OpenAI + @Temporalio : Building Durable, Production Ready Agents - Cornelia Davis, Temporal

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The industry is moving from "Agent as a Script" to "Agent as a Durable Service" where state management is handled by the infrastructure.
  2. Wrap your existing API tools in the `activity_as_tool` function to gain automatic retries and execution history.
  3. Reliability is the only moat in the agentic economy. If your agent cannot survive a server restart during a three-day task, it is not ready for the enterprise.

How Ladder Became #1 Strength Training App

Invest Like The Best

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Trend: The move from fragmented content libraries to integrated health systems where AI synthesizes biomarkers and movement.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Construct internal LLM tools to categorize qualitative feedback. This turns thousands of raw reviews into a precise roadmap.
  3. The Bottom Line: Building a $100M ARR consumer app requires mastery of both growth loops and product retention. Solve for the daily habit to win the long game.

Ben Horowitz on Investing in AI: AI Bubbles, Economic Impact, and VC Acceleration

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from general-purpose AI to specialized application layers. As foundation models commoditize, value migrates to the "fat tail" of human-centric complexity.
  2. Prioritize building or investing in "DNA of the future" companies that incumbents must eventually acquire to survive. Focus on winning the "point of attack" by staying deep in the technical details.
  3. We are in a unique market where demand growth justifies high valuations. Success over the next year depends on identifying founders who are the absolute best in the world at one specific thing.

It's Time To Build

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Infrastructure Invisibility. As core technologies become background noise, value moves from the pipes to the unique experiences built on top of them.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Reject Mediocrity. Audit your product for average features and replace them with high-conviction improvements that competitors are too lazy to attempt.
  3. The Bottom Line: Building is the only way to ensure the future happens. If you do not create the next version of reality, you are stuck living in an outdated vision.

Nothing’s Carl Pei on Building a $1B Smartphone Company and Why He Thinks About Death Every Week

The Generalist

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from hardware specs to emotional hardware where brand identity and OS-native AI become the primary moats.
  2. Prioritize arbitrage opportunities in marketing by finding underpriced attention on platforms like TikTok before they become crowded.
  3. Success in mature markets requires a Genghis Khan method: be a talent scout, stay open-minded to global supply chains, and use design to win the emotional battle for the consumer's pocket.

Nvidia CES 2026

Semi Doped

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from centralized cloud training to distributed local inference creates a massive demand for high-bandwidth storage and custom CPUs.
  2. Audit your technical roadmap to prioritize local agentic workflows that reduce latency and data privacy risks.
  3. The next 12 months will favor hardware that enables physical AI and local autonomy. Owning the compute stack is becoming a competitive necessity for builders who want to move faster than the cloud allows.

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from "vibe coding" to "spec-driven" engineering.
  2. Implement EARS-formatted requirements in your AI prompts.
  3. Determinism is the ultimate feature for AI-assisted development.

Post-training best-in-class models in 2025

Weights & Biases

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Intelligence is decoupling from scale. As reasoning becomes a commodity, the value moves from the size of the model to the proprietary nature of the training data.
  2. Use TRL or Unsloth for single-GPU fine-tuning. Prioritize cleaning your instruction sets over increasing your training iterations.
  3. The future belongs to those who own their data pipelines. If you can distill elite reasoning into a 350M parameter model, you win on latency, cost, and privacy.

Intelligent Robots in 2026: Are We There Yet? [Nikita Rudin] - 760

The TWIML AI Podcast with Sam Charrington

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Moving from Blind Locomotion to Semantic Navigation defines the next frontier.
  2. Prioritize modular architectures that use off-the-shelf VLMs for task orchestration.
  3. Expect the first value-positive humanoid deployments in late 2026.

LIVE: Gold vs. Bitcoin & MoltBook | 0xResearch

0xResearch

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty are driving a global re-allocation of capital, with Eastern wealth increasingly favoring hard assets and localized crypto rails. This challenges Western-centric market analysis and demands a broader, more nuanced view of global finance.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Cultivate deep domain expertise and critical thinking, using AI as an amplification tool, not a replacement for learning. Focus on areas where human judgment, taste, and the ability to translate AI insights into real-world value remain irreplaceable.
  3. The Bottom Line: The next 6-12 months will see continued divergence in global capital flows and accelerating AI integration. Investors must track opaque Eastern market signals, while builders should prioritize AI applications that augment human capability rather than simply automate, ensuring their skills remain relevant in an increasingly AI-driven world.

The Fed Is Background Noise While Markets Reprice Reality | Weekly Roundup

Forward Guidance

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Shift: Monetary Escapism: As fiat debases and geopolitical tensions rise, capital is rotating from traditional tech to hard-capped assets and AI infrastructure.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Reallocate Capital: Prioritize real assets and cyclical commodities (gold, silver, oil, copper) while selectively shorting overvalued software companies facing AI disruption and increasing capital expenditures.
  3. The Bottom Line: The market is re-pricing value based on true scarcity and capital intensity. Position for a volatile environment where traditional narratives fail, and tangible assets or essential AI infrastructure dictate returns.
