We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

Dessa - the Conversation Model trained only on speech

Agentic commerce isn't future tech anymore. @hypepartners ran an end-to-end pilot with @Mastercard to give an agent a budget to buy its own research and campaign images: nine payments, two merchants, zero accounts. It was fun to get to play with AP4M before anyone else

AI agents can find what they need. Now they can pay for it, too.   Today at @Cloudflare Connect, Mastercard showed how Agent Pay for Machines lets an AI agent find and pay for digital services on behalf of a business, while sticking to the budget and rules that business sets.   Following pilots with @Cloudflare, @Ant_Intl , @BVNKFinance, @AIsaOneHQ, @coinbase, @base and @hypepartners, we're opening Agent Pay for Machines Early Access.    Now we want developers to put it to the test. 👇

it's weird running into tools forcing you to use their UI. It feels like they're nervously clinging to traffic that validates their value, while the user experience is that of an unnecessary bouncer

It’s exciting to be working in a time where the right tools can bring our vision to life. I left my AdTech engineering job to start Hype and work in crypto >8yrs ago. It’s always been my vision to build the tooling for the challenges I see around us - HypeFlow is one of those.

What if your entire creative team could collaborate with Gen AI the way they collaborate in Figma? Enter flow state, enter HypeFlow. Sign up for early access: hy.pe/flow

Our creative department was the first to adjust to new tech. Always testing, trying new things, and pushing their creativity With genAI I saw them become more capable and more productive. I hear myself explain to people how we used to work and how different it was - 2 years ago!

But with the changes come rising expectations of what we produce. Last month’s milestone becomes the next standard. We talked to our clients, our creatives, and identified the operational challenges. HypeFlow is our internal answer that we’re starting to share with the world.

This reminds me of the (unrelated) fact that there are so many people that misunderstand the simulation hypothesis to be a personal simulation

…oh. I misunderstood Scott. My idea of the Simulation Theory was that it’s about a genuine flat research worldsim. But Scott and his burger readers may suspect they are Ascended winners of the AGI race, reliving their moment of triumph among low-fidelity NPCs. Makes sense.

As crypto and emerging technology mature, it takes more to build the companies advancing them: deeper expertise, original ideas, exceptional people, and intelligent systems. The new hy.pe reflects the Hype we’ve grown into.

Subscription fatigue is real. Seriously expect a lot of people to switch from subscriptions to self hosted libraries in the coming years. Big opportunity to package hardware + software and let people extend their library (with buy-to-keep media).

There's still space for a streaming product within that (for discovery, variance), but with a fair model where the conversion is the sale of the media. Imagine lease-to-own on that: "you've streamed this song 20 times; own it for $0.50"

Prediction: corporate services will adapt to product-led growth. Agents act like developers and want instant access to data, systems, and actions. If an agent finds two suppliers, one of which has a CLI and the other a 'contact us via email' button, guess which one it'll use
