The National Design Studio is doing remarkable work for America. It is extremely rare for people as accomplished and talented as @jgebbia to leave the private sector to work for the public. I hope it inspires more people who’ve built extraordinary companies to help build a country where others get that same chance.

AGENT WARS We asked 5 top AI models to design, engineer and 3D print a bridge to with the goal of holding the most possible weight. 🇺🇸 Anthropic: Claude Opus 5.5 (High) 🇨🇳 Kimi: Kimi K3 (High) 🇺🇸 Meta: Muse Spark 1.3 (High) 🇺🇸 OpenAI: GPT 6 Astra (High) 🇺🇸 SpaceXAI: Grok 4.7 (High) Each bridge had specific parameters. It had to span 2 feet, use a maximum 500 grams of filament, and it had to be under 18 hours of printing time. We specified what type of weight and where we would place it on the bridge. The Score: • Claude Opus 5.5 held an estimated 130 lbs! It took 9 hours and 11 minutes to print 17 parts and used 441 grams of filament. • Meta Muse Spark 1.3 held 26.5 lbs. It took 13 hours and 12 minutes to print 49 parts and used 478 grams of filament. • OpenAI GPT-6 Astra held an estimated 17.5 lbs. It took 15 hours and 44 minutes to print 29 parts and used 442 grams of filament. • SpaceXAI Grok 4.7 did not finish. On assembly it could not stand up by itself. It took 12 hours and 22 minutes to print 29 parts and used 460 grams of filament. • Kimi K3 did not finish. It wasn’t engineered correctly so the bridge could not even be assembled. It took 11 hours and 19 minutes to print 35 parts and used 446 grams of filament. That means our champion for this episode is Claude Opus 5.5. Not only did it hold the most weight (by FAR) it also took the least time to print, used the least amount of parts and used the least amount of filament. This was episode 02 of Agent Wars, stay tuned for episode 03.

Awesome notification to open IG up to from @finkd himself. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to spend time with such a brilliant and creative group of people. Connect felt historic this year.

Life with Claude, episode 02 I posted this paid partnership on Instagram and it’s ripping. I think the future of creator marketing is shifting from brands sponsoring a story, to becoming a character in one.

Very useful resource for creators: My friend @covacut built a searchable library of over 100,000 (and growing) public-domain, archival films. Preserving verifiable, historical clips is more important now than ever.

This video did 1.2 million LIKES across IG/TT in 20 hours… Shattering my previous record. Short aspirational little dopamine hits for the group chat can be so explosive on social.

Meta knocked it out of the park with @Muse. I think it's their most important product since Instagram or WhatsApp. Trillions of $ in consumer spend will be facilitated through personal assistants in the future and they have the distribution, infra and data (not to mention 3.6b users and cash machine to keep it free) to really compete for market dominance here. A few things I used it for in the last week: • FedEx tried delivering a package that required a signature to the wrong place and left a note on their door. I explained what happened to Muse and it handled all correspondence. Package arrived next day. • Asked it to find and purchase the closet 6 seats together for Disney on Ice tickets for next month. • DMV sent me a letter about an insurance verification issue, I gave it to Muse and it handled.
