@ABC News continues to lie, this time privately to their friends in the press. This was a coordinated influence operation planted by our competition, not "premature publication".

7:01 AM October 7th, story goes live. Within minutes, dozens of high-profile commentators, politicians, and news outlets are sharing it with tens of millions of followers. We immediately contact ABC and demand they correct their false claims - after multiple rounds of refusal, they finally make a single one-word grammar edit. The editors stand by the reporting and insist the false claims are true.

Finally, eight hours after I was forced to call them out publicly, they delete everything. The editors hide all the comments, the author deletes his X account, and the story is completely wiped from their website without any explanation, directly violating SPJ ethics standards and ABC's own internal rules.

ABC is currently running a coverup operation, ignoring all of our requests for correction/retraction while telling their buddies to spread the word that this was nothing more than a CMS publication timeline error.

It's only been 3 weeks 🤯

We've made some new friends at @a16z (they're really cool), have lots of customers, a huge community, and JevDay is coming up!

I am super fired up to be working with @CompleteSkeptic, Erik, and Sash Dog!

Yup. I love it. Back to building proper software with fewer reliability problems. Jev is now core to how we build at @dair_ai.

We even have a dedicated automation pulling the best Jev use cases on X, all done by Jev itself.
academy.dair.ai/resources/jev-…

we told @a16z we wanted to put intelligent software everywhere

they asked how much compute that would take

we said Uh Yes.

announcing our really big Series A

"The era of software being over, is so over". Hell yeah. Whatever problems humanity must face, computers and software will be central to the solution.

So very excited to partner with @CompleteSkeptic and team to make software better. Long devs, long programming and long Jev!!!

launched a model

accidentally served trillions of tokens a day

29.4% of the fortune 500 showed up

raised a really big series A from @a16z

it's been 3 weeks

we would like to sleep now

We’re so excited to announce that we’re leading TypeSafe AI's Series A:

"Like @TypeSafeAI, we believe the future of SaaS and software is bright. And AI should make software more powerful, and not just automate the recreation of existing software. This spiritual alignment goes back many years. We’ve long been fans of Diogo, the founder and CEO of TypeSafe, and have resonated strongly with his vision that the true bitter lesson is not necessarily about building a new being, but returning the power to builders by giving them the primitives of intelligence then letting them unleash their imagination.

The entire a16z team is excited to partner with TypeSafe. Software continues to eat the world."

Old meets new -- analog generative music created (in part) by an AI agent. I have a @bot who helps me come up with new ambient and drone patches.

These days I primarily listen to my modular droning on when coding/writing/etc.

And Grok @bot only gets better from here 🚀 🚀

You could build an entire company made of Grok Bots!

Can a model that doesn’t generate text compete with frontier LLMs?

We independently tested TypeSafe’s Jev against 11 other models. On 400 claim-verification questions, it matched GPT-6 Astra’s 97.5% accuracy at ~1/500th the cost.

Grok Bot can now search, read, and monitor X.

NEW: Top SaaS Vendors on Ramp (Oct 2026)

We clearly see AI spend pulled in two different directions.

On the downside, new and cheaper models are pushing AI spend down. Jev captured an entire percentage point of market adoption within a month (unheard of growth). And routers continue to gain.

On the upside, the increased adoption of expensive image and video generation models will push AI spend up, like Higgsfield and Runway.

1. sick!!! #1 breakout growth #2 growth in market share! 💅
2. not a language model ☠️

Experimenting with Chisel in Atlas beta. We’ve been rolling out beta access to a bunch of users and it’s been really cool seeing what people are building.

New: Decision Model Rankings!

See the spend share and token share of different decision models and task types, including Relevance, Correctness, Instruction Following and more.

@typesafeai is leading all categories today.

Bad news guys: Grok Bot is actually really good 🙃

Important note regarding Grok @bot:

Going forward, @SpaceX will use the best back end model for any given task, including Claude Opus 5.5, MidJourney, Suno and other leading APIs.

Whatever is most likely to give you the best outcome.
