Zero to $100M ARR in 8 months. Acquired by Meta today. Huge congrats to @Red_Xiao_, @hidecloud, and the entire @ManusAI team. I’ve personally helped oversee 122 events in 2025, but this one stuck out as my favorite. It was the day of our first event together. At 9:00 AM, OpenAI dropped “Agent Mode." Our event was at 5:00 PM. Every other startup would have been frozen like a deer in the headlights. The largest player in the AI space just dropped a feature that could make your startup obsolete. The @AICollectiveCo @ManusAI team hopped on a call immediately. We pitched a narrative shift: "The Battle of the Agents." They didn’t hide from the news. They put it on the big screen. Manus showcased a LIVE demo of their agents vs. OpenAI’s release on stage that night. And the Manus agent won. Fast forward, and they achieved $100M ARR quicker than any startup in history. That level of fearlessness is exactly why they won. This was almost as fun as the first time we worked on their original product launch, but that’s a story for a different day. ;) Huge kudos to the team on this massive milestone!

Anthropic is trending no.1 in BannedBench (new benchmark)

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day. 400 of them are now worth over $100 million. These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries. Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000. Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous." The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before. Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

Looking to meet people on @X If you're into: - IRL communities - AI, robotics, startups - goodwill maxxing - nonlinear life paths Say hi or share your current rabbit hole! Looking to find my people here :)

Fable (mythos-level) is officially out now! x.com/claudedevs/status/2064…

JUST IN: Multiple sources confirm that Mythos will be released today.

4,226 voices have already been recorded across 147 Humans in AI Week events happening around the world this week. I do not think I would have believed that three years ago. In early 2023, a small group of us were sitting in a cozy San Francisco apartment trying to make sense of ChatGPT, AGI, and what this all meant for the world. The technology felt historic. The thing I remember most was the feeling in the room. People were thinking out loud. Changing their minds. Admitting confusion. Getting excited. Getting scared. Finding language together. That night became @AICollectiveCo. Three years later, this community has grown to 250,000 members, 200 chapters, 1,700 events, and 650 volunteer organizers around the world. This week, that same instinct is becoming Humans in AI Week: June 1–7, 2026, across 100 cities and 50 countries. A global time capsule for the AI era. The question is simple: What does it mean to be human in the AI era? The answers are messy. That is the point. Some people are excited. Some are scared. Some feel behind. Some feel superpowered. Most of us are carrying a few contradictory feelings at once. That is why I still believe so much in rooms full of real people. Online, AI discourse collapses into extremes. In person, the temperature changes. People listen longer. The anxious parts get named with more care. The optimistic parts become less abstract. You remember there is a person behind every position. That has always been the magic of this community. We can gather frontier builders, curious newcomers, artists, students, founders, policy people, educators, and skeptics into the same conversation, then let the room do what the internet usually cannot: slow people down enough to hear each other. Humans in AI Week feels like the culmination of 3 years of learning how to create those rooms. For me personally, this is also a handoff moment. I stepped back from leading The AI Collective because the community had become bigger than any one person, and because AJ, Catherine, and the team were ready to carry it into its next chapter. Watching them turn the original spark into something this global is SO special. Deeply grateful to @AJs_AI, @catrosemcmillan, our chapter leads, our volunteers, our partners, and every person showing up or adding their voice this week. This is what we built the community for. Onwards and upwards!! 🚀

if you’re in AI, pivot to world models

rumor has it that codex team didn’t ship today because of some major bugs *opens Codex to see what on earth it could possibly be*

SITUATION BREWING: Anthropic says it plans to release Mythos-class models to all customers in the coming weeks.

Is Opus 4.8 a distillation of Mythos?

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors. Available today at the same price.

MORE PROOF - Opus 4.8 in the claude code model selector on the desktop app.

We're ready for GPT-5.6 and Opus 4.8. Release them please. Thanks.

I wonder if in 5 years after AI tokens stop getting subsidized if we’ll look back at today and think: “damn, those were the good ‘ol days”
