    Elon Musk’s best friend could make more than $100 billion from SpaceX’s IPO. His firm is also owed billions by SpaceX

    Antonio Gracias, a close associate of Elon Musk, stands to gain significantly from SpaceX's anticipated IPO, potentially accumulating over $90 billion based on the company's projected valuation. Gracias's firm, Valor Equity Partners, has been a long-term investor in Musk's ventures, including early support for Tesla. Beyond his equity stake, Valor has entered into substantial equipment lease agreements with an xAI subsidiary, now absorbed by SpaceX, totaling nearly $20 billion. These leases, which SpaceX guarantees, have been classified by SpaceX's auditor as a "failed sale leaseback," effectively functioning as loans that add to SpaceX's balance sheet. AI

    Inside the Together AI kernels team

    The Together AI kernels team, including researchers Dan Fu and Tri Dao, developed FlashAttention, a software layer that significantly optimizes GPU performance for AI models. This breakthrough, achieved by applying database system principles to GPU memory movement, resulted in 2-3x speedups, challenging the notion that transformer attention was already fully optimized. The team's subsequent work, including the ThunderKittens library, aims to accelerate kernel development for new hardware like NVIDIA's Blackwell GPUs, addressing the critical software-hardware gap in AI infrastructure. AI

    IMPACT Optimizes AI inference and training by bridging the software-hardware gap, potentially lowering costs and improving responsiveness.

    Your CEO is suffering from AI psychosis

    The AI development landscape has shifted dramatically, with coding agents now capable of sustained, long-horizon tasks, a change noted by Andrej Karpathy since December 2025. This has led to new products like Perplexity Computer, an orchestration-first agent system, and advancements in tools like OpenAI's GPT-5.3-Codex and GitHub Copilot CLI. However, this rapid progress has also fueled a "productivity panic" and a form of "AI psychosis" among executives and VCs, who are investing heavily in agentic workflows and tools that may not yield measurable value. AI

    Your CEO is suffering from AI psychosis

    IMPACT AI coding agents are reaching new levels of capability, driving both innovation in developer tools and a concerning trend of executive "AI psychosis."

    How we name things

    Replit's CEO discusses the critical importance of naming products and features, arguing that these decisions are often undervalued compared to company names. He proposes three principles for effective naming: ensuring names complement the main brand and set accurate expectations, using realistic rather than fantastical names, and choosing names that clearly communicate the product's function. The blog post uses examples from Google, Tesla, and Replit's own Ghostwriter (now Replit AI) to illustrate these points. AI
