I did the math, and $2M in OpenAI tokens is equivalent to a 450 pre-AI human engineering team for 2 years, in terms of raw LOC output.
OpenAI is offering $2M in tokens to every YC company in the spring and summer batches.
We extended the summer deadline to May 25 so more founders can get in on it.

If you're looking for startup ideas, here are some that YC partners want to fund.
2025 is shaping up to be the "year of AI agents".
We've put together a list of startup ideas that we think are especially promising— some draw attention to trends that are already in full swing, and some of them are where we think things are going next.

Apple AI Mesh explained.
Who taught me a lot about beacons for my second book? The founder of @Estimote who just laid out the AI Mesh, AKA “UltraWideBand.”
This goes into that in detail.
