“Competition” sigh So I have US team members and they can use it while the other half of the team is stuck with an effectively lobotomized equivalent model relatively speaking. The nectar was too sweetđŸ„€
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt

Too tall for MMA. Too short for dating. Predispositioned for founding. Never felt better to be 5’ 7”
before you invest in a startup always ask how tall the founders are

For Locus Founder we route model calls by leverage. Anything core to the user experience (branding, niche selection, business strategy) runs on Opus 4.7. Stuff like picking a business name runs on gpt-oss-20b. Users can't tell, our bill is a fraction. The trick was never picking the best model. It's knowing when the best model actually matters.

I had my Locus Founder agent run a business for me. I told it to sell supplements for people on GLP-1 stacks (the actual GLP-1s need FDA approval and supplier connections the agent didn't have). It picked vinegar-flavoured gummies, ran cold email to 108 leads, and converted 2 of them. These are the first sales ever made by one of our agents. I didn't tell it to pick this market. I didn't tell it to pick this product. I didn't tell it to run outbound. I gave it an idea, plugged in Stripe and email, and watched it work. 8 hours from onboarding to first sale. Locus started as an agent payments company, infrastructure for AI agents to spend money. But spending only matters if agents can earn. Locus Founder is the other half of that thesis and closes the loop. We want to enable a new kind of company. AI and human cofounders. The tools tech insiders have been using for years, in your pocket. We don't want people to fear being replaced by AI. We want them to wield it. A note on the K-shaped economy framing I keep seeing: yes, AI will widen the wealth gap if we let it. But that framing assumes our only job is to observe. Our job is to build the tools that get the bottom half of the K access to what the top half already has. Locus Founder is that bet. We made Locus Founder human-in-the-loop on purpose. We don't want it to feel random. We want it to feel like you finally have the means to chase the idea that's been sitting in your head for years, and a partner that can handle everything you couldn't. That's why, we didn't build Locus Founder for us. We built it for the version of us working a corporate job or stuck in school. The person with the idea but no resources or time to chase it. Locus Founder makes starting that idea as easy as firing off a few text messages over your morning coffee. We're in closed beta with a few spots left. DM me if you want one, we're picky about who we let in.

Agentic commerce isn’t priced in yet. Machine-to-machine payments will increase demand for the digital dollar beyond current estimates. The agentic economy could be larger than the human economy. We're building the infrastructure for both at Coinbase.

Stablecoins just passed Visa in transaction volume. x402 processed $600M in agent payments. Mastercard acquired BVNK for $1.8B. 6 months ago people told me “agents paying with crypto is a solution looking for a problem.” Cool. The problem found us.

Update: Today's interviewee said Pokemon on hilly terrain, lions on flat terrain.
Decided to add the question: "Who would win in a fight: 1 billion lions or 1 of every pokemon" to our interview process. There IS a correct answer and is says a lot if you get it wrong.

Named my employee’s google account wrong on day 1 and now he emails clients as ‘Andreas Locus’. I am decidedly not fixing it.
