“The digital world lacks physical information. The physical world lacks dense digital information. Games perfectly merge these two together, and we believe that’s just the next phase of pretraining.”
Every few weeks @gen_intuition ships new emergent capabilities that are orthogonal to anything you see in the LLM world.

We don't manually test features anymore.
You can now run continuous QA features in Claude using “Feature Review” by Ranger.
Feature Review is an always-on AI QA that runs in the background, fixing features while providing you and your team with full visibility.
Never ask Claude to fix errors again.
We just built a browser agent that outperforms OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, and Manus on real-world tasks that knowledge workers actually do
And it ranks #1 on every single major web benchmark
This piece nails something subtle but critical: the future of robotics isn’t unlocked by shiny demos or breakthroughs, but by relentless iteration in messy reality.
An absolute must-read for anyone thinking seriously about where robotics actually compounds. Well done @packyM and @evanbeard at @standardbots 🤖🦾
🎨@Tempo_Labs just launched v2 of their visual editor for React, powered by AI.
Tempo feels like a design tool but works like an IDE. It enables designers & devs to collaborate on code and helps teams ship production-grade software 10X faster.

The future of the modern AI stack is being decided now. There are a few things we know for sure:
1. Enterprises spend more on inference than training.
2. We live in a multi-model world.
3. RAG is the dominant architectural approach.
4. All developers are now AI developers.
But, if 2023 was the year of AI experimentation, 2024 will be ll invests and the trends shaping the future of the AI stack read @MenloVentures’ Modern AI Stack Report https://t.co/CTKll4THVF
