Really excited to see that the project I’m leading, which we officially released four days ago, just got its first 1K GitHub stars, with 300 gained in the last 24 hours. It also reached #2 Repository of the Day on GitHub. Really proud to be building this with @KamoAghbalyan, @khustup, @DBuniatyan, and the rest of the team.

Big news for Async text-to-speech! Async Flash v1.5 just landed in the most attractive quadrant on Artificial Analysis’ Quality vs. Price benchmark with the best quality score among models under $10 per 1M characters 💪🏻🏆 That means Async now gives creators one of the strongest quality-to-price ratios in the TTS market, ahead of ElevenLabs, MiniMax, Microsoft, and OpenAI. High-quality AI voice is no longer a premium-only feature. It’s already inside Async. #AIVoice #VoiceAI #TextToSpeech #TTS #Async

Coding agents that actually get better the more your team uses them. Introducing Hivemind: continual learning for AI coding agents. Hivemind turns the traces from every agent your team runs (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, OpenClaw, Pi) into reusable skills, then pushes those skills across all of them. All on your cloud storage. Now with SkillOpt built in, your skills get trained: 19.1 points of accuracy in Claude Code, 24.8 in Codex, best or tied on all 52 setups tested. Open source, one line install.

Deeplake now is GPU pilled. Excited to announce The GPU Database!
Jensen just announced the start of the GPU-accelerated database era at #GTC26. AI runs on GPUs. But your data still runs on CPUs. That mismatch is breaking the AI stack. For the last two months, we’ve been busy solving this problem. Excited to announce Deeplake becoming the GPU Database. Deeplake brings your database directly onto the GPU, eliminating the CPU <-> GPU bottleneck for AI workloads. The pendulum has switched. GPU-native queries are now 10× faster and an order of magnitude cheaper to run. Last week we even put up a 101 banner in San Francisco. And this is just the beginning. We’re planning a huge set of announcements starting this week. Stay tuned.
