@kleffew94 @tavilyai @Microsoft You’re the man @kleffew94! Excited to keep building with you and the team

[Guy Hartstein @guyhartstein]

Was a great time sharing how @tavilyai and @CoinbaseDev are bringing the next billion agents to the web with x402.

Thanks @yorkerhodes and the Microsoft team for hosting a great event!

Great x402 + Tavily presentation at the Microsoft Agentic Commerce Hackathon today in NYC.

Shout out @guyhartstein!

[Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️ @CoinbaseDev]

Real-time web search, agent-payable.

@TavilyAI, the web access layer for the internet of agents, is now on x402.

Paid per query in USDC on @base, no API key or account needed. ↓

[Tavily @tavilyai]

We're excited to announce our partnership with @coinbase to bring Tavily to x402, the open protocol for internet-native agentic payments.

With x402, agents can discover and use Tavily web search at runtime without an API key. Agents use a @Base wallet to pay per-request and get instant results.

The next billion agents will discover, pay for, and use online services fully autonomously. We’re live on https://t.co/Cne0ZiUcpH, and we’re just getting started. More in the comments.

@tavilyai @coinbase @base Hugee!

imo, the most important and interesting problem to work on today is organizing a 'company environment' for your agents to operate in. Concretely - this means creating a filesystem/repo that models your entire company...cc/codex/cursor will live and operate in this repo.

@tavilyai @nebiusai Amazing day for an amazing team 🔥

[Guy Hartstein @guyhartstein]

one thing i’ve observed is that the companies that add tremendous value today excel at applying AI while simultaneously developing infrastructure that’s loathsome to build. AI web search is a great example. Building great infra takes up 98% of developer time, yet the AI aspect drives 98% of the value. Same with agents for enterprise. AI reasoning and tool use drive the visible value, yet 90% of the work is permissions, sandboxing, safeguards, integration with legacy systems etc.

@tavilyai @datadoghq @daytonaio bullish on @yash_alap

[Guy Hartstein @guyhartstein]

Slop is a kind of digital kitsch. It’s naïve imitation (perhaps inevitably due to token prediction); a sanitized view of the world that demands to be taken seriously. Yes, it’s low signal, but the reason we have found a name for it is because it’s a familiar aesthetic.

Milan Kundera puts this quite well: “Kitsch causes two tears to flow in quick succession. The first tear says: How nice to see children running on the grass! The second tear says: How nice to be moved, together with all mankind, by children running on the grass! It is the second tear that makes kitsch kitsch.”

I’m not sure if you can prompt against this. When you distill the world’s information, you get eccentric, earnest imitation that creates the formulaic, sentimental aesthetics that avoid confronting complexity and meaninglessness.

[Guy Hartstein @guyhartstein]

@willccbb I like that model companies nowadays aren’t just producing all-purpose SOTA models (like generic cars, built for everyone) but instead are rapidly iterating on small, capital efficient models that excel at a small subset of tasks. Why build a car when you can build a jetpack?

@SnowballHustle @DPazdan @Polymarket @NTmoney There would have been significant dilution from A onwards. That $50k would be much closer to 1m than 4m unless he followed on with each round to maintain ownership.
