Standing room only for the Co-inventor of ChatGPT. Now CEO & Co-founder of @typesafeai, @CompleteSkeptic on LLM history, mystery, and optimization to figure out where the f**k is all the automation.

(totally unrelated to Flipbook) My friends and I organize a creative make-a-thon summer camp for adults every summer in SF called Fidget Camp and we just opened applications for this year! If you are a creative nerd who loves to learn and teach and make art and be surrounded by others who love the same please apply by May 10th! fidgetcamp.com/

Come see 4 of these founders speak in the Inference Systems track. We have announcements and math and models, oh my!

We benchmarked GPT-5.5 on document understanding 📄📊 We ran it through ParseBench, our comprehensive OCR benchmark over enterprise documents. We evaluated metrics across various dimensions: visual grounding, tables, charts, and more. We evaluated GPT-5.5 on mid thinking and zero-thinking modes. When compared against GPT-5.4 (0 thinking) and Opus 4.7 (adaptive thinking): 📈 GPT-5.5 wins on tables 📈 GPT-5.5 wins on visual grounding 📉 GPT-5.5 0-thinking does worse on charts than GPT-5.4 0-thinking 📉 Higher thinking does worse than lower thinking of content faithfulness, semantic formatting 📉 Opus 4.7 wins overall on content faithfulness and semantic formatting 💸 GPT-5.5 is expensive: 13c per page at mid-thinking modes and 5.93 at 0-thinking! This is 5x the cost of any competitive OCR solution. Conclusion: GPT-5.5 is one of the better frontier models out there in terms of pure accuracy, but def not pound for pound w.r.t price.

We just raised $30M at a $500M valuation, bringing our total funding to $47M. Led by @craft_ventures , with @PaceCap , @chemistry , TruArrow, and others. But before anything else: this belongs to the community. ComfyUI started as one developer and one open-source repo. No roadmap. No company. Just creators who wanted real control over how they built with AI. That community is now: → 4 million users → 60,000 community-built nodes → 150,000 daily downloads Every number traces back to people who built in the open, for anyone to use. Here's where the funding goes: → Comfy Cloud: for teams and studios that need security and scale → Collaborative workflows: versioning and iteration built for how studios actually work → A better local experience: more seamless, more stable → Ecosystem reliability: making 60,000 community nodes more dependable → Day-one model support: every major release, compatible at launch We are not building a walled garden. We are building open infrastructure, built to last. Thank you genuinely, The ComfyUI Team

I'm starting a new project. Working on what I consider to be the most important problem: building thinking machines that adapt and continuously learn. We have incredibly talent dense founding team are hiring for engineering, ops, design. Join us: adaptionlabs.ai/

A warm shoutout to @JustJamieJoyce, the queen of freedom of thought herself for speaking alongside @hackgoofer, proud winner of the last AI for Thought mind merge :D Good luck to everyone!!

Everyone teaches how to go from 0 to 1, but no one shows us how to go from 1 back to 0 Today, I fired myself without a plan, but felt peace and pride wash over me. It’s strange, but I can’t shake the feeling that life brought me here on purpose. Like it’s been trying to tell me something all along. It spoke through my unhappiness, even when I had the “perfect” setup: the best position, a great salary, and work tied to my passion. Something still felt wrong. It spoke through my conversations with friends holding Wharton MBAs and JDs, showing me that the race for success never really ends. It spoke through books like Four Thousand Weeks and Ego is the Enemy, which made me realize that my passion had been consumed by ego. I no longer grounded in reality. Walking away without a plan is terrifying, especially as an immigrant with little savings. But I feel honesty in myself, accepting that life is an unpredictable adventure. I feel confidence in myself, trusting who I am today, and trusting life to reveal the next step. I’m proud that I’ve held my standard, honored my values, and stood up for what I want. Ego can be stolen. Confidence must be earned. I’ve earned mine, through working on my technical skill, through the mental and physical resilience I built in my last jobless period. Fear still visits, but she’s an old acquaintance now. I know how to answer when she knocks. Some see my journey as a string of bad luck. One setback after another. I see it differently. Outright failure is far better than mediocre success. I’m glad I took the hit early, rather than dragging the weight with me for years. And strangely, in this moment of scarcity, I feel abundance. A 60-day visa countdown may look like a ticking bomb, but to me, it’s 60 days of freedom, to explore, to create, to advance. I don’t know what’s coming next. I don’t know where I’ll be. I’m from 1 to 0 again. But I do know this: a new door will open. And I genuinely believe.

I’ve been reaching out to a select few friends to cowork together on weekends just because I really enjoy working when other people are working (maybe this is why I love Hackathons) - DM me (if you are a friend) and want to cowork with me in SF on weekends. 🥰❤️
