Well, NVIDIA just dropped another monster earnings report<\/a> yesterday, posting $46.7B in revenue and guiding to $54B next quarter. Huzzah, the entire US economy is saved! lol\u2026. <\/p>\n

(Lets hope this ages well\u2026 we schedule these emails ahead of time, so don\u2019t hold us accountable if the market opens in the red after you read this!).<\/p>\n

Anyway, the numbers are honestly getting ridiculous at this point. Their data center business alone grew 56% year-over-year, and CEO Jensen Huang casually mentioned they’re looking at a $3-4 trillion AI infrastructure buildout by 2030. Meanwhile, everyone’s still scrambling to get their hands on H100s and the new Blackwell chips. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what happened in AI today: <\/p>\n

a16z ranked top 100 AI apps with Google placing four products. <\/p>\n

UCLA created laser-based AI image generator using light for diffusion. <\/p>\n

Google, OpenAI, and Perplexity expand in Asia for diverse training data. <\/p>\n

Researchers mapped 9 bottlenecks blocking AI code automation. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So a16z released their latest ranking<\/a> of the top 100 consumer AI Apps across mobile and desktop, and the results are pretty fascinating. This data is based on SimilarWeb website traffic ranking, so it\u2019s based on what actual consumers are actually using. Let\u2019s dive in. <\/p>\n

First, the big takeaway: the Wild West days are over. Only 11 new apps crashed the web party this time (compared to 17 last time), suggesting the ecosystem is stabilizing. Meanwhile, mobile saw 14 newcomers after app stores finally cracked down on those lazy \u201cChatGPT copycats.\u201d Good riddance! <\/p>\n

Google’s making serious moves: For the first time, they’ve got FOUR products on the list. Gemini<\/a> snagged the #2 spot behind ChatGPT with about 12% of ChatGPT’s web traffic. On mobile it’s much closer, with nearly half of ChatGPT’s traffic. Not too shabby for the search giant that everyone thought was sleeping on AI! Their other babies made the cut too: <\/p>\n

AI Studio<\/a> hit the top 10 (#10 to be exact). <\/p>\n

NotebookLM<\/a> landed at #13 (remember when that went viral?). <\/p>\n

Google Labs<\/a> rolled in at #39 (it spiked 15% the month Veo3 dropped). <\/p>\n

Grok 4<\/a> came out of NOWHERE, too. It went from no mobile app at the end of 2024 to #4 on web and #23 on mobile with 20m+ monthly active users. In fact, the July launch of Grok 4 drove a 40% usage spike, followed by that spicy anime avatar feature. Believe it or not, that drove serious growth. Why do you think Elon keeps tweeting about it? <\/p>\n

The vibe coding explosion is REAL:\u00a0Lovable<\/a> jumped from the \u201calmost made it\u201d list to #22, and hit $100M ARR already. These platforms are seeing 100%+ revenue retention in the first 3 months. That’s unheard of for consumer products. But here’s the weird part\u2014traffic to vibe coding platforms is way higher than traffic to the apps people build with them. <\/p>\n

Either everyone’s buying custom domains (doubt it), nobody\u2019s shipping anything, or we’re witnessing the birth of \u201cpersonal software\u201d (a.k.a tools you build and use just for yourself). <\/p>\n

The AI agent tool Manus<\/a> also made the cut for the first time, ranking #27 on the web list with its #1 traffic source coming from Brazil followed by the US. Manus also just announced<\/a> it hit a $90M annualized run rate. <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Augment Code<\/a> is bringing the power of its AI coding agent and context engine right to your terminal. Auggie CLI<\/a> expands Augment Code\u2019s mission to help professional software developers tackle production-grade codebases\u2013even when your code takes you beyond your IDE.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

You can use Auggie<\/a> in a standalone interactive terminal session alongside your favorite editor or in any part of your software development stack and automated workflows: <\/p>\n

Build features and debug issues with a standalone interactive agent. <\/p>\n

Get instant feedback, insight, and suggestions for your PRs and builds. <\/p>\n

Triage customer issues and alerts from your observability stack. <\/p>\n

Build with the AI coding platform that gets you, your team, and your code. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One edit per prompt: Don’t stack instructions, the model gets confused <\/p>\n

Be contractor-specific: Give clear, detailed directions like you’re hiring someone. <\/p>\n

Iterate without fear: Quality doesn’t degrade, so start simple and refine. <\/p>\n

Talk naturally: \u201cRemove the logo\u201d and \u201cadd text here\u201d work perfectly. <\/p>\n

Experiment freely: ~4 cents per image means you can test wild ideas. <\/p>\n

P.S: Logan says it has serious world knowledge, so it intelligently places products in realistic scenes without micromanaging <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

*Grammarly<\/a> fixes your writing mistakes and suggests better words for emails, proposals, and Slack messages\u2014free to try, then $12\/month. <\/p>\n

Prime Intellect<\/a> helps you find cheap GPUs and join collaborative AI model training, and just launched Environments Hub<\/a> which lets you crowdsource AI training environments (coding tasks, games, dialogue) to build open-source models instead of letting big labs control all the data. <\/p>\n

Fyxer<\/a> sorts your emails into action categories, drafts replies in your tone, and takes meeting notes so you can get to inbox zero before 9am\u2014free trial, then $22.50\/month. <\/p>\n

Google’s Gemini CLI<\/a> now works inside Zed’s editor<\/a>, so you can watch AI agents edit your code visually instead of running terminal commands. <\/p>\n

Lindy Build<\/a> codes entire web apps from prompts and fixes bugs by actually browsing and testing them, unlike other AI coders that work blind. <\/p>\n

Hermes 4<\/a> is Nous Research’s new open model that excels at creative tasks, shows you its actual reasoning process (using \u201chybrid reasoning\u201d to compete with top closed models), and is \u201cuncensored\u201d to align with your values (download<\/a>, paper<\/a>)\u2014try it here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

DeepLearning.AI<\/a> offers online courses for AI education, and just launched \u201cAgentic Knowledge Graph Construction<\/a>\u201d which teaches you to use AI agents to automatically build knowledge graphs from your data instead of doing it manually\u2014free during beta so go take it right now! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Google<\/a> added Duolingo-style language practice plus live translation across 70+ languages to its translate app, and Google Vids<\/a> now turns photos into 8-second video clips, creates AI avatars to read your scripts, auto-removes \u201cums\u201d from audio, and makes basic editing free. <\/p>\n

UCLA researchers developed a new light-based AI image generator<\/a> that can do diffusion (the process for generating images) via a laser beam (paper<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Google, OpenAI, and Perplexity<\/a> are apparently using partnerships, new cheaper tiers, and free access to their tools in countries across Asia to gain new, diverse data sets to better train their models on user behavior. <\/p>\n

Researchers<\/a> from Cornell, MIT, Stanford, and UC Berkeley mapped out 9 fundamental bottlenecks blocking true AI code automation (paper<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Want to see Spot, the robot dog from Boston Dynamics, do a triple backflip<\/a>? <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Superhuman\u2019s AI<\/a> turns it into your most productive workspace: automatically organizing messages, removing cold pitches, and drafting replies that sound exactly like you. Important threads stay front and center, while the rest fades away. <\/p>\n

The result? Hours back every week \u2014 and the calm that comes with knowing you\u2019re always on top of it. <\/p>\n
