We raised $4.8M to build Lamina Labs (YC P26) and make AI explain with video, not just text. Introducing Simi, the fastest way to make an explainer video. Give it a single prompt or document, and it can generate a one-minute narrated explainer in as little as 20 seconds, in 80+ languages. It works like ChatGPT, except the answer is a video. The round was led by Foundation Capital , with participation from Link Ventures and Y Combinator . This is our story. Thread below on what we are building at.

Moonshot released Kimi K3 as an open-weight model. Most people saw “2.8 trillion parameters.” Far fewer understand what was actually built. We broke K3 into six visual explainers, simple enough for anyone to follow and detailed enough for engineers. Every video was generated in one shot by Simi, the fastest infra to generate explainer video in the entire world. Brought to you by Lamina Labs. Part 1/6: What Kimi K3 actually is.

A production issue shouldn't require a detective Yet that's how most observability works today Most observability tools just dump alerts. Duplicates, no context, and you still fix it yourself Nicolò Magnante (YC P26) and his cofounder Arseniy Shishaev (YC P26) - who spent years building part of Datadog's metrics product - think that's backwards So they built Superlog (YC P26): Observability that's meant never to be opened A wizard scans your repo, installs proper OpenTelemetry, and runs daily to keep up as you ship When something breaks, it groups the errors into one incident, investigates with full context - logs, traces, recent deploys, past Slack threads - and drops a single mergeable PR in Slack. Merge it Ignore it Or open it in Claude Code and tweak it Vendor-neutral, so you keep every log, trace, and metric - even if you leave Not another notification. A fix. Nicolò Magnante (YC P26) CEO & Co-Founder Superlog (YC P26) on Fondo.com START Huge thanks to Eragon for making this episode possible!
