I talked to a startup today that was already doing everything right. We're only three days into the new YC batch. How could they be doing everything right already? It turned out the founders had spent several years working for another YC startup and learned what to do there.

Announcment: we're joining YC, (X25)! We're building agents for law firms that integrate into the existing tools that they already use.

It’s crazy that traits people used to criticize me for my whole life are the exact ones people appreciate me for here in SF

We got billboards in SF! The AI billboards was probably the first thing we noticed when we came here and now we are happy to contribute to that. They were sponsored by YC because we won our group's demo competition! Thank you Garry Tan, Pete Koomen, and Tom Blomfield!

Amazing product demos that show off never-before-seen feats of design and engineering excellence are the way people distinguish their startups at YC— so much so that the winners of product showcase (as voted by their peers in the batch) get 1 mo of billboards along the 101 in SF

Sam Altman came back to YC yesterday evening to spend time with the winners of YC product showcase and give us his notes from the front of the techno-optimist abundance frontier. There’s so much to build. It’s all happening now.

Vesence is Cursor for Transactional Lawyers. They're building Agentic AI inside of Microsoft Office, turning Word into an IDE for contracts. Vesence is already live firm-wide with their first enterprise client, loved by both associates and partners. ycombinator.com/launches/NYo-v…

Just met Sam Altman and asked what LLM training might look like with trillions of tokens of context. His answer? “Just put the entire training dataset in the context window.” 🤯 Wdyt, should we keep pushing for longer contexts, even if human minds operate on seemingly short ones?

cubic (cubic) is Cursor for code review. An AI-native platform that helps teams like Cal.com, n8n, and the Linux Foundation ship code 28% faster. Congrats on the launch, @NeuralPaul and Allis Yao! ycombinator.com/launches/NYz-c…

whatever time you think it'll take, double it. then halve it because you have o3 and sonnet 4

Paul Graham invited me and Ludvig Swanstrom to meet with him a couple weeks ago, and tweeted about it right after. Tip: If you want to start a company one day, join the smartest founders you can find. That’s what I did with Anton Osika – eu/acc (Founder of Lovable) at the YC-startup

i took my gf to salesforce park as a joke… and she actually liked it? 💀

Cold emails now just look like: “{{ AI_personalization }}” Then: copy-pasted pitch. The ‘personalization’ adds zero value. Total noise.

Unexpected downside of vibe coding: that short pause after prompting is just long enough to break focus and invite distractions.
