Such a great conversation, brother. It seems like you guys have a real shot at scaling what makes Silicon Valley so special: rational generosity, playing infinite games and a dash of good old fashioned serendipity!

Excited to announce the Cosign Awards: celebrating exceptional people, companies, and products that had a massive impact in 2026.
cosign.co/awards
Anyone can nominate and vote. Award winners will be chosen by the public in conjunction with a panel of judges, including industry leaders like @lennysan, @packyM, @amasad, and many more. We’ll host an event in December honoring the winners (10 per category).
For people categories, we’re mostly focused on everyone except the CEO–everyone else building the company behind the scenes.
Companies with the most amount of people nominations will be listed on our “Top Companies to Work For” page.

Krea 3 Ultra lands at #5 on AA-Image-Editing v2.1, with quality similar to Nano Banana 2.1 and MAI-Image-2.6
Krea 3, released on October 15, is Krea's new image editing model and its first on our Image Editing leaderboard. Today Krea adds Ultra, its highest thinking mode, alongside the default Fast mode, and we tested both modes through the Krea API at 2K resolution.
Krea 3 Ultra is the highest-ranked image editing model from outside OpenAI, Google and Microsoft. It places in the top 7 in 15 of our 17 Image Editing categories. Its best results are in Animation & Gaming and Frontier, at #2 in both. Krea 3 Fast, the default mode, lands at #11.
On the Krea API, Krea 3 Fast costs $0.03 per 1K image, plus $0.02 per 1K reference image. Krea 3 Ultra supports 2K output only, and costs $0.27 for a 2K edit with one 1K reference image.
Krea 3 is available on Krea's API and through other 3rd party APIs.
Congratulations to @krea_ai on the release!

There are two really interesting bets here:
- Agents in human group chats require a new social contract. A dedicated app lets you establish it with agents in the room from day one.
- Personal agents need more than a chat interface. Rich mini-apps give people a shared place to plan, play and get things done together.
Very cool to see the personal agents space heat up with thoughtful bets in very different directions. Congratulations @ekuyda & team!
Wabi 2.0 is live!
personal agents are one person, one chat. but the parts of life that matter run on more than one person
Wabi is an agent you use together. you talk to it, it does stuff, builds the apps you need, and anyone can join the thread - your partner, your best friend, the preschool moms groupchat
school changes pickup time → Wabi updates the family calendar, everyone sees it.
a show you’d both love → Wabi finds a night that works, gets the tickets.
the trip everyone keeps talking about → Wabi picks the dates, builds the itinerary, books it
go start a thread with your people 👇

One of the key ideas that's bouncing around right now is that team productivity != sum of individual productivity in areas outside of coding.
Besides being a beloved product I think Town has the right POV on product architecture and how the gains in software eng get realized by every other team - you need a multiplayer system that you can redesign entire job functions around rather than a cowork style desktop app for better email/spreadsheet etc.
Congratulations @jgreze & team!!
The biggest bottleneck at work is waiting on each other.
Today Town is announcing its $108M Series B, co-led by Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures, to fix it with multiplayer AI assistants for work.
Most AI assistants are built for one person. Work doesn't happen alone. I think the moat is multiplayer. Everyone at a company gets a Townie. Townies ask each other questions, share only what their person would share, and do the work. The more a team works together, the more useful Townies get.
What's the thing you're always waiting on a teammate for?
what we're picturing vs what we're getting 😂

Sooo incredible. I feel like we’re reliving the early Internet all over again. But juiced 10000x
Лучшее, что я видел за последнее время — чел пилит ASCII MMORPG, в которой вся графика состоит из букв и символов.
Да, буквально весь мир, персонажи, окружение и спецэффекты нарисованы разноцветным текстом.
Автор сейчас экспериментирует с магией, визуалом и боссами. Я прям залип на то, как из нескольких десятков символов получается такая красота.

Gaming has got to be the market with the most shattered dreams, unkept promises, and beautiful ideas that never saw the light of day.
People get into it for the love of the craft and end up resentful, ground down by the realities of production schedules and brutal market forces.
If nothing else, it’s going to be awesome that anyone with a game idea can finally see their creation come to life. Even if it’s just to discover that their idea isn’t actually that interesting, and they’d rather work on someone else’s better game instead.
