Billionaire Michael Milken joked “if a US company replaces the US-born CEO with a CEO born in India, I buy the stock” But he reveals he hasn’t backtested the idea. So we did. In the last 15yrs, that would’ve 50x’d your money: 7.5x more $$ and >2x IRR vs S&P500: 30% vs 14%!

Wow, Gemini 3.1 Pro just crushed one of my test problems no other model could solve. "Write a photorealistic 3D ocean simulation" 3D graphics is extremely hard. It has to encode 9-10 techniques based in physics. Being off by just 1 number can lead to bonkers results

Vibecoded a silly little tool that transfers files from your computer to your phone air-gapped using your camera at ~50 Kbps. Nice to have when you're offline or on a plane, or need to send something super duper securely.

Today, two of us who have built billion dollar companies are launching the ULTIMATE guide for founders on how to start a lean, AI-native startup in 2025. This covers every single tool Founders should use when building their startup from the ground up, from legal, finance, payroll, sales, tech and more. My coauthor Henry has built Super and I have built Glean into both $100M+ businesses and we've invested in 100+ startups between us in the last few years, and this is a constant question we get. And it's completely FREE. The article drops midnight tonight. Bookmark this post. Link below:

Sonnet 3.7 generated this entire "AI agent startup" website from scratch. It's superpower is its 64k *output* token length, which makes the resulting Artifacts way richer. This is better than most actual startup websites.

There's a new foundational AI model that specifically uses computers fast. It's called Ace. Most similar things retrofit heavy vision and reasoning models which are slower than a human. Watch it book an Airbnb in 15s!

LLMs are either not capable or not affordable for visual reasoning tasks at scale. The Elorian team - one of Jeff Dean’s best reports who led Gemini, an Apple LLM lead, xAI lead, and a Harvard professor - just launched an Astra-level visual reasoning model, Glimpse, for 17x cheaper. Watch it break down the flying Tesla video physics here. Extremely critical for video inputs in manufacturing, robotics, gaming, content moderation and more.

Opus 5.5 is incredible at instructional video generation. I made this launch video for a inference startup in 1min for ~$2. Videos like these used to take weeks if not months and a lot of coordination with agencies and 1000x the costs. Humans broadly prefer video to text. This changes the substrate of communication. These videos actually help communicate technical ideas in seconds (photorealistic video gen like Seedance is not very useful here). - changes how often marketing should be talking about products and launches - change how sales people can talk about technical products to their customers - allow technical people to easily explain concepts internally without long docs And thats just scratching the surface within startups. Prompt: “make a modern slick and punchy video for a modern startup that works on inference”

I've spend 10+ hrs perfecting how to get the best out of Opus 5.5 for video generation workflow: - Use it with Claude Code, not the app. - Use OpenRouter API to access all the other models (image gen, video gen, audio gen) with one key - Use Gemini 3.8 TTS and make it create a skill from the API to put emotion into the voice. - Use Manim, Hyperframes, Motion Canvas for motion graphics for HTML web grounded video - Use GPT 2.5 Image Sunburst for keyframes and Veo 3.1 / Seedance 2.5 for generation. Seedance does better with motion shots. Ensure you have reference images for consistency and generate an animatic before full video. - Add a script writing planning skill. Use OpenTimelineIO to assemble. - Explicitly tell it to avoid Claudisms like short punchy sentences and a lot of numbers. “Narrate like a university professor.” - Allow it to use yt-dlp with search to inject clips from real videos (creative commons) in composition - Use ElevenLabs for music gen in the background - Add a caption skill which uses any decent ASR model to get word-level timed subtitles on the final video - Add a critic skill which takes screenshots and uses transcription to validation the audio and video quality In the prompt, specify a) what you want b) aspect ratio c) length d) style preferences. ffmpeg handles most of the actual video manipulation tasks. Here's an example of a 4 minute Neocloud business explainer:

Claude Code is one of the worst named products. It's not just for code. Watch this Hermès ad. 30 seconds. 8 shots. Voice. Music. Even text branding burned in with ffmpeg. Clopus 4.5 wrote a script, orchestrated ElevenLabs, Google Veo 3, downloaded music and made this from scratch.
