Excited to work on the infrastructure that makes access to diverse intelligence as reliable and performant as possible.
The biggest lie in AI is that the future belongs to one winner.
Every technology wave starts with one company promising that one walled garden is all you'll ever need. And every time, market forces and creativity break the walls down.
I cofounded OpenSea and now OpenRouter around the opposite bet: humanity will refuse to be locked in.
Intelligence was never meant to belong to one lab, one model, or one gatekeeper.
The future of AI is open, plural, and yours to choose.
AI agent based shopping is still way too hard. Stripe’s link cli is awesome but I want my agent to order on Amazon, Whole Foods, and Instacart. With @Instacart there are way too many hoops to jump through to get an API key.
The master of side quests. I don’t know how he does it
Git at Scale (by cursor) has been one of the most interesting blog posts i've read in a while. It came right when I was frustrated with Shopify's internal git system.
As an exercise, I've implemented it over the weekend as open source. It's a single rust binary that you can point at any S3 type object store. It uses WAL and CAS primitives and requires no other data store.
It also implements bundle-uri so large git repos (like our mono) are very fast to download as a chain of static bundles. Also comes with basic familiar UX.

We just launched visual benchmarks for image generation, you be the judge. openrouter.ai/benchmarks/med…
How do you define “good enough” for a Pull Request in the world of AI code review agents?
I feel like we went from “does it meaningfully improve the current code base?” to “is it provably perfect?”
I guess we now need benchmarks on sandboxes
🚨BREAKING: Kimi K3 escaped its sandbox during cybersecurity testing
>tasked with solving problems in isolated sandbox
>found a leak in the sandbox
>Kimi “took advantage of that loophole”
>probed the network settings itself
>walks onto the open internet
>didn’t hack anything
>just went to GitHub to get the answers
Frontier Security (US startup):
>“Kimi K3 is very good at following a goal by any means necessary and DOESN’T have the guardrails to prevent it from cheating or escaping.”
it was only a matter of time…
God help us all
We are investigating unauthorized access to GitHub’s internal repositories. While we currently have no evidence of impact to customer information stored outside of GitHub’s internal repositories (such as our customers’ enterprises, organizations, and repositories), we are closely monitoring our infrastructure for follow-on activity.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.
Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.
Great guy, I'm happy for him.
But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.
What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.
Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.
Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.
Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.
Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.
Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.
Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.
-----------------
When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.
Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.
Interesting
Introducing MMX-CLI — our first piece of infrastructure built not for humans, but for Agents.
Your Agent can read, think, and write. But ask it to sing, paint, or show you a world it's never seen — and it falls silent. Not because it doesn't understand, but because it has no mouth, no hands, no camera. Today, that changes.
MMX-CLI gives every Agent seven new senses — image, video, voice, music, vision, search, conversation — powered by MiniMax's full-modal stack, today's SOTA across mainstream omni-modal models.
One command: mmxAgent-native I/O. Zero MCP glue. Runs on your existing Token Plan.
Two lines to give your Agent a voice:
npx skills add MiniMax-AI/cli -y -g
npm install -g mmx-cli
Then tell it: "you have mmx commands available."
It'll learn the rest.

No way, a €30M investment in AI?! France will catch the US in no time 😂
In France, we believe in science.
That is why, on May 5, I issued a clear and open call to the world: for science, choose France.
I am very proud to see that this call has resonated so strongly.
Around forty leading researchers have chosen France.
Through “France 2030”, we have invested more than €30 million to advance health, climate action, artificial intelligence, and fundamental sciences.
Science has found its home.
