about yesterday… i’m really glad we made the night show happen, and many many folks enjoyed it. yesterday we doubled down on our thesis: in this new « slop » media era where creating becomes so easy, we will keep chasing greatness like we started months ago. i believe @siliconmania is an experience design company. crafting magical experiences for better human-machines interactions. it goes from IRL events, to HQ productions, to software, to hardware. and yes, we will scale. we just started with things that doesn’t scale, following the OG @paulg playbook. tbh, i believe Silicon Valley has lost that magical taste when Steve Jobs left us. it’s time to bring that level of care and attention back, especially with what AI is able to unlock for humans. and if we’re good enough, everyone wins: - folks in the « bubble » have fun, get great marketing, great experiences. - folks out of the « bubble » discover what’s happening and enjoy the amazing technology we’re shipping in the best way possible. i hate how many people out there are scared of @Waymo. i’m sorry to say this but it’s definitely our fault. we suck at promoting our innovations outside of SV. i genuinely love what we’ve been doing with Silicon Mania since we started. and love the support we’ve had from day 1 ❤️ if you wanna help, lemme know! and stay tuned, we’ve some big announcements dropping next week. also, big thanks to everyone who helped yesterday, @AleeeM1 @abed_hamami @ionpetropoulos and @BATSimprov and @vargastartup for these sick pictures ✨

250 years of dreams, ambition, madness, risks, fights, opportunities, wins, loses, fun, business, and much more. tbh, if i learned one thing from being in the US 🇺🇸: here we don’t ask questions, we just make sh*t happens, even if it seems impossible. all what i wish you for your birthday America is to keep being home for ambitious dreamers, those who are shaping the future, like those who arrived here and shaped the past and still shaping the present. so, you keep taking the lead, by being the land where competition is on, where the best players are, and where the best of them wins (wins big) 🔥 grateful for every day i spent within you, for all the people i’ve met since i arrived, for all the crazy moments i’ve had, no country is 0.0001% close to what happens here, so excited for the future 🇺🇸🫶

🚨🔒 LOCKED IN: Anthropic just launched Claude Science, an AI built to help scientists do research. Claude Science is one app where scientists do all their work. reading studies, crunching data, making charts instead of juggling a dozen tools. A second AI checks every number and source for mistakes. It's free for paid Claude users, with up to $30,000 in credits for 50 science projects.
Introducing Claude Science, a new app designed with every stage of research in mind. Artifacts traced to their code, environments managed on demand, and 60 optional scientific databases that you can connect. Available now in beta.

🔒 Anthropic just released Claude Sonnet 5. It can now do real, multi-step work on its own. not just chat back and forth. It nearly matches Opus, their top model, while costing a fraction as much. Available free today.
Introducing Claude Sonnet 5, our most agentic Sonnet yet. It makes plans, uses tools like browsers and terminals, and runs autonomously at a level that just a few months ago required larger and more expensive models.

🔒 LOCKED IN: Arena just hit $100 million a year, 8 months after launch. Arena (@arena) is a tool that tests AI on real tasks to see which models are actually good. > Just hit $100M ARR > In 8 months > Started as a college project Now it does more than ask "which answer do you like?" It checks if the AI finished the job and how often it lied.
Arena has crossed $100M in annualized revenue run rate, eight months after launching our evaluation product. With our recent release of Agent Mode, millions of users on Arena are doing real work with agents, from coding to document analysis, in long-running, multi-turn sessions with hundreds of tool calls. Arena now evaluates objective criteria like task completion rates, hallucination rates, and more, far beyond our original human preference voting model. This expansion has taken us from a student project at Berkeley to one of the fastest growing companies in history. Go Bears! 🐻 Our core thesis is simple: to align AI with human values, we must directly measure its impact on people in the real world. Today's milestone is proof that Arena’s platform is the de-facto standard for post-deployment evaluation of AI.
