The third Sequoia Capital AI Ascent just wrapped up in San Francisco. After watching all the available footage on YouTube, it’s clear there were some game-changing insights—essential reading for any AI founder or industry professional. 1. The Shift in Revenue Logic: Selling Outcomes, Not Tools AI isn’t about selling software—it’s about selling results. Pricing is shifting from features to outcomes. Old model: A CRM sells “customer management tools.” New model: An AI-driven CRM agent sells “X closed deals per month.

Models improve, but answers stay generic — no deep alignment with actual work. Information chaos persists because AI isn’t wired into daily workflows. The root issue? AI is often bolted on, not built in. Feishu’s Fix: AI That Works Where You Work Enter Feishu (Lark) Knowledge Q&A, launched today.

Alibaba just unveiled Qwen 3, its latest open-source large language model (LLM), and its flagship Qwen3-235B-A22B now rivals DeepSeek R1, Grok-3, and Gemini-2.5-Pro in benchmarks. With hybrid inference and enhanced Agent capabilities, Qwen 3 signals a shift — open source is China’s key to global AI dominance. The New Open-Source Power Duo: Qwen + DeepSeek For years, the open-source LLM ecosystem was ruled by Meta’s Llama and Mistral. But today, DeepSeek and Qwen are taking over.

We delve into the transformative ideas presented by OpenAI Agent Researcher Yao Shunyu during his discussions at CS 224N and Columbia University. We Stand at the Midpoint of AI For decades, the crux of AI has revolved around developing innovative training methods and models. This trajectory has proven effective: from defeating international chess and Go champions to outperforming most on SATs and bar exams, winning gold medals at IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) and IOI (International Olympiad in Informatics) — milestones like DeepBlue, AlphaGo, GPT-4, and the O series were born from underlying training method innovations, including search, deep RL, scaling, and reasoning.

This year’s Product Hunt Golden Kitty Awards are a love letter to AI—and developers are eating good. From code assistants to synthetic video wizards, tools that blend human creativity with machine speed dominated the rankings. Let’s break down the winners (and why your workflow needs them yesterday). Top Dog: Cursor The AI Pair Programmer That Just Gets You Forget clunky IDEs. Cursor, crowned Product of the Year, is where coding meets conversation.

AI-powered website creation platforms are revolutionizing how products are built. Tools like Bolt, Lovable, and v0 are capturing the attention of both technical and non-technical users alike. Public data reveals that Bolt has already hit an annualized revenue of 20 million, while Lovable reached 10 million in annualized revenue just two months after launching its commercialization efforts. A new paradigm in application development, powered by large language models (LLMs), is emerging.
