A year ago, /function1 was a one-day curated gathering of 600 people.
In late 2025, it became a two-day conference with three stages, 150 speakers, and 10,000 attendees from 141 countries - that’s 72% of the whole world!
In just 11 months, we have grown 16x in scale, becoming one of the most rapidly growing tech conferences in the world. Today, we are more than just an event: a full-fledged ecosystem where the AI world gathers to communicate, exchange ideas, and evolve.
The growth happened fast. The impact is real. And this is only the start.

Imagine: every morning, someone excitedly tells you what happened in AI in the last 24 hours, just like an old friend during your morning coffee.
We’re excited to announce AI Morning by thehype radio, a daily podcast briefing you didn't know you needed - and it’s just under 10 minutes long.

Again, Marcus doesn't report the news; he actually processes it. There's a big difference between "here's what happened" and "here's what I can't stop thinking about." Marcus is strongly opinionated, a little dry in his humor, but never corporate.
If you've ever wanted a smart friend who reads everything AI-related every morning and passionately delivers you the best parts, this is that.

Back at the AI Genesis Hackathon, together with @lablabai, we asked one simple question: what's the most illegal thing our participants did that day?
Nobody admitted to anything - at least, not on camera.
What do you think was the most suspicious answer in this reel?

The future of work may not be humans vs AI at all.
According to @PhillipKingston (CTO, @AppliedAICo), some companies are already seeing better results from systems where AI handles scale, and humans step in where expertise and judgment matter most.
Once organizations see the side-by-side performance, there is no going back.

Back in November 2025, @chantel_elloway (President & Founder, CEPR) asked our audience if AI would surpass human creativity.
Few said yes. More said no. But when asked if we want AI to push creativity beyond human limits, the answers became mixed. Maybe the real question is not what AI can do, but what we actually want from it?

AI agents are everywhere right now, with millions of users and billions in projected value, but it’s still unclear how much is real progress and how much is hype. What do you think will actually last?

The most human things aren’t complicated.
Coffee. Conversations. A bit of panic.
Meeting people and figuring things out.
Just a normal day at the AI Genesis hackathon by /function1 and @lablabai - in the middle of something bigger.

Mohamed Awes (@drma_9), CEO of @avano_ai, started as a doctor. Then, he became a car rental operator. Now he's building AI for an entire region.
None of it looked connected. Until you see the pattern.
At every stop - medicine, rentals, tech - he kept seeing the same thing: broken systems, which nobody was fixing.
That became the only through line that mattered.

At /function1, a person approached their booth without them pitching at all. Before showcasing the demo. First question was: "What's your traction?"
That conversation reframed everything. A new idea appeared - the data they were collecting had value far beyond the subscription. That every operator that joined made the platform smarter for every other operator. A flywheel, not just a product.

What would Mohamed tell himself 18 months ago? This is important to hear for everyone building early:
"Stop waiting for the product to be perfect before you show it to the world. What gets built is always shaped by real contact with real users, real markets, real pushback. And you cannot do it alone. One hand does not clap."

We're 18 days into March, and already breaking records for $100M AI rounds. Not in apps, though - in infrastructure.
$720B in Big Tech capex. $610M into AI agent infra. It seems like money is gathering around whoever (or whatever) becomes unavoidable.
Are you building on someone else's infrastructure, or rather becoming the infrastructure?
