Truth matters and ultimately prevails.

Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t want your children to buy.

That’s what he said. Indeed.

Cool idea

🔍 Introducing BackSearch.

LLMs are increasingly asked to predict the future, but a good backtest requires a snapshot of the internet at a point in time.

BackSearch allows LLMs to search the web as it was on a particular date. It’s great for:

🔮 Forecasting and prediction markets.
📈 Quantitative finance.
🌍 RL environments that simulate the world.
🥶 Freezing websearch for benchmark reproducibility

We’re releasing a narrow slice of our index to begin with, focused on the news domain for 2026. Based on feedback we’ll open up more of our index in subsequent releases.

👇 Try BackSearch out with the link below.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Announcing OpenWorker! An open-source agent that doesn't just chat with you, but delivers finished work -- like hand you a polished document, send a slack message, or update a calendar entry.

Ask it to prepare a customer brief, untangle your calendar, draft a report, or triage a Slack alert. It works across your files and everyday tools, produces the deliverable, and checks in before doing anything consequential.

OpenWorker runs on your Mac, with Windows support coming soon. It does not lock you into any one model. Bring your own API key and run it with GPT 5.6 Sol, Claude Fable, Gemini 3.6, an open weight model (like Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Inkling), or Ollama to keep your data local. Your data does not leave your machine except through an LLM provider and integrations that you choose.

@rohitcprasad and I are building OpenWorker because AI coworkers are an important way to get work done, and we want there to be an open, privacy-preserving, model-independent option. Check it out and let us know what you think!

David @friedberg explains the rise of socialism and the hypocrisy of @RoKhanna:

"It's a lot easier to claim an enemy and get elected, than it is to fix a difficult policy problem."

"Ro Khanna is the perfect example of this."

"This is some dude who has a $300M net worth. His children have memberships at 3 country clubs."

"The dude lives in a $10M house in Washington, DC."

"And he used to be the moderate Silicon Valley guy who would go around to all the tech CEOs and founders and VCs and be like, 'Give me your money. I'm a moderate. We're going to make the Democratic Party work for you.'"

"Then he saw the tides change, and he's like, 'Oh, this is yum, yum. I'm going to run for president in 2028.'"

"Just to be clear on this, he is so unlikable, I think he'll likely end up being Secretary of Housing and Urban Development if AOC is elected president."

"I do not disagree with him or Gavin or anyone else that tax policy in America is fucked up."

"When billionaires borrow against their unrealized capital gains, they should pay capital gains tax. Capital gains tax should be 40%, not 15% or 18% or 20%. In fact, labor should pay less. Income tax should be much lower. Capital gains should be much higher. That would be a fair tax policy."

"I don't know a lot of people who are wealthy who will look me in the eye and truly disagree with that."

"It's a lot of bullshit when we all say, 'It incentivizes investment.' Great, it incentivizes investment. What are you going to do with your excess capital if the tax rate is 40% versus 20%? You're not gonna invest it now? Of course you're going to fucking invest it."

"But instead of those practical solutions like I just laid out, they're all like, 'Let's go fire up the fucking socialist train because it's worked so well in fucking Cuba and Venezuela and the Soviet Union and all these other places.'"

"What both parties are missing is a policy agenda that says: Here's the shit we have to do to keep America from going down the socialist death spiral. And they all should be fucking doing it, both sides."

Today we're launching Claude for Teachers -- premium @claudeai and Cowork, free for every US teacher.

Teachers have been experimenting with AI for a while. But they told us they wanted something curriculum-aligned, evidence-based, and able to work in the background while they focus on their students.

Four things that I think make this special:

[Tesla AI @Tesla_AI]

Our Bay Area rideshare service now goes to SFO ✈️

[Lin Chen @zenLinChen]

The reach of this post must be a paid feature? @grok is it correct?

[Amazon Web Services @awscloud]

Typo alert: Some customers saw quadrillion-dollar AWS billing estimates today. Slight miscalculation on our end (very slight 😅).

We're fixing it now. No action needed on your end. Sorry for the confusion.

Real question: what will you do with those trillions instead?

[Lin Chen @zenLinChen]

@grok
Does it impact in-n-out ��� lettuce?

[Thinking Machines @thinkymachines]

Today, we are introducing Inkling.

Inkling reasons efficiently across text, image, and audio modalities. We are making the full weights available.

https://t.co/Ghebq5mG30

Available today for fine-tuning on Tinker. Play with it in the Inkling Playground. 🧵

[Lin Chen @zenLinChen]

Fun future to look forward to.

[Jameson Detweiler @jamesoniam]

The next great American car is a robot.

Talks. Parks itself. More customized than your coffee.

All of Congressman’s @RoKhanna’s financial disclosures are finally OCR’d and searchable online

He hand-filed papers instead of using the electronic system to obfuscate the data, but I indexed them all here:

🚨 Here is the full 53 minutes of my crew and I exposing New York fraud, we uncovered over $190,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters use the elderly and needy to commit fraud through adult and personal home care scams in NYC. Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give $ kickbacks to those who enroll. Like it and share this video, the fraud must STOP.

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for fraudsters to steal from our pockets. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. Time is up.

EXPOSE IT ALL AND END THE FRAUD.

[Cloudflare @Cloudflare]

We're opening the waitlist for our Monetization Gateway, which will allow you to charge for any web page, dataset, API, or MCP tool behind Cloudflare. The charges will settle in stablecoins over the x402 open protocol. https://t.co/pvICtEIixj

[Lin Chen @zenLinChen]

The trouble is they know so much that isn’t so.

[Lin Chen @zenLinChen]

Have to say this is a brilliant ad.

[Sundar Pichai @sundarpichai]

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