[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2.

Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication.

We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating.

Founded in 2023.
A $10B valuation just two years later.

@mercor_ai understood something early:
As AI gets smarter, the value of high-quality human expertise doesn't disappear—it becomes more valuable.

Build where technology creates new demand, not where it replaces old deman

Today's headline: @baseten reached a $13B valuation after growing revenue 20× in a year.

Founders should see proof that compounding is real.
- One customer.
- One product improvement.
- One release.

Repeated long enough, they become an "overnight success."
Keep building.

9/ The story isn't that OpenAI built a chip.

The story is that intelligence is becoming cheaper, faster, and more accessible.
When that happens, entire industries get rebuilt.
The founders who understand that shift early will have the biggest advantage.

[Leaders And Builders @leadersbuilders]

1/ The AI race is becoming a stack race.

@OpenAI built its own chip, called Jalapeño, in collaboration with Broadcom, reportedly reducing inference costs by up to 50%.

Most people will see this as a hardware story.

They're missing the bigger picture.

8/ Every major platform shift creates two kinds of winners:
1. The companies building the infrastructure.
2. And the founders building on top of it.

Most people focus on the first group.
The bigger opportunities are often in the second.

[Leaders And Builders @leadersbuilders]

The best founders will be the ones who know how to build strong networks—not just with people, but with AI agents too.

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude.

In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.

[Leaders And Builders @leadersbuilders]

@claudeai The future of entrepreneurship is all about building the right network—people who can help you grow, and AI teammates that help you move faster.

The goal isn't to feel ready
The goal is to become the person who's ready, on the job, in public
Slightly embarrassed the whole time.

[Leaders And Builders @leadersbuilders]

Startup → solves a problem.
Unicorn → dominates a market.
Superunicorn → becomes a platform others depend on.

Google.
Amazon.
Microsoft.
NVIDIA.
The biggest opportunity isn't building a product.
It's becoming part of the stack.

12/
The winners won't be the founders who work the hardest.

They'll be the founders who compound the fastest.

Audience.
Trust.
Distribution.
Knowledge.
Relationships.

Most founders are trying to build a billion-dollar company.
FounderMaxxing means building a billion-dollar founder first.

11/
The startup eventually becomes a reflection of its founder.

Messy founder.
Messy company.

Focused founder.
