I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there.
It was a difficult decision to move on. I’m incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google and everything we’ve built together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with all of you.
Today I had a great conversation about startups with William Guo, The Apache Software Foundation Member and CEO of WhaleOps Technology.
One takeaway stayed with me:
Building a startup comes down to three key things.
1. A solid idea
Start with a problem that is truly worth solving.
Not just a concept that sounds cool.
A real pain point with real urgency.
2. Angel users
Angel users are more important than angel investors.
The best angel users are your initial paying users. They share your insight, understand why the problem matters, and are willing to grow together with you.
They do not just validate your product.
They help shape it.
3. An agent stack
In the AI era, every founder should ask:
Do I have my own agent stack?
For example:
• Marketing Agent
• Coding Agent
• Sales Agent
• Customer Support Agent
For an early-stage team, these agents can become a major force multiplier.
There are also two golden checkpoints I really like:
Create an AHA moment within 5 minutes
During a demo, users should quickly feel:
“This is the most valuable part of the product for me.”
Identify the root cause within 1 minute
When something goes wrong, can you identify the root cause within 1 minute?
Even better, can you help the user solve it within 1 minute?
The more I think about it, the more I believe building a startup in the AI era is not just about finding an idea.
It is about finding a real problem, finding angel users who truly understand it, creating AHA moments quickly, and using agents to turn yourself into a much more powerful small team. 👏
Another X account I highly recommend is my friend Yage, co-founder of the https://t.co/gsPRaL3Gt7.
Also, feel free to subscribe to @鸭哥 ’s newsletter.
He is the kind of person who can elegantly connect coffee roasting, coding, hardware, and computer vision research.
Much respect to both of them for their leadership in the AI community. #课代表 #鸭哥

📸latest in our cambrian series: cambrian-p, p for pose.
i think pose is probably the minimal sufficient 3d signal (and it’s easy to get!) that we need for robust video multimodal models -- jointly modeling frames and pose turns image sequences into a globally grounded structure.
