Introducing SubQ Snap, the first long-context decision model for real enterprise work. Snap is the only decision model or LLM where compute per token stays constant as context grows. • 384K tokens of multimodal context, 12x larger than Jev. • 61.7 on Decision Index v0.2.1 vs Jev’s 57.9, outperforming on 13 of 16 enterprise benchmarks. •Processes 100K tokens and returns a decision in under one second. •$0.05/MM input tokens. Output is free. Available today to anyone. The first 10,000 sign-ups get 100M free input tokens. We’ll likely hit capacity fast and will add users as we add compute. Compute offers welcome 🙂. Latency will be variable as we tune the platform to this new model and category of users. Model speeds are 80ms for minimal context, 250ms for 32k, 660ms for 100k, and 2.5 seconds for 384k.

I loved having @noahkagan on the Reboot podcast where we go way back to our first interactions, Noah's growth as a leader and how he shows up as CEO today. It's a great conversation. It's been awesome to watch Noah & team grow at @AppSumo. Congrats on the book @noahkagan!
🎙️ LIVE NOW @danputt sits down with @noahkagan, CEO of @appsumo and author of the Million Dollar Weekend. The pair discuss the benefits of seeking honest feedback, empowering underdogs in business, and learning to like (and trust) yourself. Listen now: buff.ly/49aMErJ

Bezos made famous the Regret Minimization Framework. “If you were 80 today, would you regret not going for X?”

Regrets are incredibly powerful. When regretting the past, they clarify what we value, and instruct us on how to do better. Anticipating what we might regret helps us lift our gaze out of the short-term to think and live long-term acting from a place of what really matters most.

Having an inner critic is painful. It’s always asking if “I’m worthy”. Worthy of all the good things in my life. I have this notion that to be worthy, I need to be perfect. An impossible quest. I remind myself that worthiness is a result of who we are rather than what we do.

I had a neighbor that hated me and it really, really bothered me. I’m the kind of person that wants (maybe needs?) people to like me. But she’d just look at me with disgust for no reason.

So I was shocked when I ran into her at the grocery store and she was cracking jokes with the cashier… Getting over the need to be liked is incredibly difficult, but also has incredible rewards.

You can’t truly live life on your own terms till you can free yourself from the burden of others’ expectations.
Leaders become better by embracing radical self-inquiry. Acknowledging what’s happening inside is as important as acknowledging what’s happening outside.

I’ve been thinking a lot about an observation from my 5 year old daughter after we visited Cedar Point Amusement Park (highly recommended) this summer: “Daddy, the best rides are the scariest ones to get on.” Feels true for life as well.

In a world that emphasizes ease it’s important to remember that the goal is not to avoid difficulty, but to keep our eyes open and chins up.

It’s amazing how often the conflict we’re struggling with at work has its roots in a conflict from our childhood, perhaps even one that wasn’t ours.

Employees know that leaders won’t have the solution to every problem. But they should make the effort to understand the problem and work toward a solution.

Wise words from Ed Catmull. As Jung said: “Until you can make the unconscious conscious it will direct our life and you will call it fate.”

The entire question of leadership is this: What do I focus on?
