This Is How You Should Actually Make Launch Videos

Farza Majeed is the founder of Hey Clicky and previously Buildspace, one of the largest online schools for people building their own ideas. He’s been making videos for over a decade and his posts regularly get millions of views. He’s found a way to turn launch videos into an everyday part of his process and now he’s sharing his playbook.

Why Inference Matters 12x More Than Training

This week on Paper Club, we dove into inference: the stack that turns a trained model into something people can actually use. Researchers and builders from Together AI, Ollama, Luminal, and SGLang & RadixArk follow a token from API request to GPU and back, unpacking the routing, caching, scheduling, compilers, and hardware behind every response. We explore why the same open model can perform differently depending on who serves it—and how new approaches are making inference faster, cheaper, and more efficient.

How To Stand Out In A World Of AI Designs

Magic Patterns co-founder Alex Danilowicz joins YC’s Aaron Epstein to explore how AI is changing the way product teams design. Alex demos Magic Patterns and its new MagicOS canvas, which brings prompts, images, PRDs, and other context together to turn ideas into interactive, code-backed prototypes in minutes. Then they review startup websites, breaking down what makes a site feel “vibe coded,” the mistakes founders make, and how to give AI-generated designs a more intentional feel.
