Important work from @SwordHealth and @VSwordH on how we evaluate AI for mental health. MindEval is a new multi turn benchmark that tests how models behave across full therapy like conversations, not just single replies. Much needed, rigorous, and open source.
Thanks to innovations such as Agentic AI, this year's technological developments point to a future in which technology will be more adaptable, collaborative and fundamental to solving global problems.

In a recent episode of #TheScienceOfScaling , I interview Ron Gabrisko , the Founding #CRO of Databricks . He has scaled Databricks over a nine-year period (so far) from essentially $0 to $2.5 billion in ARR. Here are a few...
tomorrow I'm putting on a live event with Snapchat (and Snap advertisers) to talk all things Snap ads, Snap creator network, and what works to drive incremental reach on the channel. learn how the best performance marketers are leveraging Snap —...
Every product mistake has the same root. Nobody stopped to study how customers explain their world.
Branding is definitely a big deal in B2B, even moreso for optimizing visibility in AI searches. Great conversation here between two outstanding #B2Bmarketing minds, @leeodden and @RishiPDave .
Execution problems are often culture problems in disguise. If a team moves slowly, it is usually because people stop trusting the process, not because they lack skill.
Just got some new data showing that YouTube gets ~2X more searches than ChatGPT gets prompt sessions, so... Maybe search marketers should put 2X as much energy into that? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (publishing hopefully next week)
We deployed 20+ AI agents & replaced our entire SDR team. 60K hyper-personalized emails. 70% open rates on ghosted leads. 15% of London ticket revenue from AI alone. The 5 things that actually work: 1⃣AI crushes the work humans refuse to do...
84% use AI, but only 22% trust it. LeapSpace adds transparency with referenced answers and Trust Cards. Curated by experts, including peer reviewers, Scopus CSAB and a new independent AI Advisory Board. Shows steps in real time. More in early...

check out this chart -- the majority of seed rounds go to startups in SF and NY (and really, mostly SF) (we'll be dropping a report on "the state of seed" from Carta tomorrow on our official substack) But it's data like...
You can learn more about what to build by studying how customers explain their own problems than by running another sprint.
I'm seeing a range of new companies that were trained on very specific people. Those with taste. And taste could mean a dentist that does the best work, if you are building a system for them (I put up a video a...
Version 1 is about making the most aerodynamic object you can. Eliminating all the little things that create drag. If your software was physical, how would it look in a wind tunnel? What would obviously be sticking out, ruining the...

It is clear to me now that there are a range of new companies, like @agiopen_org that I put up this morning, and Scouts here, among others, that are making AI Agents far more capable than they have been. Major trend...

Here’s a goldmine of LLM notebooks and it goes way beyond basic fine-tuning 🤯 Auto evals, lazy merges, Franken MoEs, uncensoring techniques… real wizard-level tooling. Built by @maximelabonne and @iusztinpaul, authors of the excellent LLM Engineer’s Handbook. Repo in 🧵↓ https://t.co/VKT8uJpQwe
nanoGPT - the first LLM to train and inference in space 🥹. It begins.
Google updated its core updates documentation to say smaller core updates happen on an ongoing basis, so sites can improve without waiting for named updates. https://t.co/MD7IrswbMk via @MattGSouthern, @sejournal That explains why rankings often look like a yo-yo.🤔
Quick new post: Auto-grading decade-old Hacker News discussions with hindsight I took all the 930 frontpage Hacker News article+discussion of December 2015 and asked the GPT 5.1 Thinking API to do an in-hindsight analysis to identify the most/least prescient comments. This...
What’s the biggest barrier keeping AI from doing real work in the enterprise? I asked Rohan Vora at @glean in CXO Spice. We talked about: ✅ Why autonomy needs more than models ✅ How enterprise context unlocks outcomes ✅ Orchestrating across complex systems AI isn’t...
SaaS companies serving the SMB space are often overlooked as potential investment opportunities because, when compared to enterprise SaaS providers, these companies tend to have higher churn and less well-known (or even unknown) customers. Despite these relative weaknesses, if positioned...

🚨 New ChatGPT feature: group collaboration. Announced a few weeks ago and haven’t seen it in my feed yet. I really do think 2026 will be the year of the AI teammate. https://t.co/9mUDwJbuQz
Friendly reminder that if you build a great product with zero marketing customers will not just randomly find your startup.
If you listen closely enough, the market will outline your product for you. Most teams only start listening after it is too late.
This is absolutely one of the craziest things that we have ever shipped. You can use rollouts to A/B test your new idea and wait some weeks for results… or just use SimGym to simulate your customer and get results...
Microservices is the software industry’s most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are “thinking big” while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if you’re not running a constellation of...

Okay mom, here’s your moment. For everyone else - here’s what this really means. USA Today named me one of the “business leaders to follow” in 2026. It’s a nice headline, and yes, my mom is already sending it to...
This is one of the cleanest explanations I’ve seen of how ChatGPT’s memory actually works. No RAG. No vector search. Just a layered context system that feels personal without the overhead. Anyone building serious AI products should read this.
Most consultants hide their shortcomings. Here’s mine: I ask too many questions. Like way too many. If you’ve ever worked with me, you know: “Why?” “Why now?” “What did the customer actually say?” “What were they feeling?” “What happened right...

Most marketers are pressured to "do more with less". But 99% of them struggle with: - Unrealistic 10x growth expectations - Lack of trust from overpromising & underdelivering - Focusing on deliverables, not business impact Teams get stuck chasing big...
If you're still using 2024 marketing tactics, you're already falling behind. Search is fragmenting across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, ChatGPT, and even browsers. AI is reshaping discovery, targeting, and the entire customer journey. And in this video, I breaks down the...
Not all clients are created equal. When a new offer comes in, your instinct is to say yes—because paid work is paid work, right? Wrong. Before you rush into anything, especially a longer fractional engagement that could make or break...
I had an interesting conversation with our newly minted product leader, Scott P. , last night around KPIs for product marketing and product. I'd love your take. Product Marketing is the steward of the pipeline number associated with their product....
We just helped a founder get acquired for $1,650,000 on @acquiredotcom. Business was a bootstrapped SaaS. Multiple 4.8x profit. Took about 85 days from listing to close. 100% cash at closing. This was a life changing outcome for an amazing entrepreneur. https://t.co/zI8Ght5LNS

I used to be terrified of reading research papers... until I learned this 👇 The first time I opened one, I thought: “There’s no way I can read this.” Too formal, too technical, too many acronyms - and English wasn’t even my first language. But...

Look at marketing's impact on messages. More than 50% of the people have deleted important messages because they thought they were "advertising". The key with messages, whether promotional or not, is to add as much value as possible so people don't delete...
We turned off email confirmation. Now users can sign up and get started straight away. Why? Here's what the email confirmation step really adds: - Friction when users are hot. - Extra support requests. - A bad first experience. And the thing is... ❌ It's completely unnecessary. Instead: - Just...
