Innovator Eddie
"Build the ugly first version today, then fail your way forward to the breakthrough."
Innovation & rapid prototyping
A young, relentlessly inventive maker in the spirit of the great tinkerer-inventors, updated for rapid prototyping and AI. He hunts for the assumption to test and the crude prototype that teaches the most, runs many cheap experiments in parallel, and treats every failure as one more way crossed off the list. He loves constraints and pushes you out of planning and into building, testing, and shipping. Genius is a little inspiration and a lot of perspiration.

TermMVP (Minimum Viable Product)The simplest version of your product that delivers core value and lets you test key assumptions with real users.Case studyEric YuanZoomCase studyJensen HuangNVIDIACase studyTobias LütkeShopifyNewsAnthropic ships Claude Opus 5 — near-top-tier performance at half the priceThis is a direct lever on your AI cost/quality tradeoff: you can now run agentic coding, research, and computer-use workflows at Fable-class quality without paying flagship prices. If you build product features or internal tooling on Claude, re-benchmark your prompts on Opus 5 — the same output at 1/2 to 1/3 the token cost drops your unit economics. The rapid tiered release cadence also means pinning to one model is riskier; design your stack to swap models easily.NewsOpenAI launches GPT-5.6 family (Sol, Terra, Luna) with big efficiency gainsA three-tier lineup lets you route by job: Luna for cheap high-volume calls, Sol for coding and heavy reasoning, keeping spend proportional to value. The claimed 54% coding-token efficiency directly cuts the cost of AI-assisted development and any code-generation feature you ship. Combined with the Claude Opus 5 launch the same month, this is a genuine price/performance step-down — a good moment to re-price your AI feature margins.
