Box CEO Aaron Levie

Aaron Levie argued that the biggest bottleneck in enterprise AI automation is getting agents the right context. Coding benefited first because repository context is relatively structured and clearly bounded, whereas acquiring context for other knowledge work, such as legal, finance, and HR, is much more complex. He believes solving this context problem is a key prerequisite for AI to scale in enterprises.

Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan

Garry Tan shared figures showing GStack’s continued growth, saying new users join every day. He described his workflow using `/plan-eng-review` and `/ship` to drive engineering planning and releases, greatly simplifying development decisions. He also cited an interview that changed how he works: after hearing Boris discuss software development thinking, he accelerated his own building and iteration.

Replit CEO Amjad Masad

Amjad Masad explained his interpretation of the “1000x engineer”: AI enables more people to build apps, freeing top engineers to pursue more foundational, ambitious platform work and continually expand what is possible. He sees this as a beneficial division of labor: AI handles routine app building, while human experts focus on infrastructure and platform evolution.

Andrej Karpathy (AI researcher and former Tesla AI director)

Karpathy shared a striking observation about LLM limitations. He spent 4 hours having an LLM refine a blog post’s argument and found it quite persuasive. He then asked the same LLM to argue the opposite, and it immediately dismantled the original argument and convinced him of the opposing position. This experiment revealed to him LLMs’ extreme flexibility in argumentation and fundamental limitations in critical thinking and consistency of position. The post received more than 23000 likes.

Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch

Guillermo Rauch released a long-awaited new typography feature, saying he could finally “achieve the text layouts of my dreams.” He also reworked a classic maxim as “The agent is the computer,” echoing the trend of agents replacing traditional computing paradigms. Vercel held its annual company offsite in Arizona around the same time, and he expressed strong praise for the team’s state.

OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger

Peter Steinberger announced that the next OpenClaw version will also be released as an MCP, supporting more messaging providers than Anthropic’s official messaging channels. He also previewed `/acp spawn codex --bind here`, a feature that binds Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode directly to the current session, enabling a cross-agent takeover: “LOOK AT ME, I AM CODEX NOW.” He also shared the pressure of handling user criticism while maintaining a successful open-source project, keeping a sense of humor about it.

Swyx (AI Engineer founder)

Swyx reflected on the trap of “false equivalence.” He believes treating things of differing importance as equal is a common mistake in content creation and strategy, and has consciously avoided this pattern over the past five years. He also commented on Zuckerberg’s case, arguing that this way of thinking had cost him.
