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

You can buy the humanoid Unitree G1 for $16,000. 4'4" tall, 35kg, 2hr battery life. This is not Boston Dynamics. This is a real thing you can buy.

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:

Llama 4 seems to actually be a poor model for coding. Scout (109B) and Maverick (402B) underperform 4o, Gemini Flash, Grok 3, DeepSeek V3 and Sonnet 3.5/7 on the Kscores benchmark which tests on coding tasks like this. ELO-maxxing on LMarena doesn’t create the best models.

Bytedance just dropped realtime voice translation 3x faster than before, with only a ~3s lag! Seed LiveInterp 2 is a full duplex speech-to-speech model with >70% correctness. When this makes it to video calls, it'll open up previously impossible connections.

I asked the new GPT 5.6 Sol Ultra vs Fable XHigh to "create an app to compare the fastest growing stocks in diff time periods" Here are the results. I then asked both to create a comparison video. Sol couldn't do it, so here's what Fable made. Check out how they compare!

Claude 5 Fable (Ultracode) "Make a playable alpine glacial valley at sunrise" No meshes or models. Everything you see is math. Fable screenshotted its own work and iterated. Took ~30 mins, ~500k tokens, ~2500 lines of code, and ~$25. Extremely impressive.

Bytedance is dropping the best video gen model in the world in early July: Seedance 2.5! The video below (audio on) is the launch video from their Volcano Engine conference this week. It cements China’s absolute dominance in video. — 2x’d generation length of all previous models to 30s, with audio + 4k video — >5x’d reference images / audio / video to 50 — Allows localized editing (specific characters, closing, detail), will come with copyright filter Seedance 2 is already the #1 video model and does a whopping $2B in ARR, in a mere 4.5mos! At the current pricing of $2.5/15s, that implies >3.3M hours of video (!) have been generated. That’s 3x every feature film ever made and dozens of Netflixes. Only 3 US AI startups make more revenue. We are 2x’ing realistic video gen length every 6mos. — May 2025: Veo 3 does audio + video for the first time, 15s — Jan 2026: Kling 3 does 15s — Feb 2026: Seedance 2 does 15s, big quality bump — July 2026: 2.5 will do 30s In 18mos, entire music videos will be oneshotted by AI. China continues to extend its lead on video models vs America.
