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.

Automating Large Scale Refactors with Parallel Agents - Robert Brennan, AllHands

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Software maintenance is moving from a manual craft to an industrial process. As agents handle the toil of migrations and security, human engineers will focus entirely on high-level system design.
  2. Batch by Dependency. Use the OpenHands SDK to visualize your codebase as a graph and deploy agents to solve the leaf nodes first.
  3. Companies that master agent orchestration will clear their tech debt backlogs in weeks instead of years, creating a massive competitive advantage in product velocity.

DSPy: The End of Prompt Engineering - Kevin Madura, AlixPartners

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Macro Trend: Software is moving from imperative instructions to declarative goals.
  2. The Tactical Edge: Port your most expensive GPT-4 prompts to DSPy signatures and run them through a BootstrapFewShot optimizer.
  3. The Bottom Line: Brittle prompts are the new technical debt. Building with a declarative framework ensures your system improves as models get cheaper.

Spec-Driven Development: Sharpening your AI toolbox - Al Harris, Amazon Kiro

AI Engineer

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. We are moving from probabilistic prompting to neurosymbolic reasoning where the LLM is a component of a larger structured system.
  2. Install MCP servers for your specific documentation and task trackers. Ground your agent in reality to reduce the manual verification loop.
  3. Engineering rigor is returning to the AI era. Builders who adopt structured workflows will outpace those stuck in the "prompt and pray" cycle.

AI, markets, and power: A conversation with Paul Krugman

Azeem Azhar

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Capital is replacing labor as the primary driver of productivity.
  2. Prioritize investments in incumbents with massive distribution or lean startups that swap payroll for compute.
  3. The US remains the primary engine of growth but the internal divide between tech hubs and the hinterland will widen as AI concentrates wealth.

Artificial Analysis: The Independent LLM Analysis House — with George Cameron and Micah Hill-Smith

Latent Space

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The decoupling of parameter count from active compute via sparsity means intelligence is becoming a software optimization problem as much as a hardware one.
  2. Audit your agentic workflows for turn efficiency rather than just cost per token.
  3. In a world of infinite tokens, the winner is the one who can verify the truth the fastest.

Marc Andreessen's 2026 Outlook: AI Timelines, US vs. China, and The Price of AI

a16z

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. The transition from "adding machines" to "human cognition" models is an 80-year correction finally hitting the vertical part of the S-curve.
  2. Prioritize application-specific models that backward-integrate into the stack.
  3. AI is a physical and digital build-out that will define the next decade of global power.

Is the Crypto Bull Market Over? Gold All-Time Highs, Crypto Whipsaws: Are We Topping or Resetting?

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Leverage is the market's double-edged sword. The $19B flash crash was a cascade failure driven by leverage, not fundamentals. It exposed the fragility of perpetual exchanges and the critical risk of Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) even for sophisticated traders.
  2. Wall Street is tokenizing everything. Larry Fink and BlackRock are building the operating system to move trillions in traditional assets on-chain. This isn't a speculative bet; it's a core strategy to capture a massive, untapped global market.
  3. Infrastructure is maturing, but risks are shifting. While core DeFi protocols proved bulletproof under stress, centralized exchanges and their oracle dependencies remain a systemic weak point, as shown by Binance's API failures and the resulting market chaos.

Crypto Has Topped.

Taiki Maeda

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Altcoins Are Cooked. A decimated retail buyer base combined with relentless selling pressure from insider token unlocks creates a structurally bearish environment for the entire altcoin complex.
  2. Farm, Don't Buy. Stop being exit liquidity. The winning strategy is to farm airdrops to acquire tokens for free and become the one who sells at launch.
  3. Capital Preservation is King. The "one more 2x" mentality is a trap. Protect your gains by holding significant stablecoin reserves and acting quickly to de-risk. Take care of the downside, and the upside will take care of itself.

Global Liquidity Cycle & the Worldwide Rush Into Hard Assets | Weekly Roundup

Forward Guidance

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Hard Assets Are The Only Exit. Governments must monetize their staggering debt, making monetary inflation hedges like gold and crypto essential. Gold’s recent surge is the canary in the coal mine, signaling a major catch-up move for Bitcoin is imminent.
  2. Forget the Trade War; Watch the Capital War. The real global conflict is financial. The US is building its future on digital dollars (stablecoins), while China is anchoring its system to gold. This divergence will define capital flows for the next decade.
  3. The Bitcoin 4-Year Cycle Is Dead. Treat Bitcoin as a global macro asset driven by liquidity and its relationship with gold. Its recent price consolidation is a sign of distribution from old hands to new institutional players, setting the stage for its next major move.

Kyle Samani Thinks Solana Will Overtake Bitcoin and ETH

The DCo Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Utility Trumps Scarcity: The most valuable crypto asset will be the one powering the most economic activity, not simply the one with the most predictable supply.
  2. Solana’s Technical Roadmap is Key: A future state with multiple concurrent block producers will give Solana a decisive advantage in censorship resistance and performance over its rivals.
  3. Bet on SOL to Flip BTC: Samani’s core investment thesis is that as Solana’s real-world adoption becomes undeniable over the next decade, SOL is positioned to become the world’s number one crypto asset.

Crypto's Biggest Liquidation, DAT Strategies, & The Purification Trade | Jeff Park

Forward Guidance

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Consolidation is Coming: The recent retail wipeout will likely funnel capital into higher-quality assets, with Bitcoin positioned to front-run altcoins in a reversal of typical bull market cycles.
  2. Reframe Debasement as Purification: The simultaneous rise of gold and Bitcoin isn't just a hedge; it's a fundamental repricing of value and a cleansing of a broken financial system, driven by geopolitical strategy.
  3. DATs are Not ETFs: Digital Asset Treasuries offer an active approach to crypto exposure, with smaller players uniquely positioned to capture on-chain alpha that is impossible for mega-holders to access.

The Most Important Video I’ll Make This Year

Taiki Maeda

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **The Game Has Changed.** Stop trying to win by spot-buying overvalued altcoins in a market dominated by insiders. The real, sustainable edge is found on-chain through airdrop farming, which allows you to acquire tokens at a low cost basis and sell them to market hype.
  2. **Become an All-Weather Farmer.** Structure your portfolio defensively. A 50%+ stablecoin allocation is not being sidelined; it's a dry powder reserve that allows you to farm, hedge, and survive while others get wiped out. Your upside comes from farming, not from being 100% long.
  3. **Airdrops Are Your Asymmetric Bet.** Treat airdrop points as a call option on the entire crypto market. This allows you to stay risk-off with a large stablecoin position while retaining explosive upside potential if the market runs, creating a win-win scenario.
