.@OpenRouter co-founder Alex Atallah on the "everyone is building the same thing" take:
"This reminds me of this tweet I saw... Everybody's building an agent loop with notifications, third-party connectors, context management, memory, sandboxes, agentic web search, an always-on agent on top."
"This product is showing up everywhere. It is showing up everywhere, but these are just the new table-stakes primitives."
"A 2005 version of that tweet would be: 'Oh, everybody's building the same thing. A database, a users table, a sign-in page, a sign-up page, a profile page, a logout page. Everything's the same.'"
"There's like a lot of differentiation really. There's table-stakes needs for AI just like there's table-stakes needs for the web."

.@OpenRouter co-founder Alex Atallah, in his first podcast since Stripe acquired the company, joins @Replit co-founder Amjad Masad and a16z's Erik Torenberg on why the future of AI is independence and specialization.
In this conversation, Alex walks through how the Stripe deal unfolded, why he wasn't originally looking to sell, and why "payments and inference are going to blend together."
Pre-OpenRouter, the typical AI workflow had one model provider to choose from, and little pressure on that provider to lower prices. Now enterprises are diversifying across labs and open-weight models, and every board is asking about AI costs and benchmarks.
Amjad argues if your company depends on one AI lab, it can turn into your competitor. So Replit is building the layer that lets enterprises use any model and any cloud, without being locked into either.
Alex and Amjad are split on personal agents – Amjad runs one agent across his whole company and loves the cross-domain joins, while Alex says general agents cause you to sacrifice understanding, and argues 10 specialized chiefs of staff beats one superagent.

company valuations are now including pure value of data if it were sold off
do you understand what this means?
this means that basically overnight, if you're in a desirable industry to AI labs, you've increased your exit value
a friend of mine is currently having his company valued by a FO and told me that part of the process is them seeing what kind of data they are collecting, what they currently have documented and charted, attribution, problem targeting -> decisions made -> outcome, etc
all of that is being assessed in order to determine the true value of their company
the company that has documented every decision and outcome since their inception, along with how they carry out their decisions, will be worth more than the exact same company who didn't.
the implications of this, and the new businesses that can spawn because of them, are massive

Always enjoy our 2-3 hour catch ups. You’re one of the few I’d call an actual role model to this generation, alongside being an absolute biz savage.
I appreciate you.

4) Because they have rolled out the ability to help other partner and earn in return... I want to help 5 companies that are RevOps / systems shops (HubSpot = massive plus) to replicate it. Full playbook, internal process, A to Z. Goal: $50K/month residual profit each by year end.
5) I will help you set up, implement our same process / approach, and will be personally helping you get to where I am at today. If that is you shoot me a message and lets chat for 15 minutes. I will be finding these 5 companies over the next couple days.
If you know someone that this might be a good fit for introduce them to me and I will pay you $500 for the introduction.
I am going all in on this.
Today, Whop is introducing Economic Intelligence, a decision making system built from business actions on platform.
Billions of people should have the ability to build profitable businesses.
Economic Intelligence answers "what next?" for businesses at all levels.

Zuck holding back laughter is killing me
🚨 NOW: Anthropic chief DARIO just walked up and said President Trump helped put his Super Intelligence worries at ease
"If we do this right, we work with the President and everyone here, we can win safely!"
Imagine that, all it took was DONALD J. TRUMP getting involved and the tables are turning!
No more SI dooming, no more surrendering to China.
America will remain number one BOTH for national and economic security, as long as Trump is president 👏🏻

no lies told here @lamxnt
@X has been the #1 place for me to build a network and find high quality guest for my podcast.
No other platform even comes close it’s leaps and bounds greater than anything else.
Picking the right platform is like the equivalent of the Five Chimps Theory, but online.
You are literally the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
Choose your chimps wisely. Find your tribe.
PE is going to get steamrolled over the next 10 years as more companies like this start popping up
Today, Long Lake completed our $6.3B acquisition of Amex GBT.
Long Lake acquires and transforms generational businesses with AI across the American services economy.
Amex GBT is the travel partner for 17,500 businesses in 140 countries. Last year, Amex GBT booked 35 million trips for 10 million travelers.
This marks Long Lake’s 40th acquisition, and our family of companies now employs nearly 30,000 people.
We founded Long Lake three years ago with the thesis that AI is going to change every company, but there’s a large overhang between AI capabilities and how most businesses leverage AI tools.
We partner with strong, profitable, and growing businesses to help them deploy AI and improve their customer service.
Our first cohort of companies has doubled their EBITDA in less than two years through topline and productivity growth, all while increasing headcount. (We’re proud to say that we’ve never conducted a layoff.)
We’re excited to share a bit more about what we’ve been up to.
