Introducing cmux: the open-source terminal built for coding agents. - Vertical tabs - Blue rings around panes that need attention - Built-in browser - Based on Ghostty When Claude Code needs you, the pane glows blue and the sidebar tells you why. No Electron/Tauri. Just Swift/Appkit.

Today, we are announcing Proximal. Proximal is a research lab for data. Our core belief is that data which is complex enough to teach today’s frontier models is not bottlenecked by domain experts, but by great ideas and excellent software. We are excited about a world in which coding agents can autonomously run for multiple weeks, solve the hardest technical problems and discover novel ideas that advance progress in various domains of science and engineering. We believe that we are not far from this future, but that the biggest bottleneck preventing us from achieving it is training data. Many companies work on data, but most of them are approaching it the wrong way. Historical capability breakthroughs are the result of creative engineers discovering scalable data collection methods, not thousands of contractors manually writing task demonstrations. Inevitably, the potential impact of human data will become smaller and smaller as model capabilities increase: agents are already outperforming most humans in many domains - the number of experts that are capable of judging model outputs shrinks with every new model release. Proximal is a new data company. We are not a recruiting firm or a talent marketplace, but a research and engineering organization that treats data as a problem which deserves the same level of rigor as work on training algorithms and model architectures. We think that this is the most impactful work towards agents that can autonomously solve complex technical problems, and intend to share our research and progress in the open.

Here’s my conversation with @ZachBDell and @JLopas, co-founders of Base Power Company. Zach comes from Blackstone, Thrive Capital, and a lifetime of mentorship from his father, @MichaelDell. Justin comes from leading efforts at SpaceX, Anduril, and world-class execution alongside @elonmusk. I learned so much. And for everyone watching, this will give you a tiny glimpse into their exponential growth and recent $4B valuation. It's clear Base Power will be a household name. Enjoy!! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 1:43 The Base Talent Filter 4:00 Lessons from Michael Dell 6:15 Zach’s First Startup 8:45 The Slow Midwest Automotive Industry 15:45 The Base Recruiting Strategy 20:40 Origins of Base: How Zach and Justin Met 23:55 Cut Your Costs, Not Your Power 26:02 The First Battery Install 33:55 Energy Trading and Arbitrage 36:02 The Path to a $100B 40:50 Base Pace 45:15 Don’t Tell Your Grandkids All You Did Was B2B SaaS

Vib (@Vbob202) cofounded a $4B autonomous boat company, and I finally got him out of the office long enough to talk about it. As CTO at @Saronic he’s had to: • scale 4 → 1,000 people in 3 years • align hardware, software, & systems teams • get new hires up to Saronic speed (spoiler: onboarding is basically “good luck, here’s the ocean”) Excited for you to hear it!

Here's Neil Mehta pitching Greenoaks to an LP in June of this year. Incredible amounts of alpha to be found in state investment fund public filings. Aside from his conversation with @patrick_oshag, I don't think Neil has ever spoken publicly like this before.
