Wealth Taxes Could Kill Privately-Owned Companies Ignoring the intangible value of private governance of firms not only makes wealth taxes confiscatory but erodes the very foundations and benefits of the freedom to create organizations. New article by @CityAngelos (link below)

I agree with @JensenHuang on this point.
"You're not talking to someone who woke up a loser." This was an insane clip, even before Jensen was caught in a CCP honeypot.

We started shipping the Nvidia H100 in 2022. A year ago it rented for $1.96/hour. Today: $3.10. +58%, on a chip that was supposed to be obsolete by now. So much for GPU depreciation.

Jensen Huang and the Nvidia board just made a massive mistake. He should not have resigned. The board should have taken the time to conduct a thorough investigation, consult with shareholders, and carefully evaluate the long-term implications of this decision. There is no clear replacement for Jensen Huang, and we believe his departure will ultimately be a net negative for Nvidia, $NVDA, and its shareholders. This will go down as the most costly mistake of the AI Revolution.

What is Agentic AI without context? Context comes from memory. @meetrobyn has it!
The agent economy will be won on compute efficiency. We built for it from day one. The biggest problem in personal AI isnโ€™t intelligence. Itโ€™s context. Under the hood, todayโ€™s AI agents base their memory primarily off MD files, making them cash furnaces with costs that compound with use. Robyn runs on a proprietary Relational Memory Layer that mimics the human brain and stores what matters. The result: โ€ข 20x+ cheaper compute per input โ€ข Costs fall as memory grows โ€ข Agents that actually know you Action without context is noise. Action with context is a superpower.

we just launched prometheus 4.0 and liberty 4.0 on the @nytokenexchange. each one is a team of open models you call like a single model (liberty is US models only) people are sleeping on grouped open models imo. on their own they usually can't match the best model from claude or openAI. but have six of them answer the same question and check each other's work and the combined answer often beats it. back in july prometheus 2.0 scored 77.4 on a research benchmark compared to 65.3 for claude fable 5, the best single model we tested open models are also the only ones you can run fully encrypted today so you can get a great answer without handing over your data. and they're about 60% cheaper :) really excited about this. test them out and let me know what you think details here: trustedrouter.com/blog/comboโ€ฆ

Great to see @heyrobynai featured on @a16z 's agent map. We built Robyn to be the last and only agent you'll ever need. For the 41,316 people on our waitlist, we can't wait for you to experience Robyn very soon ๐Ÿ‘€.
Companies spent years battling bots. Now theyโ€™re fighting for their business. AI agents are the majority of Web traffic and generate most code pushed to production. Soon, they'll be buying most of what gets sold online. New piece with @omooretweets on the B2A economy ๐Ÿ‘‡

We are 100% serious that data centers can improve communities when the developers work hand-in-hand with the local residents, and @CipherInc backs that talk up with action. This is the path forward where everyone wins. $CIFR
Texans deserve a seat at the table when data centers come to their communities. Governor-elect Hinojosa has said it, and we agree. Itโ€™s how weโ€™ve operated from day one. Hear from our neighbors in Mitchell County and Colorado City, Texas in their own words:
