I've been having a ton of fun writing songs and resurrecting old demos with the new v6 model from @suno, and it's amazing but also hilarious to notice how the music model starting to have it's own version of "LLM speak". Example: I wrote the melody, chords and lyrics for a Halloween song yesterday in about an hour, and gave Suno a phone recording of me + piano, and then got Suno to turn it into this: suno.com/s/68T7tnEhnPizSlJd. Cut to the outro. I told it to be "restrained", lol. Notice things like super heavy build ups, quick cuts to instrumental breaks, flashy licks, big reverb. All sorts of stuff that I'm sure got RLHF'd into it, and now will show up wayyy too much. Every second of the song is now fair game for some production or arrangement technique you'd normally save for the finale. But still, hats off. This is an amazing unlock for me to be able to turn sketches into something that sounds like a real song.

Make beats in real time with Jev! Try it out yourself with with this demo I made: jevdrummer.dev/ You can create and edit a drum beats live, just by typing or speaking. Jev's super fast responses make the experience feel smooth and keep you in the flow. All free and open source. :) cc @typesafeai

⌛️ Time to invent. :) Han and team have built a really cool AI patent system that I wish existed when I went through getting a patent years ago. Give them a shout if your company ever wants a patent. Or hell, now that it's so cheap, start patenting more stuff! (defensively only!)

Jev is such great counter-positioning to the big labs. They are structurally disincentivized to respond. Everything in their stack... from current revenue sources, to marketing, sales and use cases, to their API shape, scheduling and batching software, billing, data center investments, pre-commitments, research direction, and ASIC development...Not to mention better margins they get if someone solves a simple problem with an LLM. Virtually their whole product and infra stack, plus revenue incentives are geared around autoregressive LLMs. That gives Jev a much better chance of winning. Brilliant job @typesafeai

building used to teach you how things worked.... now it just teaches you where the agents still suck

We made the difficult decision to wind down @heron_finance today. I'm proud of what we built - the first SEC-registered roboadvisor for private markets, 20X growth since last year to $50M AUM, 200%+ net revenue retention - but finding consistent distribution is brutal for new platforms. That's definitely a lesson learned. Distribution is king and only becoming more so with AI. It's been bittersweet seeing clients write in about how much they'll miss it. I want to say a big thanks to all the customers, all our investors, and our amazing team who made it possible. It was quite the ride. As for me, there's a little wind-down work, then I'll take a short breather, and excited to figure out what's next. :)

Big launch today! @heron_finance now has a truly unique offering for pre-IPO investing. It's the best of both worlds. Full control over what you get, with a seamless self-serve experience. Launch post below. Check it out now at heronfinance.com/
