Everyone QT'ing OP but this reply is the real way things will go. 3 Predictions: GUIs are here to stay but become custom AI harnesses over time APIs move to building blocks over pure orchestration. They are more important than ever because they are what underpins the MCP/CLI tools etc. Exportable building blocks will become paramount. They let people build their own UIs/orchestration in whatever way they want. The UI is just an opinionated configuration of core capabilities with a display/discovery/harness layer on top. More and more people will want to build these pieces into their own UI or more increasingly their own harness All of this is why you must own the metal to own your own destiny

Ah yes, excellent points. We shouldn't worry about AI risk, because remember, your ancestors were ravaged by tiger attacks, bubonic plague, smallpox, famine, earthquakes, and the Nazis. Thankfully there was always someone with a name like BoneGPT to stand up in the back and shout "STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT, ACCELERATE," and that's why we're here today. It definitely wasn't because people banded together and SOLVED these problems by inventing vaccines, building sewers, forming alliances, and studying the earth. You're naming problems that humankind has worked desperately over millennia to solve, as though it's evidence that problems just solve themselves. For none of these things did we say FUCK IT, IT'LL PROBABLY BE FINE IF WE DO LITERALLY NOTHING. It's the opposite: these are all stories about generations who fought valiantly to eliminate risks so that we, their successors, could live without them. It's on us now to do the same. There WERE people at the time who for each of these things said, fuck it, God will save us. Those people are not our ancestors. Our ancestors were the ones who got their shit together, solved these problems, and survived. AI doesn't became safe on its own. We have to actually SOLVE safety and learn how to control these things. And we will. It took enormous work to make sure planes don't fall out of the sky, or that space shuttles don't spontaneously combust, but we got there. But we have to actually do it. We don't get to just talk about it. We are going to willingly give control of almost all of the levers of society to AIs pretty soon. So we better be absolutely fucking sure that when we do, we're still in charge.

Builders and institutions across the Monad ecosystem are converging on Singapore to talk about what's next onchain. Agora's CTO and Co-Founder, @drakeevans, will deliver a keynote at the Open on Oct 6th at 3:30. At the Open? Come find the Agora team after the keynote!

the right way to use model capabilities is not to ship 10x more features to prod it's to spend more time understanding your users, trying experiments, building prototypes, learning about things you don't understand so that you can ship things that actually work

Best conference continues to get better

Thrilled for this client and the incredible team behind it! Agora has spent three years proving that a stablecoin business can be built the right way, with real commitment to giving back to its ecosystem. Can’t wait to see what they roll out next.

Exciting news from our portfolio company @withAUSD

A herculean effort from the entire @withAUSD team. This OCC charter coincides with one of the most transformative moments in fintech history. Agora is perfectly positioned to accelerate that transformation. Keep an eye on what we are announcing over the next several months!

When this news comes across the wire, it just hits different. The amount of time and effort it took for @Nick_van_Eck and @drakeevans to make this possible... makes it that much sweeter. I'm proud to see @withAUSD deliver on this and can't wait to see what's next...

Moving money faster is powerful. Giving businesses the confidence to move meaningful money is what makes it transformative. That’s why today is HUGE for @withAUSD . Agora has received preliminary conditional approval from the OCC to organize as a national trust bank—a defining early milestone on the path to a full charter for AUSD and regulated stablecoin infrastructure. What excites me most is what we’re building toward for finance teams, partners, and customers. Trust is central to how businesses choose their financial infrastructure, and this milestone matters. Congratulations to @Nick_van_Eck , @drakeevans , and the entire Agora team whose years of work brought us here. Proud to be part of the next chapter. #Stablecoins #FinancialInfrastructure

Huge congrats to @Nick_van_Eck @drakeevans and the whole Agora team on getting their preliminary OCC trust approval. The future of banking and payments lies in stablecoin and AI first digital businesses, like Agora, that are able to plug into and bridge the gap between traditional systems and an age of new financial primitives.

Huge congrats to @Nick_van_Eck & @drakeevans and the Agora team on their conditional approval. Agora is thinking from first principles about how stablecoins will transform finance. Excited to build with you guys!

This is a significant step for the U.S. markets. Rather than forcing an AMM into the existing exchange and Regulation NMS framework, the Commission is creating a temporary regulatory lane that allows permissioned AMMs to trade real NMS stocks while preserving selected investor-protection features of the existing securities markets.

why cloud agents? heres why: (M5 Pro btw)

I had one of these back in the day but for custom excel automations lol

Extremely underrated right now. To me a minute to get it but game changer
