Always bet on the Web(MCP)

Hey there,

Google Chrome shipped WebMCP in early preview this week. It's a W3C standard that lets any website expose structured tools directly to AI agents through a browser API. No MCP server required.

Platform shifts build on existing networks. What's more likely — every company builds their own MCP server, or agents get good at using the web that already exists? MCP adoption is growing fast but it's still a tiny fraction of companies. WebMCP bets on the existing network. Always bet on the web.

A few other big moves this week:

​OpenAI acquired OpenClaw — Peter Steinberger joins to build "the next generation of personal agents." OpenClaw moves to an open-source foundation. 180K GitHub stars, fastest-growing repo in GitHub history. OSS Agent orchestration is valuable enough to acquire now.

​Anthropic raised $30B at $380B — I listened to Dario Amodei's latest podcast where he says we're "near the end of the exponential" in raw model capabilities. The interesting thing about exponentials with limits: they hit those limits very quickly. We'll know soon whether there are real limits stopping digital god, or we'll have AGI.

​Gemini 3 Deep Think got a major upgrade — 84.6% on ARC-AGI-2, 3455 Elo on Codeforces, gold-medal at IMO 2025, 48.4% on Humanity's Last Exam. API access is still behind an early access form — worth signing up if you're doing anything with complex reasoning.

Worth a look: Mixedbread — upload your docs (PDFs, audio, video, whatever) and get a search API back. Done-for-you knowledge base with adapters across formats.

That's all for now. Keep shipping.
