we just fired you, again.
your replacement is a bird. it knows who Sofia is.
apparently she’s your client, you owe her a quarterly review invite, and “I’ll remember” was not a functioning task management system.
Tonebird remembers the people you talk to, tracks the promises buried in your conversations, and uses that context to help you reply in your own voice.
so when someone follows up, you can answer without conducting a full investigation into what past-you agreed to.
you keep the job.
the bird gets custody of your unfinished business.

she left @harvard surgery to build AI. she was told silicon valley would never accept her, that she would die under a bridge.
so she cold-messaged @KiteVC on linkedin because he backed canva early. he replied the next day and sent her to @SanghaCapital. one 90-minute call later, they were her first investors.
@larsras, co-founder of google maps, came in next. @amandaterry of @ACTAIVentures backed her at pre-seed. then @M13Company and @latifperacha led a $5M seed, with xAI co-founder @ChrSzegedy.
@heyrobynai just launched and ran out of invites on day one.
now her dad thinks they'll IPO in three years.

Drop 1/15: Introducing Joy, a dual-channel conversational dataset.
Real, unscripted conversations between two people, each on their own track. Built to teach voice models how people actually talk: when to listen, when to jump in, when to say “hmm”.
100,000 hours.
50,000 speakers.
10 languages.

More and more, image models get ranked by human vote. A vote can miss that your font changed.
Today @DavidZats and I are releasing VybBench, an open benchmark that scores design fidelity with numbers instead of votes. Ask a model to change one headline and it can nudge your font, shift your blue and redraw a corner of your logo too. Each edit changes a little more, until the design isn't yours.
VybBench scores each piece:
145 fonts, matched pixel by pixel against the real font
100 hex codes, scored on how far each color drifts
200 small edits, scored on how many pixels changed, with a judge checking the edit was made
We are not including model scores in the post, but you can see how each model scores on the Hugging Face. Every prompt, output, judge verdict and the scorer is on Hugging Face, link in the reply.
Full Disclosure: At @cocoailabs we also build Vyb - our first design model built to preserve design fidelity and taste.

I hired a retention researcher and gave him 12 brands to look at.
One request: please come back with something better than "send them 15% off."
His name is Viktor. He's an AI employee, and I gave him the assignment in Slack.
I wanted to understand what brands were doing to give customers a reason to buy again. Refill flexibility, product education, guarantees, something beyond another coupon with a countdown timer.
He came back in about 10 minutes with a Second Order Library and three experiments to consider. Saved 10+ hours of doing the same research myself.
• A replenishment reminder based on when someone should actually run out.
• A guarantee that makes trying a second product feel less risky.
• A specific gift on order two, introduced while the customer is still excited about order one.
Each proposal included who should get it, what to compare it against, and what to measure, with margin called out where it could bite. We do enjoy keeping some of the money.
The part I appreciated: he separated what he found on brand websites from what he thought we should test. He also flagged what he couldn't verify.
Seeing another brand do something doesn't mean it works. It gives you a hypothesis.
Now I have three test plans to evaluate and the research behind them, in one place.
Not bad for a morning's work.
If you have a research backlog of your own, hire @viktor_com for your team. Free to start, no credit card.

What happens when a stage play meets AI filmmaking? 🎬

I launched the first image and video generation models at Google, and kept asking why all AI designs look the same.
AI has brought us the WORST era of design.
It made content creation effortless, but it also made 90% of it look painfully generic.
My co-founder and I spent 2 years building in stealth to change that.
Meet Vyb, the first AI design model that understands your taste like a designer would.
RT + comment your website URL and we’ll make your first design.

Inworld is your new favorite inference provider.
We already process tens of trillions of tokens a month because we understand consumer AI different, and we've built our inference from the ground up for it.
Today, the inference top consumer AI apps run on is opening up.

A new open-weight model ships every couple of days, and post-training lets any team turn a base model into its own.
So will teams run more models or fewer a year from now? OpenRouter's Peter Walker moderates RadixArk, Liquid AI and MiniMax on exactly that at DigitalOcean's Open Intelligence Summit today, Serve track from 2:15pm PT.
My bet is more models, each smaller and doing one job, because teams want to swap a model in without rebuilding everything around it.
Where do you land?

Ask anyone what the hardest part of learning a language was. Most will say speaking, because it always needed a person on the other side.
That just changed. Here's what it means for learners, teachers, schools and the teams building for them.

I mapped 10K founders and indie hackers across 143 countries.
▎ Building alone is lonely.
▎ Finding founders in your domain is even harder.
▎ And every "let's connect" thread on X dies in a week.
So I built a place where builders can actually find each other.
Startups are hard. You don't have to do it alone.
@tibo_maker already gave me feedback: “The video is pretty good honestly.” That’s huge validation from a legend!
another legend @marclou I need your support! I want to add the TrustMRR APIs to this project btw I’m already using your data analysis platform for this project.
