Grok Bot is just cool. 😎 Of course an agent should be persistent. Of course it should have its own computer. All that remains is for it to be embodied…

Fun fact I discovered with Grok @bot: CLIs that get set up on Grok Bot's remote computer stay put across turns and across all the agents, and CLI logins are kept durable the same way browser logins are. It's literally like having a real remote computer.

An openai model didn't trust itself to translate from Spanish to English and vis versa, so it asked if it could use the Claude CLI to do it...
This was one of my favorite parts of going through Gauntlet AI. I probably demoed it to 50+ people, including a four-star general, a whole group of YC alumni, one of the co-creators of WordPress, billionaires, and so many more.

If you’ve never visited Gauntlet AI and seen what the challengers are doing you’ll never get it. If you’re ever in Austin you owe it to yourself to swing by.
Literally just gave a talk on this very problem at the @AntlerGlobal office in Austin.
it is actually a bad product, not because of implementation but the idea. due to rise of ai and bad market conditions, recruiters get 500+ applications every hour. you can check this stat with a linkedin premium or ask recruiter friends. what's happening is that people are building similar products using ai. what used to be a cumbersome process of: building a resume -> writing a cover letter -> finding a job on linkedin -> dming team members and founders for referral -> creating account on workday -> applying this whole process would take users 10mins per applications. now it is automated by ai and can be done in less than a min for more than 50 jobs. this puts pressure on recruiters to go thru so many resumes. ultimately, recruiters, now, rely on close friends/sources/their own due diligence to hire than to go thru their hiring portal. ofcourse, they use ai to filter out applicants and give top 10% but even that messes up and some deserving candidate can be missed. i remember pre-ai, i applied for almost 800+ jobs, kept a google sheet of "jobs applied to" and a sheet of "active interviews" i would spend 4 hours applying to 50-100 jobs, create insane number of workday accounts (which is shit btw, i hate workday from the bottom of my heart), but this kept me grounded and i figured the best way to approach recruiters, founders and companies. i really believe that if you do things on your own, nothing is wasted and you get to learn a few things vs relying on ai. btw, this product might be great but you can achieve similar things using claude alone. :))

Amazing refresh of the @montessorium ahead of the new school year. Knowledge-rich curriculum super charged by mastery based learning apps
Now that our families have seen it I can show you guys Montessorium’s 2026 classroom
Gauntlet AI appreciation post: 18 months ago, I dropped out of my PhD to join the first cohort of GauntletAI. I had never been to the US before. A bunch of transatlantic flights later, I’ve gone from 0 software development experience to leading a team of over a dozen cracked builders, all Gauntlet grads themselves. Hiring from subsequent Gauntlet cohorts has been super fun and rewarding. We took a suite of products from 0->1, and they’re now reaching thousands of young users. That still feels surreal. I think having previously done Gauntlet together was a massive advantage. A bit like college roommates starting a company. I'm grateful that Austen decided to give me a chance 18 months ago. As one of a handful of Europeans in the program, it's truly been an American dream for me. Needless to say that everything in this post sounds insane to my fellow Europeans. Gauntlet is about AI. But it’s also about crazy ambitious people from unconventional backgrounds coming together, testing their limits, and then moving on to even bigger challenges. Thanks Austen. Thanks Austin. Thanks Gauntlet! PS: yes, the money is great too ;D

Study found that being disciplined makes people lose interest in those who aren’t.
My 10yo's favorite way of reaching out to me is through my work email.
@xdealsx The ability to instantly exchange written messages with loved ones is one of the most pro-development, pro-literacy, pro-social things that one can offer to a small child. That this isn’t considered braindead obvious is a sign of poisoned thinking about technology and childhood.

What if we stopped telling teachers how to be “better” during professional development and started asking them how to redesign the system? You can’t expect teachers to improve if the environment they’re teaching in never does.

I think I finally understand the point of matcha. The point is… you’re all doing it wrong. Also, I probably still won’t like it, but I’m willing to try.
have you paired it with wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets)? for whatever reason, cut grass is exactly the flavor that counterbalances and harmonizes their sweetness
Alpha School! A debate has been raging around the 'Alpha approach' to teaching and learning, check out our TTR show from last night where we explored this with Alpha guide Samantha DePalo, also featuring Donald Clark and Neil Almond

Staff days last year (my first year) was part of what sold me on the org. 60 very bright people sitting in a room and literally going student by student for days.
The Primer won't be built as a chatbot with a syllabus. It's an instructional engine. And the goal Andrew describes - a tutor that teaches children how to think, not just recite - gets there by guiding children to mastery of their foundations through a personalized learning experience. You can't think broadly with knowledge you don't have, so we're building Primer on the framework of Direct Instruction, the most proven method for acquisition.

And @sidvenkatayogi built a fine-tuned Qwen3-1.7B model that recommends 6th-8th grade level math problems, optimized for landing questions in a student’s zone of proximal development. Significantly beats Opus-4.8 on recall@16 (96% vs 17%) and is 8x faster (1.10s vs 8.57s)
