ABCs for Building The Future

We feature founders, entrepreneurs, researchers, scientists, and builders interested in building a better future together. People doing big things with big stories to tell, from the frontlines.

I sat down with my co-founder Jonathan to report from the front lines. The whole industry backed an $18 trillion letter defending open-weight models, then Anthropic refused to sign, and Dario explained why.
We get into Jensen Huang’s first ever tweets, the Hugging Face breach (the first case of a lab losing control of its own model), Dario’s three real levers, and whether open models like Kimi make GPT-7 pointless.
Then the meta: the new full-duplex ChatGPT voice, a live demo of our Clarity Aligned harness, and Jack Dorsey’s Buzz, a Slack and GitHub killer built for AI agents.
