Clement Delangue hails AI Security Institute’s open release of its evals, datasets and models on Hugging Face, empowering researchers worldwide to scrutinize, reproduce and build on their AI safety work.
#3 𝕏
Guillermo Rauch rolled out per-API Key spend caps on AI Gateway, letting users set budget limits for each key to better control costs.

Peter Yang highlights how Josh Pigford—fresh off a $4M exit— is solo-building five AI-agent products, using a 3-phase build process, adversarial code reviews with Opus + GPT-5.5, and a “but for real” AI bug-catching hack.
#5 𝕏
There’s An AI For That launched a free, open-source AI that uses only Wi-Fi signal reflections—no cameras or sensors—to reconstruct real-time, full-body poses through walls, in the dark, and across rooms.
#6 𝕏
Harrison Chase announces that GEPA now integrates with LangChain—thanks to @bryonkuchML’s PR, you can optimize your LangChain chains using the new GEPA adapter; see the walkthrough in the docs.

How to Build an AI Engineering Stack - Build the stack around workflow requirements, specifying inputs/outputs, latency targets (e.g., <2s for chat autocomplete, <10s for document review), cost targets (<$0.02 per support ticket, <$0.50 per contract analysis), failure tolerance, and audit needs. Implement core layers—product workflow, prompt management with versioning and rollback, model routing (fast/strong/fallback/specialized), context/retrieval tracking of query→chunks→scores→final context, and an evaluation layer with repeatable tests (start with 30–50 examples) plus an eval table recording test ID, input, expected behavior, scoring method, prompt version, model, score, and notes.

Teresa Torres highlights Rona Wang’s insight that AI often approaches a “hard ceiling” then stalls at a “soft ceiling.
#9 𝕏
Peter Yang observes that the same Opus 4.8 model yields very different outputs between Claude Code and regular Claude; he finds regular Claude better for writing tasks, likely because its default prompt isn’t optimized for coding.

Videos → LinkedIn Posts With AI 🚀 (postiz.com)
SyntaxGTM
Automates turning videos into LinkedIn posts by using the open-source CLI-first scheduler Postiz—generating diagram infographics with OpenAI Images V2, previewing posts identically to LinkedIn (including comment-based link placement), scheduling them from the terminal, and tracking via Dub links.
- Generates diagram-style infographics with OpenAI Images V2 using pencil-style prompts and a custom color scheme, refined over five to six prompt-engineering iterations.
- Installs Postiz from GitHub, authenticates LinkedIn via its dashboard, then uses the Postiz CLI to preview posts exactly like LinkedIn (including automatically placing external URLs in comments) and schedule a post for May 27, one day ahead of the video launch.
- Integrates Dub (dub.sh) for link shortening and click analytics—feeding metrics back into Postiz—and costs $49/month for individual users or $100/month for agencies.

$21K → $100K MRR in Weeks by Selling to AI Agents 🦞
SyntaxGTM
Navon scaled Postis from $21K to $109K MRR in four months by integrating OpenClaw agent support—adding an OpenClaw-compatible CLI, MCP node, and marketplace listings—after a 7-million-view X article by Oliver Henry.
- In 18 months, Navon grew Postis to $21,000 MRR and 30,000 GitHub stars using the open-source growth playbook on gitroom.com.
- A 7-million-view X article by Oliver Henry in February 2026 generated 700 daily trials and drove $2K–$3K of MRR growth per day.
- Navon released an OpenClaw-compatible CLI, listed Postis on ClawHub and the Claw marketplace, and launched an MCP node, boosting revenue to $109K MRR with ~$1K added every two days.

Julien Chaumond warns that as AI models grow ever more powerful, traditional power structures are scrambling to exert influence within a rapidly closing time window before their sway inevitably declines.
#14 𝕏
Garry Tan lays out two key loops: the empathy loop—deeply understand what users want and deliver it—and the conviction loop—hold firm belief in your product’s value even when others doubt it.

#19 📝 PromptLayer Blog
How to Build an Anthropic Prompt Generator - Builds a generator that converts a structured input form—illustrated with a "support_ticket_classifier" JSON containing runtime_inputs (ticket_subject, ticket_body, customer_plan), allowed_categories (billing, bug, feature_request, account_access, security, other), output_format "json", constraints ("Return valid JSON only."), bad_answer_examples, and success_criteria—into a strict output schema that includes name, description, variables, evals, and an anthropic_request object (model, max_tokens, temperature, system, messages). It supplies sample prompt-assembly JavaScript to produce a Claude-ready request, emphasizes Anthropic message formatting (system in the top-level system field, user content in messages), and recommends prompt versioning, automated eval cases, and separating policy/developer/task instructions for repeatability and testability.
