Interesting to see Sequoia Capital continuing to innovate in Venture Capital. They have always set a high bar in how you operate with high integrity and rigor. They set a very high bar for themselves and come with a mindset of relentless execution. We are living in a golden era of innovation, it is the time to build and if you are someone who is excited to build your version of the future, now is the time. The mindset that is needed to win is that every week, every day, every minute is critical. What did you get done in the last 5 minutes?

Safe, sovereign AI deployment is the decade's top challenge

We have to start by accepting some new tenants like the cost of software is zero, cost of tokens in enterprise is near zero, model capabilities are already at AGI level when it comes to enterprise, and security and sovereignty of data is unsolved at the moment. It is an exciting space to innovate in.

GPT-6 Astra edits Qwen's weights to make it better at math

Wow! This is like science fiction. This might be the clearest sign that we are on the verge of RSI (Recursive Self Improvement). In this case, GPT-6 Astra is able to modify the weights of an open-source Qwen 3.5 model to make it better at math by just editing 0.016% of the weights. Link to the paper and analysis in comments Paper: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-space-programming Analysis and reproduction of the result from Simon: simonwillison.net/2026/Nov/3/qwen-can-interpret-mod…

Business workflow automation and the zero cost of software

Business workflow automation is the dev-tools of business domain just like we had a whole developer tool stack of SaaS serving tech companies. Unfortunately this time, this stack itself will not hold any value since the cost of developing software has gone to zero. So where is the value? It will continue to be in human ingenuity and understanding of how other humans tick. Our economy is based on a barter system of solving each other's problems. Now that the solving of a lot of those will be done by AI, the value shifts to knowing what to solve and finding the people with those problems.
