    This would absolutely be an amazing move by Silver Lake. I'm deeply skeptical of a future state where every enterprise vibe-codes and manages their own HCM. Workday and Aneel are much more likely to do something special with AI.

    Incredible achievement by SpaceXAI and Cursor. Enterprises and startups have already figured out Grok is a great model. The market opportunity is immense as Anthropic continues to be difficult to work with and is deeply unreliable as a partner/ vendor.

    Excited to release Grok 4.6. With each release, Grok is becoming a more capable digital colleague. 4.6 is significantly better at difficult tasks and knowledge work. It combines Opus-class intelligence and polish with very low cost and high speed.

    Amazing podcast with Patrick and Eric. Eric expresses our deeply held belief that it is an incredible time to start companies across multiple areas. One company will not do everything and the markets will end up bigger than most imagine.

    Incredible move by Meta. It will be interesting to see which open source license they use for Spark 1.2. There are now many clear paths to monetize open weights should Meta choose to.

    Today we're also opening the weights for Muse Glimmer, a great 30B parameter dense model that can run locally. Soon we'll also release the weights for Muse Spark 1.2, our latest foundation model. Meta is a strong supporter of open source and I'm proud of these releases. Congrats
