So much alpha in this post, maps perfectly to venture too

[Brett Berson @brettberson]

Over the years, I’ve become obsessed with references, so I decided to sit down and write out some of what I’ve figured out. https://t.co/zA892FycDC

@j_upward human goals in my experience are very collaborative (train for a marathon, build a company, etc), wouldnt be anywhere without the people around me. have been thinking a lot on collaboration between principals with ai

exciting path!

@WhatTheLJW 100% and as intelligence keeps increasing the bottleneck of efficiency becomes the human in the loop, for judgement calls, approvals and decisions

[LJW @WhatTheLJW]

Usage of cheaper AI models is growing faster than frontier models because most use cases require just "good enough." There is really two markets in AI token economics. https://t.co/PS8BPpmMrw

I’m actually pretty upset Apple allowed this. While the feature is cool, the technical functionality that enables it is not cool.

If I was Tim Apple, OAI would be temporarily banned from the App Store until this is reversed, and here’s why:

I use iMessage because it’s quantum encrypted, with server keys I can own. Local caches are on devices that are encrypted with my passwords, not apples keys.

This makes it and computationally and legally impossible for anyone else to access chat history but the people I trust and directly communicated with.

But *now* the copies of my messages from years ago on *anyones* laptop in what is *supposed* to be an encrypted-at-rest local cache only can now be fetched directly by chatgpt without my permission or even knowledge and stored and processed in plain text forever on openai / Microsoft servers unencrypted and requested by any government entity at a moments notice without my knowledge and openai/Microsoft legally have to provide that, in federally enforced total secrecy. And they’re never legally allowed to admit they do it.

AND because of default chatgpt settings most people haven’t bothered to turn off, all those private texts can now be used for training and will end up in the weights of future models, so all future AI models will permanently know all of our private lives as a part of the weights, immortalized forever as training checkpoints.

Total architecture abandonment and user trust betrayal on Apples part. This should be the most viral story of 2026 by 100x. The permanent end of private communication in the US.

I've never recorded a video announcement before. But after 15 years of working in AI and 1.5 years heads down building @CambrianNetwork, I wanted to share this news myself.

I'm proud to announce the public launch of the Cambrian API, which you can try free on https://t.co/cNcQRMa8Xw

In 2024, while building an AI copilot for trading, I became convinced that the future of finance would be increasingly operated by agents. I also realized that existing data solutions were far from meeting the needs of a burgeoning industry called agentic finance.

So I assembled a team of data, infrastructure, and finance veterans, earned support from @a16zcrypto @Polychain @FTDA_US and many other amazing investors, and embarked on a mission to build the world's financial intelligence layer.

Today, the Cambrian API is out of beta. It's the best source of onchain and offchain signal for AI agents and institutions to make winning financial decisions, such as:

- Smarter trading strategies
- Automated yield-maximization
- Social sentiment-based trades
- Risk analyses & much more

Start using it for free and scale as your needs grow.

@0xsamgreen @CambrianNetwork A new Era, congrats Sam and team!!

@codeisnotlaw @polychain My 🐐

Update: after an epic 3 years with @polychain, I’ve left to build.

I’m grateful to the Polychain family, the founders who let me be part of their journeys, and the friends I made along the way. If there’s one thing I leave with, it’s that a single idea, carried by the right people with enough energy and conviction, can change an industry.

Over time, the pull to build became impossible to ignore.

I’m now exploring one question: how much further can AI push human capability?

AI is bending reality faster than we can update our imagination, and I’m buzzing to be playing this game.

More soon

@smsunarto @polychain Thanks king 👑

@levantolabs Congrats @marco_derossi! Keen to try it out

[Cambrian Network 🪴 @CambrianNetwork]

Big news: we’ve raised $11.9 million to build the world’s financial intelligence layer.

@Polychain and Franklin Templeton @FTDA_US share our conviction that the future of finance will be increasingly orchestrated by AI agents. The missing ingredient that separates winning agents from slopbots? Financial intelligence.

Agents are beginning to consume human lifetimes' worth of data in minutes. As AI, digital assets, and traditional finance converge, the agentic appetite for data will grow larger – as will the challenge in separating noise from signal.

Cambrian specializes strictly in financial data, delivering actionable intelligence designed for this new agentic world. The best financial decisions are predicated on the best intelligence.
