@aura_frames can we please, please, please have access to manually change the brightness level on our frames?

Every founder pitching micropayments-for-media in the 2010s was directionally right, just wrong about the buyer. In this Stripe demo, an agent paid 4 cents in stablecoin for commodity data, wrote a report, and listed it for sale to other agents. That's the real use case.

[John Collison @collision]

At Stripe Sessions, we showed how we think agentic commerce will often happen behind the scenes in the course of producing other final products. Here, we show our Claude Code using MPP and @tempo to buy a dataset from @alpha_vantage in the process of generating a research report for me on AI energy usage.

Today is a major step forward for @DeepgramAI in building truly global voice AI. 🚀

I’m proud to introduce Flux Multilingual -- a single perception model that allows developers to build voice agents that can understand and respond across languages, even switching mid-conversation.

Until now, global voice deployments required stitching together multiple systems -- adding latency, inconsistency, and operational overhead. Customer experiences would break the moment language changed.

Flux Multilingual removes that constraint. With one model, enterprises can deliver fast, natural, real-time conversations across markets -- without compromising on performance or consistency! 🔥

Mirage has raised $75 million in growth financing from @GeneralCatalyst, bringing our total funding to more than $175 million.

This financing reflects real momentum. More than 20 million creators, small businesses, and enterprises use our products worldwide. Together, they've created more than 250 million videos.

But this investment is also about something I've been thinking about a lot: how AI has changed what it means to win in software.

The @UMich Law Library is insane. Above ground it's a 1931 Gothic reading room modeled after King's College Chapel at Cambridge. Below ground it's a 3 story modernist library with mirrored light trenches that pull sunlight underground. By the 70s they had 4x the books the building could hold. But the Law Quad was the architectural crown of campus. Every detail had been personally overseen by the donor. Altering it was a non-starter. So architect Gunnar Birkerts just... dug. Architectural Record called it 'the most esthetically satisfying underground building to have penetrated American soil.'

Mini-apps to keep on playing.

Hey @wabi, build a news app of evolving facts, not articles. Stories update continuously and show only what changed, why it matters, and the source. No opinions, no fluff, just signal.
