AGENT WARS We asked 5 top AI models to design, engineer and 3D print a bridge to with the goal of holding the most possible weight. 🇺🇸 Anthropic: Claude Opus 5.5 (High) 🇨🇳 Kimi: Kimi K3 (High) 🇺🇸 Meta: Muse Spark 1.3 (High) 🇺🇸 OpenAI: GPT 6 Astra (High) 🇺🇸 SpaceXAI: Grok 4.7 (High) Each bridge had specific parameters. It had to span 2 feet, use a maximum 500 grams of filament, and it had to be under 18 hours of printing time. We specified what type of weight and where we would place it on the bridge. The Score: • Claude Opus 5.5 held an estimated 130 lbs! It took 9 hours and 11 minutes to print 17 parts and used 441 grams of filament. • Meta Muse Spark 1.3 held 26.5 lbs. It took 13 hours and 12 minutes to print 49 parts and used 478 grams of filament. • OpenAI GPT-6 Astra held an estimated 17.5 lbs. It took 15 hours and 44 minutes to print 29 parts and used 442 grams of filament. • SpaceXAI Grok 4.7 did not finish. On assembly it could not stand up by itself. It took 12 hours and 22 minutes to print 29 parts and used 460 grams of filament. • Kimi K3 did not finish. It wasn’t engineered correctly so the bridge could not even be assembled. It took 11 hours and 19 minutes to print 35 parts and used 446 grams of filament. That means our champion for this episode is Claude Opus 5.5. Not only did it hold the most weight (by FAR) it also took the least time to print, used the least amount of parts and used the least amount of filament. This was episode 02 of Agent Wars, stay tuned for episode 03.

The future of AAA open-world games. This is a Skyrim VR mod by YouTuber 'Art from the Machine' which lets you talk to NPCs using ChatGPT. NPCs have their own tailored prompts based on their unique backgrounds which allows ChatGPT to roleplay as that character. There's also a memory system set up to allow NPCs to remember past conversations with the player.

The craziest thing about Bad Bunny might just be his contract. It’s one of the best in modern music history… on par with giants like Prince, The Beatles, Jay-Z, Taylor etc but unheard of for an artist so early in their career. In 2021, the label he co-owns with Noah Assad — Rimas — cut a 90/10 distribution deal with Sony's The Orchard. That means for every dollar he makes from music, streaming and concerts – they keep 90 cents. Most major label artists are lucky to see 15%. Which essentially makes Bad Bunny the most successful independent artist in the world. We’re talking about a guy, with the highest-grossing tour ever in a single calendar year. Who’s been the most streamed artist on planet earth 4 of the last 6 years. All on a 90/10 split. Bad Bunny never sold his future optionality for present opportunities. And today he’s an owner, getting paid like an owner. I think there are lessons here that any artist or creator can apply to their own careers: - Double down on identity and what makes you unique. It’s your moat. - Ownership > short-term cash (and distribution ≠ ownership) - Play the long term game and treat your brand like a business from day one

SpaceXAI just released Grok Bot, your team of always-on, digital colleagues. I’ve been using them for a few weeks now, and I think this could be the product that brings agents to the mainstream. Bots have their own computer, and can log in and use your tools and apps just like you do. They take projects from start to end, come by with finished work, and keep running 24/7. • Can use any tool, no API or MCP connection required • You can message it from your computer or phone, just as you would an actual colleague • You can create group chats among Bots. They can also message each other, assign tasks, and share context • You can teach a Bot a workflow by recording it once. It saves the workflow as a reusable routine • Bots learn your voice and improve over time Grok Bot is available now (in beta) on desktop and iOS. SpaceXAI

![I toured the only factory in America building humanoid robots from scratch. Last month, I got an exclusive first look at the facility making NEO— the humanoid robot launching into consumer homes later this year. It is the most vertically integrated humanoid robot factory in America. Every critical component is done in-house. CEO Bernt Børnich walked us through the full story: from building soapbox cars with his dad at age 11 to leading the only end-to-end humanoid robot factory in the United States. VP of Operations Vikram Kothari then took us inside the entire build process, where every motor, limb, circuit, and sensor comes together under one roof on a rapid four-week cycle from CAD to finished robot.

In 2013, this scene was pure science fiction. In 2025, it was a documentary of last week.

The National Design Studio is doing remarkable work for America. It is extremely rare for people as accomplished and talented as Joe Gebbia to leave the private sector to work for the public. I hope it inspires more people who’ve built extraordinary companies to help build a country where others get that same chance.

You've probably noticed the website being shipped by the Trump administration are gorgeous. The reason for that is the National Design Studio, led by the Chief Design Officer of the United States. ...who is none other than AirBnB co-founder and modern design icon Joe Gebbia. Joe is one of the top 500 wealthiest people in the world. He doesn't need to be dedicating his time modernizing the 27,000 .gov sites. But in his words, aesthetics matter. "The digital touchpoints between the US government and the American people are important." I’m glad to see design once again being prioritized by the US government.

It feels like less than 0.1% of people realize that humanoid housekeepers will be entering American homes in 2026. This is Neo, and starting today, he is available for pre-order. Science fiction has once again become a real product. Congratulations to 1X on the announcement, and shout out to dar and his team on the visuals, textures and world coming together around the 1X brand.

Today I’m proud to share that I‘ve joined Sound Ventures as an advisor. Few people recognize exceptional talent and transformative ideas as early as Guy Oseary and I’m looking forward to seeing that up close. Sound was the first firm to take significant early positions in both OpenAI and Anthropic, with Guy personally sourcing the Anthropic deal. There’s no other venture firm with the depth of marketing and brand knowledge that Sound has, and I’m excited to work alongside their Founders to help tell their stories.
