Elon builds for outer space, Abhi builds for inner space
For the last ten years I have spent every moment thinking about nothing but air. And how to make better, more personalized air accessible to homes all over the world. And today I can finally present the next huge step in that journey. Introducing Breethr P1, the Personal Climate System. Launching today. And open for pre-orders right now Reserve your P1 for $99: breethr.com Shipping Spring 2027.

While the large labs battle for enterprise revenue, coding agents and other fronts. @500GlobalVC has been backing 'multiple intelligences' required for ASI, including the likes of visual reasoning, with @ElorianAI : Presenting their debut model launch, Glimpse...
Spent years watching models ace a single image and completely whiff on anything that moves or changes angle. Today we’re fixing that. Try Glimpse now, our first visual thinking model with competitive frontier performance compared to Astra on key public visual reasoning benchmarks.

When we first backed @EmbeddedLLM it was clear that they had a technical moat so deep that their eventual products would be a planet sized asteroid that created it. Wait for it…
Massive shoutout to TJ & Team at @EmbeddedLLM; they are the lead maintainers & CODEOWNERS of vLLM ROCm! Up until May 2026, they did not even have persistent access to an MI355X cluster, but after SemiAnalysis worked with & convinced AMD leadership of something that is quite obvious in hindsight, they finally got a persistent cluster to make MI355X great on AMD! Super proud of the @EmbeddedLLM Team, highly respected within the @vllm_project community.

Freedom and control in the age of AI, explored with deep thinking without AI - thanks for having me at such a historical gathering @Brendan_McCord @JohnathanBi @cosmos_inst 💥
At Cosmos, we're building a community of thinkers and builders who care about AI and human autonomy. These questions are centuries old, but more urgent than ever. Working on them takes the right setting, so we went to the Château de Tocqueville. Join us: blog.cosmos-institute.org/

Glad to see the discussion around open v. closed frontier labs. The next area of innovation will be open robotics. Steel Bot@steelbot_ comes out of stealth with America’s first open humanoid to accelerate the robotics industry. Learn more about the challenge ahead with my conversation with founder @randallmbriggs. youtube.com/watch?v=Q3eQQPV3…

This week I got to sit down with @TonyW and discuss what I'm working on with @steelbot_. We are building open humanoids that are designed to be the most developer-friendly platform for robotics ever made. The goal is to empower America's researchers, entrepreneurs, hackers, and hobbyists who want to push the envelope and use general purpose robots in all kinds of applications and industries.

After extensive usage of Poke by @interaction I’ve decided it’s the most frequent and useful AI service in my life after @claudeai . However, the more I use it, my experience started to degrade. The underlying issue is something every LLM powered service out there needs to get better at. It is NOT Memory Bloat. I call it Memory Fog. It’s different. I may have given instructions on when to surface what emails - and sometimes, conditions behind when those instructions should be followed. But how much of my conditions are hidden to Poke (or myself for that matter)? And as I keep piling on new conditions and instructions into Poke’s memory, how should Poke manage MY own memory of what those instructions are? My own lossy memory = unmanageable expectations = disappointment. Even though the LLM memory architecture itself may have actually got better. The answer requires memory tuning. Not just for the LLM, but for the human! And the second is harder. The fix? Default memory tuning from the get go (LLM asking me if I only want emails that are directed to me), proactive memory upgrade suggestions based on usage (eg if it surfaced the emails I ignored), a link to view what’s there, what’s changed, added, changing etc The best AI products don’t just train the product. They train the human what to expect. Follow for more UI x AI As a designer turned 2X exited founder turned VC-builder, I’ve seen UIs from east and west evolve with new waves of tech. With AI, were gonna need need more than a text box. I am passionate about leveraging creative approaches to accelerating AI utility (and adoption). Will be posting more + hosting a series of talks and meetups in SF on this soon! Meantime pile on comments on other tips you may have for poke. I’m not an investor there btw, just a fan. Their design approach as a whole is a huge leap.

Day 1 of 500 Silicon Valley Takeover. @khailee opened with the stat that should reframe every international founder's ambition: SF raises $2–3B per week in early-stage deals alone. Most countries don't see that in a year. @albertlee (MyFitnessPal, $475M exit) closed it: "Moving motivation is very, very difficult. Almost all of our time was spent reducing friction." "If users succeed, we succeed. That's all that matters." 20 more days to go.

Governments pushing AI literacy are creating a nation of users. "Users" need Universal Basic Income. BUILDERS create Universal Basic Innovation. Literacy isn't enough. Teach people to build.

When orgs use both human and agent, will HR leaders only focus on Human Resources? If they also oversee the orgs agent workforce, what's their new title? And if they don't, report to the Head of Agents, or the other way around?

True story: 41 year old VC left his family home to live with 20+ founders half his age, in a house with dorm duties. Here's why I did it: SF is back like never before. And @500GlobalVC will be taking the world's best founder talent from across 15 years backing 80 countries to come make it here. I needed to live it for myself. Stay rooted in what's up and coming. So I can recommend it If you're up and coming yourself, @theresidency should be your top choice to launch your new life 🔥 Stay tuned: I will be posting more about what goes on inside the homes, what I learned from the new crop of founders, and how to make the most of your stay...
if I gave you 3 months to achieve all of your dreams... could you do it? 🏆 the world is yours chapter 6 🪽

Didn't expect Jensen Huang to serve me hot green tea. (No, the video isn’t AI-generated). He spoke about SF, AI, Trump. I asked him about venture capital. But there is more to the story than what he said. Why he said it, who was there, and what happened during the opera: Embedded in the subtext is a masterful move. First, the facts: 1. 🐵 He brought his tech superpower friends to see Monkey King - casual! 2. ❤️ He and Lori donate $5M/year to the SF Opera - lovely! 3. 👯 He underscored the role of the arts in the age of AI - important! 4. 🤖 He said “SF is back!” “An AI City” attracting global talent - evident! 5. 🤔 He was one of two people who rang up Trump urging against sending the National Guard into SF —and Trump listened - baller! 6. 🧧 I asked if NVIDIA is going deeper into VC; he gave three reasons (in the video). And then the subtext: As I took my seat, I saw Tier 1 VC partners, big-tech CEOs (@sundarpichai included), and decacorn founders do the same. The way everyone settled in felt like a quiet rehearsal for a larger play. Think about it. He chose the guests. He chose the opera to back. We weren’t watching “Hangover Part III” :P - We were watcing Monkey King in opera. Then the curtains parted. A timeless story about POWER unraveled: The quest for absolute power. To subjugate others or uplift others. To hoard or share power. And most of all, how to use the power you have. Diane Paulus directed the opera. But Jensen directed the narrative: As AI accelerates in power, tech titans secure NVIDIA chips to forge AI power -> Venture capital funds AI applications for the masses -> Government leaders battle to secure intelligence as utility for citizens. Jensen just sat their butts down for a 2.5 hour lecture in full vibrato and monkey makeup - an instruction manual how to use their power like an enlightened being would. Jensen’s made his message is clear. Those who continue to accumulate power must remember to empower others with it. If only more of the leaders he rang up could have joined the night. ( Thanks @chipro @DalianaLiu @nvidia for the invite, and @YengT9 for the inspo)
