I'm excited about voice as a UI layer for existing visual applications — where speech and screen update together. This goes well beyond voice-only use cases like call center automation. The barrier has been a hard technical tradeoff: low-latency voice models lack reliability, while agentic pipelines (speech-to-text → LLM → text-to-speech) are intelligent but too slow for conversation. Ashwyn Sharma and team at Vocal Bridge (an AI Fund portfolio company) address this with a dual-agent architecture: a foreground agent for real-time conversation, a background agent for reasoning, guardrails, and tool calls. I used Vocal Bridge to add voice to a math-quiz app I'd built for my daughter; this took less than an hour with Claude Code. She speaks her answers, the app responds verbally and updates the questions and animations on screen. Only a tiny fraction of developers have ever built a voice app. If you'd like to try building one, check out Vocal Bridge for free:

Back in the day, Wilson Wei (Jiequan) & Ryan Li （Yihe） and other guys  allegedly paid $400,000 in kickbacks to Wang Bingyu, a close lieutenant of Justin Sun, in order to accelerate BTT’s acquisition of Lino Network and DLive @OfficialDLive By the end of 2019, after BTT completed the acquisition of the Lino & DLive project and team, core members  including Wilson Wei , Ryan Li , Charles Wayn (Wang Jiaxi), and Shiyu Zhang ,Harry Zhang（Haoran) only stayed at BTT for about a year before leaving. They eventually split into two separate teams and embarked on their next round of token launches（ $G @Galxe and  $CYBER @BuildOnCyber）, conveniently leaving behind what was essentially an empty shell project with no real users for Justin Sun. In other words, at this point  Wilson Wei @WilsonWei777 appears to be the one taking the fall for Ryan Li @ryanli , Charles Wayn @charleswayn , and Shiyu Zhang @shiyuSQ,Harry Zhang @harryhrz . A bit more info about  Wilson Wei: This has already escalated into a criminal case. In mainland China ，pre-trial detention does not exceed one month. After formal arrest approval under normal circumstances, the investigation detention period typically lasts no longer than two months. However, Wilson Wei  has now been held for nearly three months, which usually suggests that investigators believe the evidence is relatively clear and substantial. The likelihood of a conviction and prison sentence is therefore quite high.

YC Bench by @CollinearAI: Benchmark for Agents who play CEO of an AI startup for 1 simulated year via CLI tool use against a deterministic discrete-event simulation. Score = final $$ amount achieved by @nazneenrajani and team Also a good opportunity to showcase this recent hf command ⬇️
