If you re running a startup with little to no budget, what CRM are you using? Trying to keep things lean but still need something to track leads, customers, and follow-ups.
is there any reason to prefer one over the other? Have you used both or either?
My needs are simple. I want to be able to add two accounts and let someone put a meeting on my calendar from a link. I think both cover the use case -- which should I use?
ICYMI: @levelsio shipped a flight simulator game last week. It's pretty fun, it's got some low poly / minecraft-esque graphics, pretty good physics, a turbo boost, and even PvP. The kicker is he built it, at least the version one anyway entirely by prompting @Cursor.
It got me thinking about a question that a ton of people have tried to answer in the past few years; What does the future look like for someone getting into development?
ICYMI: 1x launched the NEO Gamma, a new generation of humanoid robots that are designed to help out with things at the home like doing the laundry, cleaning, putting up photos, etc. This is the kind of stuff I used to dream about as a kid but now as an adult I'm not sure if I want a robot walking around my house. Would you let one in and what do you think about home robots? Think they have a future or is it going to be a hype train before fizzling out?
As a non-technical marketer, I am looking for a no-code tool to build marketing pages fast for my company. I have seen a lot of tools and options in the market. Framer.ai and Squarespace seem to be some popular options. However, the learning curve for these platforms is still high.
I am curious whether there are better AI-gen website tools out there.
The new AI model selloff cost the world s 500 wealthiest people $108 billion, whipping out $2 trillion worth of US stock market capital. On Monday, Nvidia alone lost $589 billion in market capital. Deepseek is China s new and very first AI model, and it made headlines within a week of its release. Now, we all see new AI models heading up, but Deepseek is what most of us didn t see coming. Instead, I am intrigued by its cost-efficient model, which is shaped using reduced-capability chips compared to its predecessors, Chat GPT and Gemini. Within a week of its launch, this Chinese app has become the most downloaded free app in the US. While OpenAI s GPT-4 incurred a training cost of $600M
DeepSeek s V-3 model is claimed to have been created within a budget of $6M. Interestingly, what took tech giants like Open AI and Google years to build is now claimed to have been achieved in 2 months, in a thousandth fraction of its cost. If we compare the infrastructure, DeepSeek is comparatively stronger. With over 685 parameters and a cluster of Expert MoE architecture, it seems like a better choice at first glance. The investors in panic mode are getting communities buzzing about how investors never think long-term. As in this case, most of Nvidia s sales come from selling server systems, GPUs, and entire data centers with racks, networking, CPUs, etc. The panic mode among investors from a single release doesn t make much sense. Whatsoever, the AI revolution has come to another level and is evolving at a much faster pace! Here are some of my takeaways. Firstly, since Deepseek has attached a number against its development, do we need 500 Billion funds to achieve this? The answer is somewhere in the middle. While the infrastructure will continue to become cheaper and better, the race to the bottom is inevitable. However, this doesn t mean we can skip the cost of developing and figuring out the background architecture. A simplistic explanation is to treat AI as just another progressive step in Software. It's something David Friedberg has been advocating for a while. Second, even before we know what AI can do, the point of AI regulation seems like an overkill, and I think Deepseek's innovative development has somewhat made the point. (It doesn t matter which side of the fence you are on or whether it s a Sputnik moment triggered by sanction or just another AI meltdown) Lastly, we all should remember that it s a tool rolled out by a hedge fund, which by nature is known to bias the market in its favor. Only time will tell whether they want to run it as a business or it s just a way to short on US AI giants to win some extra IRR. I leave the politics for the journalists to figure out. Let me know what you all think. -Abhinav
Imagine a tool that lets you add voice-overs to your videos in any language. Exciting, right? How do you think this tool could help you, and how would you use it? Share your thoughts!
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison appeared at the White House Tuesday afternoon alongside President Donald Trump to announce the company, which Trump called the "largest AI infrastructure project in history." Share your thoughts on how this initiative could shape the future of AI.
