I first met Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson in Singapore, shortly after they finished YC as the hottest startup of YC S20. Six years later, we finally got them on the podcast! This is their first podcast together, after taking an open-source, fully remote company from zero to a $10 billion valuation. The title is a…

Several midsize headlines today; on top of some impressive Math verification, Google Genie and Artificial Analysis and FrontierCode all shipped major version bumps of their top offerings, all of which have been AINews title stories in the past, but are mostly annual incremental improvements. Past guest Felix Reiseberg…

When we talk about working remotely , we take a lot of things for granted, especially reliable internet and power. But sometimes, working remotely means trying to get something done on a flight, during a long train ride, or somewhere with little or no network. I moved to the foothills of the Himalayas a year ago. I…

Today is one of those days that is tougher to cover for a normally-engineer audience that isn’t used to reading most S-1’s, let alone 350 pages of one of the most unusual S-1’s of all time: Better visualized: With significant operating leverage causing the first profitable quarter in Anthropic history (adjusted for…

AI agents are creating more software—and that changes what a backend needs to do. Supabase co-founders Paul Copplestone and Ant Wilson join swyx to discuss running long-lived workloads alongside the database, making schemas easier for agents to understand, and designing infrastructure for a world with many more…

2 months ago we covered Z.ai CEO Prof Jie Tang’s prediction that we’d get a Fable-class open weights model by year end. 2 weeks ago Meta achieved a Fable-class model in closed source, but, with 2.5 months left to go, we finally got it - a 2.8T open weights model beating Fable 5.1, not just Fable 5, at that: View post…

In May, an internal model at OpenAI found a counterexample to Erdős's unit distance conjecture. Open since 1946. Many experts had tried to prove it. OpenAI found a counterexample instead. A month later, OpenAI published a proof of the Cycle Double Cover (CDC) problem, then solutions to ten more open problems by July.…
