We were really impressed with how fast OAI's new gpt-realtime-2.1 was while still being able to call tools, so we wired it into our OS agent running on my phone. Now I can completely control any app on my phone while I'm biking to work

how do you "ban" an agent? do they have some hidden text that begs the agent not to click the buy now button?
Amazon banning agents is the first opportunity I've seen since Amazon was founded for a startup to create an Amazon competitor. People will want agents to buy stuff for them. It will be one of the main use cases. And they won't want to use some Amazon-supplied agent to do it.

A tad provocative but I believe in the next 10 years, OS level user models will be the most valuable real estate in AI - not foundation models. If action taking is abundant, the scarce resource is proactivity: which requires models tailor made to know you amplifypartners.com/blog-pos…

The Modal team is genuinely the best. I woke up at 5:30 to a $20k charge (billing error - our usage is typically ~$1k a month). I texted @erikdunteman at 6am (sorry Erik), and he had it fixed within 15 min

I felt bad that claude only had access to my codebase, so I gave him access to my entire phone

I wrote about GLM-5.2 as a window into frontier API economics. Near-frontier intelligence is getting cheaper and more commoditized, but frontier labs may still have meaningful inference margin on the last increment of quality and reliability. Link below.

We gave our OS the ability to read documents and the results are awesome. Your phone should know what’s going on in your life and be able to help you manage the chaos. By giving our SOTA personal agent the ability to read documents like PDFs it can uncover context that’s usually lost in the noise

I have an android phone with a secret OS on it that turns it into the Tricorder in Star Trek. Apple and Google will resist this because one app then rules them all. The guy @Shmall who did it would get me to buy one. It is a way better expression of the “anything app” idea that I have seen. @nothing could push it. I bet an “AI Phone” will find a lot of buyers. But when I see this below I realize that things will eventually get really crazy.

People take my videos without giving me credit. So I keep giving them more. Here is @Shmall who is showing me a new AI-run mobile phone. I think his system is way more interesting than what @sama showed me in a Mexican restaurant years ago here. At the @fdotinc startup festival. Which starts in two hours. I will have a lot more to say about what Sam is building soon.
