The startup starts with the premise that large language models can't remember past interactions the way humans do. If two people are chatting and the connection drops, they can resume the conversation. AI models, by contrast, forget everything and start from scratch. Mem0 fixes that. Singh calls it a "memory passport," where your AI memory travels with you across apps and agents, just like email or logins do today.
If I were like, a sports star or an artist or something, and just really cared about doing a great job at my thing, and was up at 5 am practicing free throws or whatever, that would seem pretty normal right?
Shayne Coplan, 27, is always in a hurry. Last year, he arrived at a Manhattan dinner hosted by a venture capital firm for networking, dressed in jeans and a leather jacket. He had been invited as one of the most promising entrepreneurs of the moment, but after a brief chat, he got up while the main course was being served and left for a concert in Brooklyn. At this pace, Coplan has become the world's youngest self-made billionaire.
has become the default setting for anyone who wants a piece of the Nasdaq's biggest names. Over the past decade, a bet on the QQQ has paid off handsomely. The Nasdaq has trounced the S&P 500 and almost every other ETF in that period. Year-to-date, the QQQ is up a staggering 23% as AI-related names continue to climb. Nevertheless, you should remember that the Nasdaq's performance is not due to all the stocks in the index rising in parallel.
Investors often turn to 13F filings from institutional giants to gain insights into smart money moves. These quarterly reports reveal what hedge funds, asset managers, and other big players are buying or selling, offering a window into their extensive research and analysis on companies. It's not about blindly copying their trades - after all, these filings are backward-looking and don't explain the full strategy.
Rachael McCrary, a longtime lingerie designer and founder of the company Spice Rack, is launching four videos on OnlyFans Wednesday. The videos are quite different from the usual OnlyFans fare.

She's also creating a Spice Rack x OnlyFans clothing line that will launch on the site later this year.
Immediately after Grokipedia went live, the AI-powered Wikipedia alternative was tested by numerous users. So far, a good number of testers have responded positively to the online encyclopedia, with many observing that Grokipedia does tend to be more neutral than Wikipedia. This was particularly evident in controversial topics, from alternative medicine to events like Gamergate. Among these users was Larry Sanger, who noted that while Grokipedia still has a lot of areas of improvement, it is already very promising.

AI taking entry-level jobs is a 'when,' not an 'if.' But in venture capital, 70% of the decision is reading the founder and team-and that's something AI can't do. That simple breakdown , 70% people, 30% product-flips the usual narrative about finance. For decades, finance was defined by numbers. Analysts lived and died by the spreadsheets. Today, AI can run discounted cash flows, parse a term sheet, and size a market faster than any junior associate.
Not all bridges are made of steel and concrete. In finance, many exist out of sight - invisible rails of code, APIs, and data flows connecting borrowers to lenders.

Sinead Colton Grant, the chief investment officer at BNY's wealth division, said the traditional strategy of splitting your portfolio 60% on stocks and 40% on bonds no longer yields the same returns. "What a 60/40 portfolio would have given you in the late 90s in terms of exposure to the broader global economy - that's giving you something a lot more narrow today," she said. "If you look at the changes in market structure over the last 20-plus years, they have brought us to a place where to have full exposure to the economy, you need to have exposure to private assets," she added.

When I was studying computer science at one of India's top universities, I became fascinated by startups. I was captivated by the impact startups had: the idea that you could start a company from scratch that provided outstanding services, technologies, and jobs. Naturally, I then became fascinated by Silicon Valley. That's where the top startups in the world were being formed. My goal was to build a company, and it seemed like Silicon Valley was where I needed to be.
