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.

Remember when I said I was building a generational team for a generational company?
I’ve joined @trybasis to grow the Labs team alongside @mitch_troy, @falcone_design, and @simoncorry, where we're exploring what emerging technologies could become and how they might change the way we work, make, and live.

ANNOUNCMENT: I've joined @trybasis to work on Basis Labs
When agents write trillions of lines of code, solve open math problems and run our companies, what do we become?
I've always believed the answer is expanding what we're capable of
What inspires me most about what the Basis team have built is that they chose to expand what accountants can do with AI, not take it away. Today about half of the top 25 US accounting firms use Basis
I'm excited to work with @ethanproia, @falcone_design, @simoncorry, @mitch_troy and the wider Basis team on experimenting with:
- human-agent interfaces
- new kinds of models
- long-horizon agents
- fun benchmarks
- what AI means for society
Excited to share some of what we've been cooking!

Jacob Thornton (@fat) is the founder of Pierre Computer Company (@pierrecomputer).
Pierre provides the building blocks of the computers that agents will use to do work. But Pierre is as much a brand and culture project as an infrastructure one. Jacob believes brand is the most important thing you can be doing in 2026, and his references run from MTV and skateboard brands to Godard films and the magazine racks at sf Heath newsstand.
In this interview, we talked about why MVP culture is cringe, how to find and hire obsessives, why the best creative work at Pierre starts in iMessage threads, and the real reason the company is named Pierre… sort of.
Read the full interview "Virtual computers for agents, chrome blobs, and MTV" linked in the thread.

after six and nine years respectively, me and @narrowd left L̶e̶d̶ ̶Z̶e̶p̶p̶e̶l̶i̶n̶ stripe a couple of months ago.
what we did at stripe/press over the years was a big deal for us, and i don't want to diminish it by making jokes or reducing a tough decision to "we made the difficult decision to leave". maybe we’ll write a book.
i will miss some of our enemies and all of our friends. art directing books and designing websites for @stripepress was an honor.
we will miss the chaos of it all 🫡
