GPT-6 Astra can now paint the Golden Gate bridge and type on a keyboard. But can it throw a dinner party for real guests?
@claireymao and I are on a mission to find out. We gave it a robot arm (named Podrick) and a kitchen. As a first task, Podrick, controlled by Astra, garnishes each cup of water with a slice of lemon! 🍋
i built an anti-slop software factory for ~50 contributors (and all their agents), from engineering to marketing, and i am sharing everything i learned
there is a lot of discourse around software factories, and though they sound amazing in theory, in practice, it can get exponentially sloppy if you are not careful. to keep the slop out, a lot of "good practices" we learned about software development get turned on their head.
in this video:
> why i banned useState and useEffect
> why code duplication is ok
> why skills aren't enough
> how to stop slop from compounding
btw this is not sponsored, i mention a few tools we use: @trpcio (e2e typesaftey), @vercel (app router), @aidenybai (react doctor), @meticulousgabe (frontend tests), @mcpjams (MCP tests), @cursor_ai (bugbot), @useblacksmith (fast CI), @composio (agent triggers & tools)

My YC batch wrapped up yesterday & I wanted to share a few of the companies I was close with and think you should check out!
@hoplite_sh - cloud agents with a beautiful design - their onboarding flow is incredible and gets you up and running super quickly
@try_glen - organizational context for agents, I thought memory was a gimmick until talking w/ @nikos1 and seeing what glen can do
@getcontextdev - makes the web accessible to your agent - I'm a happy customer of them with integrations.sh, blown away with @mynameisyahia as a founder
@gitcafe - going to replace GitHub, if any founder is going to do it @the_versecafe will be the one
So many incredible founders in this batch, kept this list shorter for relevance to my audience so make sure to give them a try!
If you are interested in joining the founding team at Glen! Shoot me a msg!

Excited to announce the public beta release of Agentmuxer, the OpenRouter for Agent Capabilities! Check out the tools you can give your agent and sign up at agentmuxer.com to get $10 of free credits while the promotional credit pool lasts!
Today we’re announcing r-1, our new document parsing model. It’s more accurate than our most powerful agentic OCR models, faster, and up to 6x cheaper.
At @reductoai, we spent two years building specialized models for complex visual layouts, tables spanning multiple pages, and key formatting like strikethroughs. We then used everything we learned to build r-1, the first in a new generation of models designed to handle the hardest documents without multiplying cost.
This early preview delivers a 20% lower error rate than our most accurate legacy agentic models and will keep improving with new checkpoints over the next few weeks.
Accuracy is only the beginning. r-1 preview is available at 1¢ per page all-in, with additional volume discounts as you scale. In the near term we’re also going to release r-1 mini, and an auto mode that intelligently selects the right approach for each page.
If you’re currently using another parser, we’re offering up to $5,000 in credits to evaluate and migrate. You can claim the migration offer and learn more about r-1 using the links in the comments.
Happy parsing!
Glen is building the organizational learning and context layer for agents.
Every agent session your team runs produces reasoning worth keeping, and nearly all of it is discarded the moment the window closes.
Glen is the layer that unifies every agent and model your company run. Glen pulls in agent sessions from Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, plus Slack messages, GitHub prs, tickets, docs and calls.
When a new agent picks up a task, Glen finds relevant prior context and injects it in the agents context window to steer it, producing knowledge work that is significantly higher quality, faster and cheaper than ever before.
29% less context and 21% faster to be exact.
And Glen does more...
> query the original agent behind any line of code
> search every session your org has ever run
> dynamic skill distillation
> multiplayer agents
> unified transcripts you can hand between Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor mid-task,
> a company brain in Slack.
Glen is in early access, sign up for the waitlist below.

We’re announcing our $13.5M Series A led by @Standard_Cap.
AI has taken over engineering and companies are wasting millions. Weave gets you the most out of every dollar spent on tokens.
Have fun watching a man attempt to conquer his fears in the video.

"if i can interface with everything through my agent, why would i go to the dashboard?"
i sat down with @sarahfim, mts at @composio, at the @browserbase @aiDotEngineer booth. fresh off her AIE talk "dashboards are dead," we got into:
- why agent experience is the next wave and how to design for agents
- personal agents as the main consumer of the internet
- building and open-sourcing TrustClaw, a production-ready personal agents
