🔊 On your radar

We're really trying to not just talk about OpenAI. It's freaking hard.

⭐️ OpenAI release 03-mini for free. Likely in response to Deepseek.

👉 This matters; because this can do reasoning work for you at a very competitive price point. It also has reasoning and web search toggles to enrich your responses. Go try it.

⭐️ Open AI released deep research; a feature to run real long research on topics that require you to be more thorough.

👉 This matters because combined with the release of Operator, the landscape is shifting towards longer thinking with autonomous actions — and better results to show for it.

⭐️ DeepSeek just proved the 'worthless' GPT wrapper startups are actually the ones with real moats. FYI a wrapper is a product that 'wraps' an application on top of an AI model.

👉 This matters for indie builders. The opportunities again are in the pain points, user experience and distribution rather than the underlying technology.
​
It's analogous to AI being seen as electricity. The products and businesses built on top of electricity outnumbered the electricity suppliers.
​
And if you're searching for some ideas to build, Y Combinator has released their latest Request for Startups list, new for 2025.

💜 BONUS TUTORIAL: Building a Video App With Loveable.dev

In this video we get a glimpse of the future of app building as Kieran tests out Lovable.dev to see what it can do. In roughly an hour he was able to build a fully functional MVP of a YouTube video review app complete with user authentication, a dashboard, a Supabase backend, and a nice core feature set.
​
"I've tried out several AI code generation tools before and this is by far the furthest I've ever got with any build!"

📍 Final thoughts

If you ever thought that there isn't enough drama in tech, it turns out that there is a new play coming out this year which "follows the unraveling of a tech company as its leaders and board members clash over ambition, ethics, and the dangerous pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence." Sound familiar? Crowdfunding here.

With good vibes 👋
