Building durable Agents with Workflow DevKit & AI SDK - Peter Wielander, Vercel

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Transition: We are moving from "fire-and-forget" prompts to durable execution environments where state is as important as the model itself.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Wrap your existing tool calls in the `useStep` function to gain instant retry logic and execution history.
  3. The Bottom Line: Reliability is the primary moat in the agent market. Builders who adopt durable workflows will move to production while others are still debugging local scripts.

Build a Prompt Learning Loop - SallyAnn DeLucia & Fuad Ali, Arize

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The move from manual prompt engineering to automated prompt learning. As models become commodities, the proprietary loop that refines them becomes the moat.
  2. Implement a Train-Test Split for your prompts. Use a subset of failure data to generate new rules and validate them against a separate holdout set to ensure the logic holds.
  3. Reliability is the only metric that matters for agent adoption. If you are not using a feedback loop to update your system instructions, you are building on sand.

The Netflix Culture Code That Changed Entertainment Forever | Reed Hastings Interview

Invest Like The Best

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The move from industrial management to creative inspiration. As AI automates routine tasks, the only remaining value is high-variance human creativity.
  2. Apply the Keeper Test today. Ask your leads which team members they would fight for and provide generous exits for the rest to reset your talent bar.
  3. Scaling doesn't require more rules. It requires better people. If you can maintain talent density, you can run fast while your competitors choke on their own handbooks.

Welcome to AIE CODE - Jed Borovik, Google DeepMind

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from general-purpose LLMs to specialized coding agents that operate on the entire codebase rather than isolated snippets.
  2. Audit your current stack for agentic readiness. Prioritize tools that integrate with Gemini 3 or similar high-reasoning models to automate repetitive pull requests.
  3. Code is the substrate of the digital world. If you control the means of AI code generation, you control the speed of innovation for every other industry.

Claude Agent SDK [Full Workshop] — Thariq Shihipar, Anthropic

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The industry is moving from "Chat-as-Interface" to "Computer-as-Interface" where models operate directly on file systems.
  2. Replace your complex list of fifty tools with a single Bash tool and a secure sandbox.
  3. The winners in the agent race will not build the best prompts. They will build the best infrastructure for models to execute code.

Infinity, Paradoxes, Gödel Incompleteness & the Mathematical Multiverse | Lex Fridman Podcast #488

Lex Fridman

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The move from a singular "Universe" view to a "Multiverse" perspective mirrors the transition from centralized monoliths to fragmented, interoperable ecosystems.
  2. Build systems that fail gracefully when hitting Gödelian limits.
  3. Truth is a vast ocean while proof is a small boat. Your roadmap must account for the reality that your system will eventually encounter truths it cannot verify.

AI in 2026: 3 Predictions For What’s To Come (a16z Big Ideas)

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Pivot: Outcome-Based Intelligence. We are moving from AI as a Service to Results as a Service where software value is tied to revenue generation rather than seat licenses.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Verticalize the Data. Build in sectors with non-public outcome data to create a compounding moat that resists commoditization by foundation models.
  3. The winners of 2026 will be those who use AI to solve core human needs for connection and discovery while building defensible, data-rich business models.

AutoGrad Changed Everything (Not Transformers) [Dr. Jeff Beck]

Machine Learning Street Talk

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Transition: Moving from "Big Model" monoliths to "Lots of Little Models" where distributed Bayesian assets represent specific physical objects.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Prioritize "Object-Centered" architectures that track uncertainty. This allows robots to "phone a friend" when encountering novel data.
  3. The LLM era is hitting a wall of implicit representation. The next 12 months belong to those building explicit, causal world models grounded in physics rather than language.

[State of Post-Training] From GPT-4.1 to 5.1: RLVR, Agent & Token Efficiency — Josh McGrath, OpenAI

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The move from "bigger is better" to "smarter is cheaper" as token efficiency becomes the primary metric for agentic success.
  2. Prioritize building on models that demonstrate high performance on "graph walk" evals to ensure your long-context applications actually work.
  3. Utilitarian and efficient models that prioritize task completion over cheery personality will dominate the developer market.

Are Meme Coins Really Dead? | Weekly Roundup

Lightspeed

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Meme Coins Persist:** Pump.fun's combined volume nears ATHs post-Pump Swap launch; the game evolves, integrating social features (Zora) and platform revenue sharing, rather than disappearing.
  2. **Fees Aren't Everything:** Tron's high network fees mask an application-light ecosystem heavily reliant on CEX USDT flows, unlike Solana's more balanced app/chain fee structure.
  3. **Stablecoin Yield Ban Reshapes Market:** No native yield benefits incumbent issuers (Circle/Tether) and potentially DeFi, pushing yield generation to adjacent protocols and complicating the 'stablecoins fund US debt' narrative.

How Zora is Redefining the Creator Economy | Jacob Horne

Bell Curve

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Zora is pioneering a shift from illiquid NFTs to fungible content coins, creating liquid markets around individual pieces of online media. This model aims to empower the long tail of creators and build a more open, composable, and value-aligned internet economy beyond ads and subscriptions.
  2. **Content is Fungible:** The market realized many NFTs were traded fungibly; coins offer a more efficient market structure for most online content.
  3. **Attention Markets Emerge:** Crypto enables open markets to price the attention and cultural relevance of content, moving beyond ad exchanges.
  4. **Simplified Creator Monetization:** Zora provides tools for creators to easily tokenize content and earn directly via integrated market mechanisms (LP fees), often surpassing earnings on traditional platforms.

Why Stablecoins Are Crypto's Biggest Opportunity | Charlie Noyes & Bam Azizi

Empire

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Infrastructure is the Play: With issuer economics concentrated and competition fierce, the real opportunity lies in building the "picks and shovels" – APIs, UX layers, and interoperability solutions (like Mesh) – that make stablecoins usable at scale.
  2. Fragmentation is Inevitable (and an Opportunity): Expect a proliferation of stablecoins from banks, fintechs, and others. This increases complexity but creates demand for aggregators and middleware that simplify the ecosystem.
  3. Regulation Unlocks Institutions: Clearer regulations are the primary catalyst needed for risk-averse institutions to embrace stablecoins, potentially triggering a wave of adoption akin to cloud migration.

GameStop Goes Full Saylor: Bitcoin or Bust, Lads?

blocmates.

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **Debt-Fueled Gamble:** GameStop's $1.3B Bitcoin buy using convertible bonds is a high-risk bet entirely dependent on BTC price appreciation for success and debt repayment.
  2. **Stock Price Over Operations:** The primary goal seems to be inflating the stock price via Bitcoin exposure, rather than fixing the underlying retail business.
  3. **Saylor Strategy Goes Mainstream:** This move signals the "Saylor Strategy" is spreading, potentially pushing more non-tech companies towards Bitcoin treasury reserves, amplifying both adoption and systemic risk.

Finding Successful Investments

The Rollup

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Bet on Established Networks or Speculate on Potential: Choose Bitcoin/Ethereum for proven network effects or new L1s/L2s/Meme Coins for higher-risk, potential-driven bets.
  2. Community is the First Utility: Strong communities are the initial network effect in web3; projects building utility (games, L2s) on this base signal deepening value.
  3. Meme Coins Evolve: Watch for meme communities launching games or infrastructure (L2s/L3s) as a sign of longevity and network effect expansion.
