Memento mori

[Gilad Mishne @gilad]

We're winding down Yupp today. It was a hard decision, but I'm proud of what we built: 1.3M+ users, an amazing community, and a team I'd work with again in a heartbeat. Grateful to everyone who was part of it.
Thank you thank you thank you.

@joshelman @clairevo aligns with global mood this morning

[Gilad Mishne @gilad]

Not sure I agree with Ethiopia parallel to Iran
- multiple armed actors, atrocities on many sides, messy setup in Ethiopia vs single obviously terrible actor in Iran
- opposing Iran's regime perceived in Europe as aligning with US hawks which both the governments and residents of Europe avoid; not so with Ethiopia
- protesting Iran carries some personal risk - claims of Islamophobia, potential violence; protesting Ethiopia carries no risk (and also doesn't bring any social reward, of the type protesting against Israel brings)

Also, Russia likely perceived as lost cause too, yet plenty of protests in Europe against them.

[Gilad Mishne @gilad]

Dunno, I'm mystified. But maybe some combination of:
- Historical guilt resulting in well -meaning recoil from violence
- Significant local immigrant population from areas that are in conflict with Israel
- Naivete wrt geopolitics in general and in the Middle East in particular
- Lack of visibility into Iran vs more transparency into Gaza
- Economic interests
But I'm still puzzled about the silence of major organizations and governments, Iran deserves better

[Gilad Mishne @gilad]

@adam_messinger Most of Europe does not back Israel though, and yet protests for Gaza were louder there, and speaking up about Iran is weaker; ditto UN and large NGOs. So there are other underlying reasons?

Real user feedback matters in model evaluation. ✨GPT-5.2 Instant, meant for everyday work, is #1 on @yupp_ai’s Text Leaderboard while GPT-5.2 (High) is #1 on our SVG Leaderboard. @openai’s strategy of releasing model variants suited to the task looks sound. Congrats @openai! 🎉

👀Introducing a brand new @yupp_ai SVG leaderboard ranking frontier models on the generation of coherent and visually appealing SVGs!

Gemini 3 Pro by @GoogleDeepMind takes the crown as the most powerful model! 👏

We’re also releasing a public SVG dataset. Details in🧵

@yustalim preparing for the SF move?

Was my school district's reaction to graffiti calling to kill certain people "regardless of politics, that language is not ok, because it can harm kids who are not said certain people"?

Yes. Yes it was. 🤔

[Jimmy Lin @lintool]

Over the past ~8 hours, @yupp_ai users from around the world have been going 🍌🍌for the new Google Nano Banana Pro model - it sits atop our Image leaderboard by a wide margin! Congrats @sundarpichai and @Google for building on Gemini 3.0 to produce the world’s best image model!

[Jimmy Lin @lintool]

You’ve seen results from previews, but this is the first from the public API, based on feedback from everyday users around the world: @sundarpichai and @Google have released the world’s best AI in Gemini 3.0, blowing away all others on the @yupp_ai leaderboard by 100+ points.

Sad to hear of the layoffs at Meta. We’re hiring AI engineers and researchers (and many other roles) across all levels at @yupp_ai.

My DMs are open. Please hit me up.

@gabor you mean instead of copy-pasting your private information into chatgpt so it can train on it, it now can read it directly for you without you noticing? cool cool

Consumer AI is so new that we’re still writing the language of its brand and product design.

In our latest blog, Yupp's design team dives into the deep thinking and meticulous design work that makes Yupp playful, useful, and powerful.
