IDEAS
Make the Obstacle the Way
Created with Midjourney
Here is a simple but incredibly powerful mindset shift for you to use when facing challenges this week:
View obstacles as opportunities for growth rather than hindrances.
Focus on what can be done right now to tackle the challenge instead of complaining about it.
Accept what cannot be changed and actively work on what can.
Do these three small things, and the weight of the obstacle will crumble from your shoulders.
The inevitable obstacle in your way becomes the way.

The plateauing of LLM capabilities is becoming more prominent. Just last week, we spoke about how Gemini LLM beat GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The pendulum swung again this week, with OpenAI’s latest release of GPT-4o regaining the top spot. This trend is making the underlying models commoditised, with competition shifting away from raw capability.
Luca’s take: The AI space has been moving at lightning speed, so the fact that things are changing isn’t surprising. If anything, it should be expected. As a result, it’s never been more important to know where the model’s innovation ends and where ours begins.
In the next 12 months, expect more model specialisation for agentic use cases, new “AI-native” UIs, a boom in open source and the emergence of new architectures.
There will be loads of opportunities to take advantage of.

Startups with <20 people wondering what management practices to follow?
Should you do OKRs, DACI, single threaded leadership, QBRs, leveling etc?
The answer is: NO
You need that stuff when you are too big for founders to have full context.
Just ship and listen to customers.
