Co-hosted a dinner with @StellarOrg in NYC last week. Great to get the t-shirts and the suits in the same room. DeFi builders working on critical infrastructure sitting across from banks, consulting houses, compliance tooling teams, exchanges, and researchers — all breaking bread and talking about what they're actually building. Not "adopting blockchain" in the abstract. This was a table with precise conversations about first products, first use cases, first deployments. TradFi players have gotten very specific with what they want from crypto: these aren't exploratory conversations anymore. They know what they want to build, and they are looking for the right teams to partner with. Looking forward to a summer of releases from this group..!
At New York Tech Week, privacy was the main course and openness was the biggest ingredient 🍽️ Highlights from our privacy dinner and afterparty with @boundless_xyz, featuring the architects of enterprise-grade privacy solutions.
@connorchevli That is literally it! It’s not even 3D chess.. it’s old fashioned 2D chess. China plays long - it’s a pretty standard rule at this point. Which is always a good idea for stable nation states.
Hard disagree.. they are building enablers for their businesses. I feel like China is making a massive bet on their own companies to use this shared public good to leapfrog their western counterparts and own the next couple of decades. We compete by building better in the open for general use cases… not by closing off more foundational tech.

Fun fact: I helped build surge pricing for Grab in SE Asia.. (it has since migrated to up front pricing 🙏🙏) BUT - This was the customer support conversation all day.. all night. Followed by refunds. Model's billing without guardrails.. is the new surge pricing! 🙃
@mardehaym Sent over a full refund. Please let me know if it doesn’t show up on your end within a day or two. And sorry about this. As models work for longer, we’re adding additional spending controls to automatically catch cases where an agent runs much longer than intended.
Great team, awesome bunch of folks. Look forward to seeing what you do in agentic commerce @sylvechv 🫡

Most companies are run by CFOs and CIOs. No ROI.. no purchasing. There is massive ROI at a lower price point.. not at multiple thousands per employee.

@Shaughnessy119 @NousResearch How do you see the harnesses standing out? SF is currently home to a dozen or so startups with serious talent/money to build harnesses.
@Steve_Yegge 🤣🤣 Can’t wait to see VC raises for tokens only. I’m seeing the dev community fighting back though.
This is so true 🤣 Though will say there is a surge in the OS model space with clever usage of frontier and specialized models on harnesses to maxx out productivity at a fraction of the price - but it requires way too much tinkering atm. Huge opp for someone to step in.

At this rate, the first solo unicorn is going to have to be someone who was already a billionaire before they started, just to afford the tokens.
not how gdp - market cap works. but they are both in my portfolio.

.@ShashiTharoor is becoming India’s Idli brand ambassador. (A noble quest imo) I’ve started taking the trouble of using a stone grinder at home to get the fluffy texture.. it’s a lot of cleaning up. But definitely worth it.. especially to make sure my daughter enjoys them.

Oh, I see what you're doing here! Aside from provoking me, that is. I have to be honest: that idli looks a bit too solid and dense for my liking. And the discolouration in the pic is not very appetising. There’s something about a perfectly soft, snowy-white, fluffy idli that
Mostly accurate though 40% of the newish AI startups I talk to are building harnesses to make it easy for companies to manage this cost without any drop in productivity or UX. It’s all happening quickly and I don’t think CEOs will need to do anything except buy off the shelf.
Your margin is my opportunity: AI version… The biggest surprise of 2026 is that the capability gap between the best open-weight/source models and the best closed models has narrowed much faster than the pricing gap. The pricing gap remains enormous while the capability gap is
