After about 20 years of being indie, I've taken on a full time role at @materialbank and @SANDOW, figuring out what the future of AI-native architecture and interiors products look like. It's such an insanely exciting time to be in tech, especially in an sector I love, and it's been so good working with @jashsak, @MrGarriock, and Adam Sandow in figuring out what's to come. linkedin.com/posts/danielhow…

ppl think anthropic has a retention problem when in reality gta vi drops nov 19 & these guys are just exhibiting strong long horizon mental planning.

Introducing tiny.london A massive isometric pixel map of London, based on amazing NYC demo by @_coenen from 9 months ago My agent created the dataset, finetuned qwen image LoRA adapter, did a multiday inference run and built an efficient tile viewer!
I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code.

Just realized people haven’t been using sparkle icon for AI anymore. That’s progress if we’re assuming all things have AI behind the curtain. But kudos to whoever came up with that icon in the first place - bc boy, it was a fever

A good interview question: do you think the Tesla roadster looks good If they get the answer correct they get the job and a mission s as a company car
Mission S. Authentic. Consistent. Timeless. A glimpse into the future - shaped by our heritage. Mid-engine architecture. A focus on the driver and the driving experience. Call it a love letter.

I was slow to adopt T3 but Orchestrator in the nightlies has been so, so good. Seamless with two machines and an iPhone, and switching between Calude and Codex accounts seamlessly mid-session, and cross thread comms has been perfect.
Orchestrator V2 is now out on the stable channel in @t3dotcodes! We also thought it was time we drop the Alpha branding, so we call this release 0.1.0 Beta. Mobile store builds are also updated. Versions 2.0.0 are available to everyone on both App Store and the Play Store!

I no longer see any compelling reason to believe that taste is some permanent boundary LLMs won’t cross. It’s already happening.

💯 So true. Seeing ideas shared is like listening to someone describe their dreams now, but seeing something focussed and interesting delivered perfectly e2e is so impressive.
People are saying execution is now irrelevant. I think opposite is true. The bar to executing a software idea is near zero. But quality of execution is more of a differentiator than ever. Good ideas badly made used to be promising ‘toys’ but now feel like throwaway party tricks

Seeing Fielder’s arc from Nathan for You to being one of the most important and creative powers in Hollywood has been a thrill

Also don’t make jev a core part of your architecture because it’s about to get slooooow

Jev is truly astonishing, I’m able to whip out ~30s calls with ~300ms evaluations. BUT it’s not 100% accurate (approx 70% in my tests which is still amazing), and I feel a lot of the demos are really over-reaching/fake. By November it’ll be perfect and we’ll have to rethink everything.

Al and I agree for once. it's astonishing how awful Astra is with UI. (Still spectacular at 3D though.)
my thoughts on the frontier models Fable 5.1 ✅ Good at general coding problems, UI ⛔️ Leaves insane comments, dumb computer use Astra ✅ Fast, surgical, smart. Amazing computer use ⛔️ The worst ui designer you've ever met

I tested Astra using a SketchUp file of one of my wife’s interior design projects, converting to Blender, and rendering a walkthrough. Total time probably ~4 hours. Definitely not one-shot but pretty incredible
