We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again. Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard. It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min. Pre-orders are now live at: subvocal.co/preorder?utm_sou…

I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model. Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching. We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards. As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

whenever tech like this is released, there's a few month period where you can sell it to businesses, here's how i'd do it... > find industries that take a sh*t ton of phone calls > build an AI receptionist that isn't a pain to talk to for each one > program it to answer every inbound call, qualify leads, and book appointments > cold outreach to dentists, med spas, HVAC companies, law firms, restaurants, etc. > charge a flat fee to set it up + monthly maintenance

I actually upgraded my Anthropic sub because of how well Opus 5.5 works with Sol 6.1. It's the best combo I can imagine right now. Opus is the project manager I talk to, while Sol workers execute and solve problems on their own. Astra is there for feedback on very critical features. Talking to Opus is much nicer than talking to Sol, and Opus seems to think things through more from the user's perspective rather than from a technical POV. On the other hand, Sol 6.1, compared side by side with Opus 5.5, still has the upper hand in technical depth, problem-solving, and computer use in my existing large-scale projects and workflows. That, along with how efficient they are, makes Sol workers the perfect execution agents, IMO. I know that Opus is better at prototyping and one-shotting stuff, primarily because it's stronger end-to-end with better UI and visual design, but that's not my use case atm. I still wish OpenAI had a good designer model. People love Opus because it covers the whole spectrum, not just technical problem-solving and computer use workflows. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this setup.

Just spoke to the Head of AI at a huge company. The #1 thing they're struggling with is... what do I do with the AI laggards at our company? Like most companies, they’ve found that a Super Pareto Principle is true within their org. 10% of their employees are responsible for 90% of the uplift in productivity/token usage from software engineering to non-technical knowledge work. They’ve spent a lot of time & resources on AI enablement from LLM foundations to function-specific trainings and skill building. And yet, the power law of productivity increases hasn’t budged. So now they’re left with a few sobering thoughts and hard questions: 1) 90% of people are overpaid and 10% are underpaid 2) We’d be better off allocating tokens proportionally to the power law, but how do we do that without killing culture? 3) Significant layoffs are likely warranted and wouldn’t impact overall output, but cultural backlash is a big concern? 4) How do we hire more power law people as a non technology company? 5) Is all of our efforts on training and enablement ACTUALLY worth it? 6) How do we not experience a brain drain where the top 10% all leave because they want to be surrounded by other AI-native 10x’ers?

is chat the final form of agent ui? please share why

Coding agents (Claude code, codex) -> personal agents (instinct, muse) -> companyOS (???)

TanStack Start 1.0 🔥 In less than a minute we create and deploy a TanStack application, then add a D1 database... Deploying on Cloudflare is TOO EASY

I think the next big opportunity isn’t micro-SaaS. AI is getting insanely good at coding and building software. Instead of selling another tool, we should start selling Workflows as a Service (WaaS). People don’t want more software. They want results.

i can’t comprehend why people still type the same prompt into Claude Code every day three files and your daily routine becomes three commands: → /ship commits, writes the PR and opens it → /fix reads the error, finds the cause and patches it → /explain turns any file into a 5-line summary your best prompts, one slash away paste this into Claude Code Create these three files in ~/.claude/commands/ and show me what you made. ~/.claude/commands/ship.md Review the staged changes, write a clear commit message, commit, push the branch and open a PR with a short summary of what changed and why. ~/.claude/commands/fix.md Read this error: $ARGUMENTS Find the root cause, not the symptom. Patch it, run the tests, and tell me in two lines what was wrong. ~/.claude/commands/explain.md Explain $ARGUMENTS in 5 lines: what it does, what calls it, what it depends on, what could break it, and where to start reading.

90% of my tokens is going to the construction of my software factory, designed for rust apps. obs-rust is just an example of what it can do. I’m at ~2.5k PRs for this month, same as you.

harsh phrase im stealing from the internet meat proxy its an engineer who copies a task from slack into claude, waits, then pastes the pr link back into slack thats not a job if all you do is move a prompt from one window to another i can just do that myself the engineers who matter now are product-first or foundational everyone in the middle is optimizing themselves out of the loop
