You won’t truly comprehend the cost of using AI unless you’ve worked exclusively with APIs instead of relying on subscriptions. 😳😳

Claude Opus 4.8. Blah blah blah.
Back to work now.

@powl_d S’ils souhaitent conserver leur statut VIP et accéder aux futures éditions limitées et hypercars, ils n’ont pas d’autre choix. À l’époque, ils avaient tous acheté une Roma, revendue à perte quelques années plus tard.

@vinceflibustier Nop, pas depuis le Canada en tout cas.

Silly me... instead of asking @thsottiaux, all I had to do was to ask Codex to figure it out. Problem solved on desktop.

What's the best way to easily switch between my personal Codex (OpenAI account using OAuth) and my enterprise account using a config.toml w/ enterprise gateway API key?

@IndraVahan thank you for the follow.

@robinebers And to answer your question from one of your tweets today: yes, you should renew your Anthropic subscription. Anthropic is still an amazing model for anything creative and writing. 🙃

Three weeks later my DR is at 35, and my backlinks almost doubled.

I'm closing on 100,000 visitors a month on the site.

What a journey. While this is still not being monetized, it's been an incredible learning experience and challenge to get there.

Let's keep pushing.
See you at 100,000.

[Guillaume @glevd]

Actually wild to see a 25 DR after less than 2 months of active work on the site.

Cheers to another milestone.

[Guillaume @glevd]

@robinebers I would argue that not enough got it!

[Guillaume @glevd]

@kurorosage @marclou Looks like ARR...

Sam isn't 'giving' YC startups $2M.

These are token credits, drawn down only as used. No cash changes hands.

Face value: $392M across 196 startups
~30% will die before burning meaningful tokens
Survivors rarely max out their allocation
OpenAI's real marginal cost: ~$40–60M (compute only)

In return: equity in the strongest YC batch ever.

The greatest growth hack in AI history?

i am excited to see what will happen with tokenmaxxing startups, both for how they work internally and the products they can build.

openai offered to invest $2M in tokens into every startup in the current yc batch.

happy building!

AKA get your customers to buy directly from
gmail after sending them an email campaign.

i'm genuinely curious about its integration throughout the Google apps and android ecosystem.

We’re introducing Universal Cart — a new hub for shopping on Google.

🛍️ It will work across merchants and across services.

🛒 You’ll be able to add things to your cart whether you're shopping on Search, the @GeminiApp, @YouTube or @Gmail.

🛠️ The moment you add a product to your cart, it goes to work for you in the background. It finds deals and price drops, gives you insights on price history and alerts you when something comes back in stock.

🧠 It runs on our Gemini models, so your cart gets even smarter as the models improve.

💡 It also applies intelligent reasoning to your cart to help anticipate your needs. For example, if you add something to your cart that’s incompatible with something you already have in there, your cart catches it and suggests an alternative.

💲 It can find you hidden savings. Since it's built on Google Wallet, your cart understands your payment method perks, loyalty information and merchant offers so you don’t miss out on deals or points.

@theo Gemini 3.5 pro is gonna hurt if it’s as token hungry as the flash one.

[Guillaume @glevd]

Also, can we stop creating new product names every other week!? How are we supposed to understand / memorize any of them

[Guillaume @glevd]

Half of AI Twitter is focused on Gemini 3.5 Flash coding scores… but almost no one is looking at the flip side of the story.

Gemini is quietly turning from an LLM into an agent platform/OS with Spark. It’ll only be available to Ultra subscribers in the US for now, but it feels like the first real step toward democratizing agents for the public.

Google Search is also slowly shifting toward AI Search. And with a universal cart, shopping can start from Gemini, YouTube, Gmail, and more.

Bonus for the people who only care about coding: Gemini 3.5 Pro is expected in the next couple of weeks.
