Food distribution will be needed no matter how far AI advances. But the industry runs on a 2.9% profit margin, and I see that as a problem.
The solution is efficiency. Apps and software have been tried before, but they never took hold in an industry where paper and texts are the norm and technology is not a strength.
Asakana (YC F26) automates sales and the entire back office without changing how anyone works. Keep using email, text and handwritten paper. No ERP change needed. With minimal change in behavior, we make food distributors more efficient and more profitable.

AI models can be as convincing as a lawyer, but can they complete the complex multi-step reasoning a real legal matter requires?
Today we're excited to introduce LegalReasonBench, a new benchmark to explore this question and test models on realistic, long-horizon legal matters authored by practicing attorneys.

Today, we're starting to rollout Gemini 4 Argon to a set of trusted cyber defenders!
Argon is our new frontier model, and I'm excited about the impact it has already had on our own work within Google.

Very excited to launch this! Conversation dynamics are incredibly important and we've spent a lot of time working to improve them.
Voice AI's biggest challenge is timing. Today we’re excited to introduce Tango, Simple's conversational awareness model.
Tango is industry-leading on LiveKit's public end-of-turn benchmark, catching 96% of turn endings, responding in ~800ms, and barging in 5% of the time.

AI is a big W for 40-somethings. Old enough to have learned how to do things the right way, young enough to learn some new tricks.

“@Waymo has been very open and enthusiastic with the bicycling community about how their vehicles might be able to improve roadway safety,” Ramsey said. “And we’ve been impressed with how Waymo engineers have been thoughtful about how to better incorporate bicyclists’ behavior.”

It's been a year since I switched from being an org leader to an IC.
The first few months were really tough. When you are a perfectionist, it's hard to go from being really competent to making simple mistakes. Lots of "unknown unknowns" I had to figure out. I see why a lot of people I know bounce back to management within the 3-6mo range.
I did make it through the transition though, and I'm very happy I did. I find my new job extremely fun and invigorating. I'm so excited about what I do again. The work I get to do as an IC engineer is what I dreamed of doing when I was in school.
I'm also really grateful that I made this transition in the era of llms. It's so much easier to be able to ask Gemini my stupid questions first before reaching out to ask a human. Of course, it's also been important to avoid an over-reliance on llms... If you want to be an expert, you have to learn how to do the task yourself, not just delegate it to an agent. But overall I think this would have been way harder transition 5 years ago.

Gemini 3.7 Flash now also powers Spark! I think Spark is massively underrated for tons of work tasks, and 3.7 Flash means it now has better tool calling and really high success at multi-step, multi-skill workflows. These 10 prompts are my go-to for automating the weekly grind:
Eric Deng retweeted
Gemini 3.7 is here, only 3 weeks after 3.6 Flash, with major improvements at an introductory price that is half of 3.6 Flash.
We've been using it internally as our daily driver, and it's just...better to use! Better planning, more reliable and adaptable, and not to mention more capable across a number of benchmarks :)

going from good-to-great on the non-verifiables (writing, marketing, design) is going to be exponentially harder then going from non-existent to world-class on the verifiables (coding, finance, support).

Gemini Spark is your personal AI agent in the @GeminiApp that gets things done on your behalf, under your direction. It runs 24/7 (and yes - you can close your laptop). It’s powered by Gemini 3.5 and built on the Google Antigravity harness so it can complete long horizon tasks.
Spark will integrate seamlessly with tools, starting with ours, and soon with 3P tools with MCP. You’ll also be able to work with it through email + chat. Available to trusted testers this week and next week in Beta to AI Ultra users in the US.
