Woodstock of AI 🤗 #HuggingFace

[Han Shawnity 🇺🇸 @HanShawnity]

It's crazy to think that just 80 years after we literally nuked their cities, Japan is one of our closest friends and is commemorating our Independence Day with a fireworks show, while Palestinians are still mad that their great great grandparents had to move a few miles after losing a war they started and now need to murder as many people as possible for the rest of time.

Love this re-imagining of America’s founding using Docs, Gmail, Calendar and more from @GoogleWorkspace. Really puts the history in version history :)

“And as a symbol of our independence, we will say the month first instead of the date. March 12th instead of the 12th of March, October 3rd instead of the 3rd of October, etc.”

“And July 4th instead of 4th of July, sir?”

“No. That one stays.”

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan https://t.co/W3UhBerdH0

[Mykhailo Fedorov @FedorovMykhailo]

Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world.

Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures.

What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform:

@willdepue tbh i want to open up a biomedical imaging division at midjourney to work on stuff like this

Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion

Congrats on the launch! @PrimalNick Very fun to use

Most people spend their lives living in buildings they had little influence over.

We believe AI can help change that.

Over the last month, 120,000 people generated 325,000+ home designs with https://t.co/M3bUUqREhP

Today, we're excited to share that we've raised a $16M Seed led by Buckley Ventures to continue building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design.

Here's a glimpse of what we're building:

Proactive agent that thinks and acts like you.
Multiplayer AI Brain for teams.
Proper GUI for commanding 50 agents.

https://t.co/zsDxICHezv is all three. Sauna goes live today. First 2000 people, use access code LAUNCH for $80 of weekly(!) credits.

Let’s explain. Multiplayer only works once the personal brain is powerful. So let's start here.

Personal AI Brain
3,800+ tools connected. State of the Art memory. Skills and schedules you teach once that get repeated forever on cheaper models. An AI first CRM.

Lives on the cloud so you can initiate tasks from anywhere: iMessage, Slack, Email. Also no need for a Mac mini 😉

GUI
AI agents have been stuck in their MS-DOS era. A chat box, a scroll buffer, no way to command 50 of them. We built the first GUI: Live sessions on one side, work waiting for your sign-off on the other, plus the things Sauna kicked off while you were asleep waiting for review. Game mode helps clear the queue with actual joy.

Okay so far so good, but how to give benefit of what you built to more people or whole team?

Multiplayer
Once your Sauna actually knows you and you gave her access to your tools, you can use multiplayer.

Two modes:
- Brain access. My co-founder Robert plugged my brain as a tool into his Sauna last month. He can ask it about pricing while I'm in other meetings, gets a sourced answer back, never has to interrupt me. That’s read only. Yolo mode gives him access to all my tools too :O
- Communal Saunas extend that to whole companies with proper permissioning. Folder owners decide what's true for the whole company and build skills. Most get their personal brain + read access to communal files and memories. Works also for group planning my best friend's bachelor party.

The Way
I’ve been obsessed about AI Brain since 2016. Our human brains suck at some things like memory and are brilliant at others like creativity. We are also particularly bad at thinking we are all on the same page and then realising weeks later that we weren’t. Most leaders spend their days being the human diff tool, catching contradictions in hallway conversations and Slack threads. Repeating themselves 50 times. Now every company is spinning up hundreds or thousands of agents that drift faster than humans do, feeding each other their drift as context. Compounding rot.

After 10 years and one failed company in this space we are launching the solution.

The Launch
We thought about a celebrity launch. Margot Robbie in a bathtub explaining agents. But then we realised the same money gives the first 2,000 people free daily credits, every day, until we burn through that $1,000,000.

Sauna runs Claude, GPT-5, Gemini, GLM-5.1, DeepSeek, Kimi so you can budget yourself. The labs are racing to lock you so they can milk you in a year. We picked your side.

Onboarding
It’s live at https://t.co/8ekc1ZtzoJ We’ve preheated saunas based on a niche. Use the access codes in the comments to get a better experience.
