What signals (charts!) of the future are people watching? I find myself checking @OpenRouter rankings: openrouter.ai/rankings (Just a few days into September, but tracking at 27x y/y growth. Both a reflection of the natural demand for tokens and their product excellence.)↗

"The age of the solopreneur" by @stripe's in-house economist @ernietedeschi. stripeeconomics.com/p/the-age-of-t… and some of the charts to save you a click.↗

introducing, the @stripe directory: from the cli, people and agents can search for, and pay, businesses on stripe. > stripe search "serverless postgres database" - payments between two stripe users are free - includes mpp and projects services - join by creating a profile =>↗

Today, @OpenAI launched their Agents SDK developer framework. Until now, agents have mostly been chat-oriented (chat in, chat out), but agents will increasingly be action-oriented (data in, action out). We, @stripe, would love to show you a few financial agents we’ve built! ⤵️↗
