I was a bit hesitant to believe the leaked DeepSeek investor call. Seemed almost too good to be true. This makes me a bit less skeptical. If it's real, Liang Wenfeng was incredibly detailed about working with Huawei, chip production bottlenecks, CUDA moat being broken, etc.

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

Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
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: personal
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.

Perhaps the most important thing everyone needs to know about China’s AI progress: At the most basic level, it’s about talent. And China has a deep talent pool of researchers who have been working on AI for a long time like Zai’s Tang Jie. t.co

Had been hearing rumors Xi would attend World AI Conference this year and that this is why the dates were finalized so late. Shows the significance China places on AI.

This is a really massive unauthorized distillation campaign. For comparison, reported from Anthropic: - DeepSeek: 150,000 exchanges - Moonshot: 3.4 million - MiniMax: 13 million - Alibaba: 28.8 million

Yao Shunyu: OpenAI -> Tencent Wu Yonghui: Google DeepMind -> ByteDance Luo Jianlan: Google DeepMind -> AgiBot Zhou Hao: Google DeepMind -> Alibaba Driven by a mix of US push and China pull factors. By @zijing_wu t.co

Why would top Chinese AI leaders admit so publicly that they’re falling behind the US due to computer constraints? One answer: they’re lobbying Beijing fiercely to get export controls lifted and allow purchases of more powerful Nvidia chips like the H200. t.co

This is one of the most compelling real-world use cases of AI I’ve seen yet: “Several of their CT scans had raised no alarms until they were flagged by the A.I. tool. ‘I think you can 100 percent say A.I. saved their lives,’ he said.”t.co
