Elevator Pitch
As models got better at code and math, their writing got more robotic. YC sees room for a startup that builds a model people actually enjoy reading and talking to.

Full Description
YC argues that today's models sound more robotic than the 2024–2025 models, and that this is structural rather than a passing glitch: the reward signals that make models good at code also flatten voice and style. When forced to choose, the major labs will prioritize coding and agentic workflows, which leaves writing quality behind.
The ask: a startup that cares about a model with real voice and style, one that people like talking to.
