Our first meetup in Ho Chi Minh City exceeded all expectations! 🎉
With more than 20 participants and nearly 3 hours of engaging discussions, the session brought a lot of fresh, practical, and valuable insights.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to join, share, and connect. Special thanks to Hoang Le and Phan Quynh for their practical insights on marketing and real-world applications of AI in both work and learning.
Also, big thanks to Charles Hieu Nguyen for the encouragement and valuable advice on how to organize an effective meetup.
We also truly appreciate the vision shared by Unikorn, which has been a great source of inspiration. Looking forward to everyone continuing to follow and support Hai Nguyen and Unikorn in building and growing a strong founder and startup community.

Announcing Signalful Analysis
We analyze points of view across podcasts to see where the best operators and investors agree and disagree.
Our first post: should your AI app build AI models or rent them?
Canva cut its AI costs by about 90% by training its own models. Harvey spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year running AI models and tells application companies to rent closed ones until the bill forces them to train their own. Opposite moves, one question: should an AI product run on rented models or its own?
Builders give three answers: rent the best model and ride each release, own the model for margin, or match the model to the task. A task worth thousands of dollars justifies the most expensive model on offer. Routine work at volume does not.

Hi, I'm Felix. I'm an eng lead working on Claude. I love watching people take flight and do things they never thought possible.
We often describe that as "being more ambitious" when using AI, which is tricky advice to follow. I wrote a tutorial:

Everybody has something to learn from Elon.
Meta's chief AI officer Alexandr Wang says @ElonMusk taught him something that helped shape Meta's AI strategy
You don't necessarily need thousands of engineers to move fast.
You need a small group of exceptionally talented people, very little hierarchy, and the freedom to get things done.
Wang says he brought that idea to Mark Zuckerberg, who embraced it as a central part of their approach to AI.
Meta, a company with enormous resources, is now deliberately borrowing from the way Elon builds small, highly technical teams.
At some point, adding more people stops making you faster.
And in AI, where the technology can change dramatically in a matter of months, the speed of a decision can matter as much as the resources behind it.

Introducing Anatomy
Describe a machine in one line. Claude brings it to life.
- Interactive isometric wireframes you can rotate, inspect and explore
- WebGL shaders for fire, water, plasma and more
- Real 3D motion, with individual parts that rotate and move
Install it as an agent skill. Fully open source.

The status of the program status specification I shared yesterday in alphabetical order: integrated in Amp, Factoryai, TUIOS, libghostty. Verbal support and in-progress PRs by Claude Code, cmux, Codex, Herdr, OpenCode, Pi. Requests in to many others. Not bad for 24 hours!

I just called Chungus (my OpenAI Dot) on the phone while picking up mexican food and asked it to transfer some Rex benchmarks from last night on my Mac Studio to my MacBook Pro via Tailscale and I just got to my desk and there they are. What a fucking time to be alive.

🚨NEW EXPERIMENT 🚨
Playground is an experimental gaming platform that lets you create your own games with zero coding experience. If you can think it, you can play it.
Go to labs.google/playground to learn more! Available to users 18+ in the US.
How many pencils, how many humans, how many hours would it have taken to recreate the Adobe suite by hand?

Say hello to Rexie, our mascot for Rex! Superlogical public testing is beginning. We’re working through our mailing list in the order people signed up. Initial testing is limited to macOS but that’ll expand quickly. Welcome, new testers. superlogical.com/updates/pub…

Cloudflare have integrated Pi Durable in the agents SDK. Really happy how it turned out. Props to @mattzcarey et al. for getting this done on such short notice.
It "just works" :)

the amount of slop has been drastically reduced in my terminal since my agents use this skill to write in ASD-STE100: github.com/0xpili/simplified…
We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:
Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:
Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:
Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:
Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!
In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

introducing 𝚌𝚕𝚎𝚏: our first models trained by @cloudflare's workers ai team.
today, we're releasing two fast and accurate decision models that top the benchmarks for quality and latency. use them hosted on workers ai or grab the weights from @huggingface, because we open-sourced it too.

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.
