Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO
Returning to Twitter, Sam Altman posted a lighthearted reflection: "It's good to be back on Twitter; there's comfort in skills from a misspent youth." He paid tribute to Codex's mascot design with a brief /hatch clippy and apologized that the GPT-5.5 launch party could not accommodate many would-be attendees, promising better advance preparation next time. He also shared a significant model assessment: GPT-5.5 xhigh performs extremely well in fast mode, and he feels he had been "fooled" by Twitter enthusiasm for medium. Most importantly, although he increasingly thinks he wants cheaper, faster models, experience shows that "smarter" remains paramount.

Amjad Masad, Replit CEO
Amjad Masad announced Replit's 10th anniversary, with its vision and mission of "making coding accessible to everyone" dating to 2011. To celebrate, all Replit features are free for 24 hours starting at 5 a.m. Pacific Time. He also reflected on the evolving meaning of "prompt," noting that although its meaning has changed completely, much remains fundamentally the same.

Dan Shipper, Every CEO
Dan Shipper predicted the next decade's working pattern: continuously running agents on the left, applications used jointly by you and the agents on the right. He expects this to become the basis of most work. He also promoted Every's Proof writing tool as a "Codex-native app."

Aaron Levie, Box CEO
Using life-sciences companies as an example, Aaron Levie challenged claims that AI will replace software engineers. Ten years ago, such companies could not afford to build their own software. Today, AI pushes software costs toward zero, encouraging all these companies to build extensively and generating substantial demand for software engineers rather than eliminating the role.

Peter Steinberger, OpenClaw Founder
Peter Steinberger released Crabbox 0.3.0, supporting remote Linux execution of dirty working trees, GitHub browser login, Blacksmith Testbox integration, live run replay through crabbox attach, persistent run events, AWS image creation, and Cloudflare Access. He also shared an entertaining exchange: after telling Codex he needed to top up so xAI could keep working, Codex's response was too good not to share.

Builder Peter Yang, AI Tutorial Creator
Peter Yang shared real Codex and Claude Code experiences: the satisfaction of a breakthrough with Codex, the first Codex bug that tripped him up, and a smooth cleanup of local files and Google Drive using Claude Code with Google Workspace CLI. Tasks included checking computer startup items, proposing a cleanup plan, and organizing Downloads. He also admitted his excuse for spending nearly $3,000 on a MacBook Pro was "testing local models," although he was actually running something else.

Nikunj Kothari, FPV Ventures Partner
Nikunj Kothari self-deprecatingly illustrated AI-era costs: one of his projects has reached $36,500 ARR, accompanied by a screenshot that speaks for itself. Against spending on vibe coding and AI-tool subscriptions, the figure carries dark humor.

Aditya Agarwal, South Park Commons General Partner
Aditya Agarwal, South Park Commons general partner and former Dropbox CTO, urged engineers to leave terminals and consoles and look at the substantial real-world hard-tech construction happening across the United States, which he finds deeply inspiring and exciting.
