Very cool new project: Hivemind is the auto-learning brain shared between all your agents.
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.

Superhuman intelligence is already here, it's just not evenly distributed.

Now that frontier models are great at writing tasks (including writing code), next we will see them rapidly improve on a number of highly specialized tasks that require deep domain expertise. We went from 0% to 52% on Frontier Math in < 2 years and we'll accelerate from here.

I'm still not sold on the idea that these single uber models that are experts at everything will be the winning architecture long-term. They are very expensive to run and it seems that everyone is hitting capacity limits right now with no end in sight.

These are 100% real concepts that were coming out of Detroit during the Space Age days We were so close to (now) seemingly unreachable levels of American excellence

2026 will be remembered as the year when open weight models reached parity
China just open-sourced a trillion-parameter model that burns fewer tokens than your favorite "efficient" US model. Ling-2.6-1T is now public, inspectable, and benchmarkable. The closed-model moat just got smaller.

When future historians write about Silicon Valley, they’ll have an entire chapter dedicated to the Ron Conway way: how he turned generosity, warmth, and showing up for founders into a winning strategy.
"Ron discovered how to be the investor of the future by accident. He didn't foresee the future of startup investing, realize it would pay to be upstanding, and force himself to behave that way. It would feel unnatural to him to behave any other way." paulgraham.com/ronco.html

The rollout process that @AnthropicAI is using for Mythos will become the industry standard for frontier models. It's similar to the responsible disclosure process that's been a standard for a long time.

current UX pet peeve: forcing me to enter a code from an email instead of allowing me to use my password. Looking at you @OpenTable

What could possibly go wrong
China is testing EVs that eject their batteries in emergencies in order to promote driver safety.

I'm glad you did and that your family is ok. Always good to connect on a human level, especially during times of high tension.

Every security flaw discovered by AI was there before AI, waiting to be discovered either by people or by AI. The world has never been good at securing computer systems; finally with AI we are going to get good.

35 years after throwing off the yoke of Communism, Poland becomes the world's 20th largest economy. The warmth of capitalism is lifting an entire nation out of poverty. apnews.com/article/poland-ec…

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

Anyone can get a glucose monitor which pokes a needle in your arm, without a prescription. But you can't buy contact lenses without a prescription. Optometrists must have the A team of lobbyists.

Bravo. It takes special skills to spend the most amount of money and produce the worst results.
The State of California has been run top to bottom by one party since 2011. Here are their results: 1) highest state income tax 2) highest rate of poverty 3) highest rate of unemployment 4) highest rate of homelessness 5) highest energy costs Hard to explain this away.
