STAMINA IS A QUIET ADVANTAGE

Stamina is often associated with physical endurance, but it's also the ability to consistently uphold values and commitments even when facing adversity. It's demonstrated through persistent effort in various aspects of life, like teamwork, problem-solving, and relationships, despite challenges and exhaustion. Stamina is cultivated by maintaining focus, patience, and an open mind while working towards long-term goals, even without immediate progress, which is valuable when working on long-term projects, like a startup.

BUILDING AI AGENTS TO QUERY YOUR SPREADSHEETS AND DATABASES

Query Tables is an AI agent tool that allows users to analyze structured data from various sources using SQL queries. It can connect with data sources like Notion, Google Sheets, and enterprise data warehouses like Snowflake and BigQuery. Query Tables maintains a unified abstraction layer that represents all data sources as tables with a unique ID, schema, and source URL so data can be joined from different sources easily.

THE MODEL IS THE PRODUCT

AI is evolving towards a model-as-a-product paradigm, where the model itself, rather than the application layer, becomes the primary source of value. This shift is driven by the stalling of generalist scaling, the success of opinionated training, and the plummeting cost of inference, leading to closed AI model providers moving up the value chain and disrupting the application layer. Examples include OpenAI's DeepResearch and Claude 3.7.
