Ollama
Run a capable open model on your own laptop with a single command. The friction it removes is the whole product.
The friction it removes is the whole product.
nanoVLM
A complete vision-language model in about 750 lines — small enough to read in an afternoon, and that's exactly the point.
The whole pipeline stops being a black box.
The Bitter Lesson, ten years on
A 2026 re-read of Rich Sutton's famous essay, with a decade of scaling results to mark its homework.
A graveyard of clever methods, all beaten by ones that just used more compute.
Granola
A meeting-notes app that finishes your notes instead of replacing them — a small design choice that turns out to matter.
The best AI tools don't replace the human step — they finish it.
Atlas plays football
Boston Dynamics' humanoid is learning to play football, and the interesting part is what happens when it gets knocked off balance.
The recovery is the whole game.
Megatrends
All megatrends →Step into a field for its state of play — what's settled, what's moving, and what's worth watching. Each room is kept live.
Artificial Intelligence
Models, agents, and AI–human collaboration — general-purpose capability scaling into every domain.
Robotics & Physical AI
Humanoids, manipulation, sim-to-real — the hardware catching up to the models.
Longevity & Health
Aging biology, GLP-1, diagnostics, and ML moving into the clinic.
Human Enhancement
BCIs, neural decoding, and cognitive augmentation — closing the loop between mind and machine.
Sub-trends
All →The narrower rooms inside each megatrend — a sharper cut when a field gets too big for one view.
Agents
Models that act, not just answer — tool use and long-horizon reliability.
Frontier & AGI
Scaling laws, timelines, and the takeoff debate.
Open Models
Open weights and local inference — the democratisation track.
Neurotech
BCIs and neural decoding — reading signal straight from the brain.
Discover
Discover all →The players, tools and models that matter — scored on their own merits. Turn the same dial as the feed.

DeepMind
Google's science + AGI research lab — maker of Genie 3 and a steady stream of frontier work.
Anthropic
Frontier AI lab behind Claude — the models and the agent harnesses built on them.
llama.cpp
The low-level inference engine most local-model tools are built on — maximal control, minimal dependencies.
▸ Run a model locallyOllama
One-command runner for open models on your own machine — the default on-ramp to local inference.
▸ Run a model locallyLM Studio
A desktop GUI for browsing and running local models — the friendly front door if you'd rather not use a terminal.
