Update! I'm excited to share that I'm teaming up with Perplexity as their first creative ambassador! I'll be creating artwork that explores what it means to be curious and explore new ideas. Can't wait to show you what we make together! ✨

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a new open standard for connecting LLMs to tools, data, and dev environments Anthropic invited 100+ developers to SF to see what we could build in only 3 hours. Here’s what we saw at the Anthropic MCP Hackathon (🧵):

Ayo not the quantussy 😩⚛️

google just dropped an ai that basically takes over chrome and handles stuff for you. it’s scoring 90.5% on webvoyager (think: “book a flight sf to berlin, march 5–12” type tasks) using tree search. the era of mainstream autonomous agents is officially here.

the Perplexity office is looking festive 🎄 btw, working on something pretty cool for the past month - more info to come!

Oh Gary, how could you do this to me? 🥹

machine intelligence meets machine autonomy. together, they create intelligent autonomy. it’s like giving machines a trait only humans had before. when these two click, we’re not just humanity anymore; we’re sharing the room with equals.

why are companies all killing their api's it's free advertising, you get devs to work on your products for free and the costs are very low. people are gonna scrape your data regardless. let devs have fun!!

sam altman knows how to play the game - hype, polish, keep the crowd fed. but come on, a whole live-stream for search and AVM updates? feels like patch notes territory. meanwhile, deepmind quietly drops veo 2, and suddenly sora’s looking slow. google’s eating openai’s lunch.

😍

total order value on Perplexity is closing in on half a million dollars in under four weeks. a new era of AI-driven commerce.

Our Copilot extensions are third-party agents designed for every day tasks. The Perplexity agent is particularly bad ass. And now they are free. github.com/features/copil…

the Perplexity merch details matter 🤝

building a framework where moods aren’t just outputs, but dynamic states resolved through multi-agent swarms. each agent competes, collaborates, and negotiates to dominate the emotional landscape. the result isn’t static - it’s emergent, fluid, and alive.

YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE
