三个超级大脑坐进一家酒吧,聊了两个多小时。这可能是今年最值得看的一场 AI 访谈。 借着 Meta 发布新一代模型 Muse Wonder,小扎和亚历山大·王难得同框。采访者同样大有来头:Stripe 联合创始人 John Collison。Stripe 一直是我心目中美国最有创造力的公司之一。 三个人从 AI 模型、个人智能体,一路聊到产品、公司管理,以及如何做判断和决策。信息密度极高。 我给全片加上了中文字幕,值得找个时间慢慢看。

Incredibly bullish on Meta’s path. Well done!
This model is very very good. I was struggling to find anything to throw at it that it couldn’t do, even when other top models failed. Meta is back.

Highly recommend subscribing!
I launched a Substack: Breaking Change! I’m going to write about what I’m learning as we build through the biggest breaking change to how we work, at @stripe and beyond. First post: Can models build fully functioning t-shirt shops? Sort of. breakingchange.blog/p/buildi…

Between wallets for agents with @link (and @privy), MPP, Tempo, MCP, Stripe CLI, Agentic Commerce Suite, sandboxes, OpenRouter, Metronome/metered billing, Radar and distillation/token fraud, it turns out that "the economic infrastructure for AI" implicates a lot. Pretty much every layer of the Stripe stack is changing, and it’s a very good time to join if you want to build high-scale software that facilitates the practical deployment of this new intelligence.

Imagine if Uber, SpaceX, Slack, Instacart, Roblox, OpenAI....were founded and headquartered in Canada. It seems crazy even saying it, but they all have Canadian founders, but chose to leave and build in the USA. This is not a strike against them in any way, but it is illustrative of the issue Canada has with high value entrepreneurs leaving the country and taking value creation with them.
I spoke to @nationalpost earlier this week about what Canada can do to make this country the obvious place for entrepreneurs to stay and build “We talk a lot about positioning, we talk a lot about sovereignty, about making ourselves stronger internally....If the U.S. is raising walls and raising tariffs and doing more and more to put America first, I think the smartest response for Canada is to make Canada the obvious place for the next 517 founders to stay and build here.” nationalpost.com/news/canada…

over the last 2 years, stripe has changed the trajectory of the stablecoin space with bridge, privy, tempo and open standard we'll have a similarly meaningful impact on the AI space (catalyzed by metronome and, now, openrouter)
1/ Stripe has signed an agreement to acquire OpenRouter. OpenRouter will continue to operate as it is: same name, same product, same roadmap, same mission. But now, we will do it faster, and with Stripe's unparalleled excellence and reach.

OpenRouter is joining Stripe: stripe.com/newsroom/news/str…. As anyone who uses it knows, @OpenRouter is a truly delightful developer tool. It is by far the best way to use new models and manage multiple inference providers. OpenRouter is also playing an increasingly important role: in the future, every business will have to manage both revenue flows and token flows. OpenRouter is the world's leading token marketplace, helping businesses effectively allocate the new currency of intelligence capital. We think that there's a lot to build together.
