The latest episode of the Lightcone podcast is all about AI. Garry, Diana, Jared, and Harj kick things off with some never-before-seen videos generated by OpenAI’s Sora, then dive into some of the incredible things that other YC companies are doing with their own AI models.

One common thread throughout the episode: many of these new AI companies are doing tremendous work without a tremendous amount of time or money. By combining YC’s resources with their own ingenuity and industry insights, these founders are finding ways to do a lot more for less, and fast.

Diana wrote up a post highlighting 25 of these AI companies and what they’re building — find it here!
