Hot take: I think semiconductors can go higher.

Appreciate the shoutout 🫡

Baby Keem says he became an even bigger Ye fan at 11 years old after being introduced to hip hop by a Minecraft gamer when he used to play under the name “Hykeezy.”

“I was just listening to whatever I could listen to. Anshul put me on to the Bay Area scene, he put me on to become a bigger Kanye fan than what I was and he just showed me hip hop in that way.”

@siliconmania Let me grab a copy!

I’m Bay Area born and raised and this would pretty much take the soul and heart out of the Bay Area.

@wongmjane Replacing East Bay with NYC would solve everything

Yeahhh but Claude still has Mythos.

[Andon Labs @andonlabs]

In Vending-Bench Arena (the multiplayer version of Vending-Bench with competition dynamics), GPT-5.5 actually beats Opus 4.7.

Opus 4.7 showed similar behavior to Opus 4.6: lying to suppliers and stiffing customers on refunds. GPT-5.5's tactics were clean, and it still won.

Soooo what’s the verdict? Better than Nano Banana 2?

[Riley Brown @rileybrown]

Dude GPT-Image-2... wtf... how.

Yikes, this won’t save a housing bubble unfortunately.

[@jason @Jason]

move your company to Austin and all your team members will love you... because they'll save 50% on housing and ~12% on taxes.

Quality of life goes up 35% -- minimum.

Like giving your team a 30-40% raise out of the gate.

note: you will need to let the work remote in July since it's H.A.B. here!

A lot of things can change when you move your mindset from:

Work hard, play hard -> Work hard, grow harder

[uGitMe @uGitMeNews]

The repos blowing up on GitHub, explained before your morning standup.

3 repos. Every day. Plug repos, not status updates.

Trump is playing 2D chess with 4D chess results.

I don’t get it.

[anshul desai @httpshuly]

Just saw a dude vibe coding at the gym, that’s a fist but honesty not surprised 😭

California needs a governor who can accelerate our GDP, create more tech jobs, all while eliminating red tape when building housing.

Curious trends for the future:

- 1-bit inference
- LLM compression

Give everyone an agent in their pocket.

[anshul desai @httpshuly]

Amazing, I wish this existed when I used to mess around with After Effects!

[Farza 🇵🇰🇺🇸 @FarzaTV]

I built this thing called Clicky.

It's an AI teacher that lives as a buddy next to your cursor.

It can see your screen, talk to you, and even point at stuff, kinda like having a real teacher next to you.

I've been using it the past few days to learn Davinci Resolve, 10/10.

Nuclear is about to have a big moment.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.

The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.

This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.

A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

Ehhhhhh

TBPN has been acquired by OpenAI!

The show is staying the same and we’ll continue to go live at 11am pacific every weekday.

This is a full circle moment for me as I’ve worked with @sama for well over a decade. He funded my first company in 2013. Then helped us fix a serious logjam during a critical funding round a few years later. When I took my second company through YC, he was president at the time, and then when I joined Founders Fund, the first deal I saw in motion was the post-ChatGPT round in late 2022. And as we started growing TBPN last year, he was the very first lab lead to join the show.

Thank you to everyone that has been a part of TBPN until now. The last year has been the most fun and rewarding part of my career and we’re excited to have more resources than ever going forward.

Not sure what the point of that Trump announcement was.

[anshul desai @httpshuly]

Sooo, SpaceX IPO is going to be a massive liquidation event, right? RIGHT??

1-bit inference for the masses!!

[PrismML @PrismML]

1-bit Bonsai 8B running locally on an M4 Pro (MLX) alongside a standard 16-bit 8B model.

Same class of model, very different deployment profile: far lower memory use and substantially higher throughput.
