I think that's like the defining question like will you have control over your own tools or will your tools have control over you. Using OpenClaw these days is like driving a Ferrari and it's like exhilarating. It's insane.Like you get to do things like it figures things out you would never think a machine could figure out and it does it so quickly. But then it's also like a Ferrari and that you better be a mechanic. like it's a Ferrari that will break down on the side of the road, you know, when you most n ...

We're excited to announce that this summer, on June 29th, Y Combinator is hosting Startup School Paris. It will be a special one-day event where the best [music] builders and hackers from across France and Europe will come together to talk tech, startups, [music] and what's next. You'll hear from founders of some of the most iconic tech companies, such as Amie, [music] DataDog, Superbase, Bustle, and many more.You'll also get direct access to YC partners, YC alumni, and fellow builders. We're so excited to ...

Most AI chips are designed for a world where inference means prompt in response out. Agents don't work that [music] way. They loop, calling tools, branching, backtracking, holding context across dozens of steps.That's a completely [music] different hardware problem. Current GPUs hit 30 to 40% of peak utilization on these workloads because the work is bursty, bouncing between memory bound model calls, IO bound tool use, and CPU bound orchestration. That gap is where purpose-built silicon wins.[music] Nvidia ...

For centuries, scientific discovery has run on the same loop. Hypothesize, experiment, interpret, and repeat. The loop works, but it's slow, and every step requires significant human effort to advance.That's changing fast as frontier models have reached PhD level performance on many scientific reasoning benchmarks. Models can now assist researchers in proposing hypotheses, generating experiments, analyzing data, and suggesting next steps in discovery. Increasingly, the frontier is shifting from co-pilot res ...

The best AI native companies we are seeing have figured out something most haven't. They've made their entire company queryable. Every meeting recorded, every ticket tracked, every customer interaction captured, all legible to an AI layer that learned from it.This turns a company from an open loop into a closed loop. In an open loop, you make a decision and maybe check the results weeks later. In a closed loop, the systems monitors what's happening, compares it to what should be happening, and adjust.I've s ...

Everyone's talking about how AI coding means the end of SAS. Investors have wiped billions off software company market caps. Well, that might be bad news for incumbents, but it's good news for startups.If the incumbents really are this vulnerable, you should go build a challenger. AI has collapsed the cost of producing software by 100x or more, and that changes everything. The moat that once protected legacy SAS, millions of lines of code built over decades, is gone.There's a spectrum of ways to attack this ...

Hi, I am Adi Oltean, co-founder and chief engineer at Star Cloud, building data centers in space. The broad idea I would like to see is developing industrial capabilities on the moon and in deep space, particularly extracting raw materials such as silicon, aluminum, iron, and titanium through electrolysis and 3D printing of complex structures from molten regolith on the moon, which should be more efficient than on Earth due to lack of supports. If you are working on something like that in the space, then Y ...
