DeepSeek being open source means that developers can now access R1 hosted on the three major clouds in the US and multiple US inference providers. The cost of inference is on average 80%+ less than OpenAI on a per token basis. And even lower if willing to commit spend.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: People building with AI

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. More details soon.

For those confused why the US state and Silicon Valley are having a meltdown on twitter today. China released multiple AI models that are 50x more efficient than the best American AI models and made them open source, ruining the AI market

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy! Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

This implies that OpenAI has potentially caught up with Anthropic in terms of run rate revenue. If so, it will serve as yet another case study in the history of software that platforms that compete with their ecosystem of customers will push their customers to competitors.

Thrilled to announce our investment in Starcloud. From our initial investment to a $1.1B valuation, this extraordinary engineering team continues to make remarkable breakthroughs in power, cooling, and manufacturing. Their technical rigor and ambition is truly exceptional!

A remarkable team building a remarkable AI application. They've set a new speed record for $0 to $100M ARR in 8 months. They are not only the best technical team in Singapore, but one of the best in the world. Thrilled to have backed this sensational group of people pre-launch.

DeepSeek being open source/ open weights means that developers in the US can get access to DeepSeek R1 inference from American inference providers today at <$10 per 1M tokens or self host, fine tune, etc if they require. It's hugely beneficial for developers.

Fascinating call out by Microsoft yesterday to say that AI is moving from GPUs to "AI Accelerators with Tensors" Seems like a clear indication by Microsoft that they're shifting to optimizing around a new paradigm of test-time/ inference
