Have to give it to OAI. OAI is playing the hyperscalers like they are the startup in this relationship. The week after $MSFT loses the “right of first refusal” OAI goes to its biggest competitor AWS $AMZN to sign a deal.

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.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams

Memory price hikes have finally started hitting Apple. Today, they raised some base prices: Macbook Neo: $599 -> $699 Macbook Air: $1099 -> $1299 Macbook Pro: $1699 -> $1999 Mac Studio: $1999 -> $2499 iPad Air $599 - $749 iPad Pro: $999 -> $1199

Ok, THIS is wild, never expected anything like this: Uber exited Nigeria… no warning, just shut down the app, on the spot. When riders were mid-trip ?!! This is what a startup that just went bankrupt would do, not a $150B corporation. Uber operated in Nigeria since 2014 (!!)

Reviving this account to say: Almost everyone at Vimeo was laid off yesterday, including the entire video team. If you're looking for talented engineers, there are a few on the market. Sucks to see something I built killed by private equity in a technology company skin suit.

I am joining @ylecun and an exceptional founding team to lead @amilabs as CEO. We have secured a $1.03 billion USD seed round to fuel our mission to build intelligent systems capable of truly understanding the real world—a long-term scientific endeavor.

Fable one-shotted a Rust rewrite of the TerminalTextEffects Python library in 11M tokens. Startup time went from 87ms to 2ms and rendering speed is up by 9.6x. Now zero dependencies and a 3mb single exec 🤯 t.co

It's objectively funny to see DeepSeek — an open source, high performing AI model trained by a Chinese startup for less than $6 million — wipe $1 trillion off tech stocks only days after Trump, OpenAI, and SoftBank announce their $500 billion Stargate boondoggle.

$GOOGL a monster cloud number: Google cloud revenue +82% YoY, big acceleration But even more valuable is the MARGIN. Cloud margin up from about 21% to about 36%. The compute shortage is gift to hyperscalers.

$META cutting 10% of the workforce (8.000 roles) and eliminating 6.000 open positions. This will happen across the board in the tech sector and more broadly in knowledge work, Zuck is as always just ahead of the pack. Companies are switch labour costs for AI compute.

After listening to Anthropic’s Dario on the Dwarkesh pod made me realize that a BIG factor of the sucess of an AI lab will be determined by the lab’s abillity to predict their short term compute demand. Underestimate and you lose market share. Overestimate and you go bankrupt.

$AMZN AWS +24% (fastest growth in 13 quarters). Great growth but as the market is short sightet right now CapEx “the problem” again. $AMZN sees CapEx at $200B (est $146B)

$GOOGL is a company that doesn’t do hype. For them to go and increase CapEx from $90B to $180B is probably the most bullish thing long-term investors can see as it shows the scale of future revenue growth. I am shocked that at this stage most still don’t understand this.

$NVDA is buying Groq for $20B. Had $META on the bingo card not $NVDA. Big congrats to the Groq team and my friend @sundeep !
