Nick Gillian, and @ipoupyrev co-authored the paper “Soli: Ubiquitous Gesture Sensing with Millimeter Wave Radar.”

This research shows how AI and non-visual sensors can create new ways to perceive and interact with the physical world. [1/3]

[Ganesh Srinivasan @gan3sh]

@maheshb @ghaz Glad to see this come out. I think it is much needed for many of the patterns/use-cases in the market today.

[Ganesh Srinivasan @gan3sh]

@sarinasays @GergelyOrosz I think it was this one - https://t.co/iGs31bLdYC

[Ganesh Srinivasan @gan3sh]

@GergelyOrosz AWS is customer obsessed. You can talk to anybody that has worked or interacted and they will swear by it.
It feels like Google wants to treat customers just as A/B test experiments to see what can be a large business.

[Ganesh Srinivasan @gan3sh]

@DarrenBaldwin03 As a footnote. You also need a postgresql author to detect and fix any serious vulnerabilities you have in any parts of your code :)
