Why it matters

On 2026-05-10 Gavriel Cohen announced he will share a stage in Singapore next week with Singapore's Minister of Foreign Affairs, and said the minister published a gist two weeks earlier.

Key details

  • swyx tweeted that Singapore's Foreign Minister (handle @VivianBala) is a "huge NanoClaw fan" and will keynote AIDOTENGINEER Singapore; NanoClaw creator @Gavriel_Cohen is scheduled to speak immediately after, with @agrimsingh and @SherryYanJiang credited for securing the speaker.
  • swyx framed this as part of rising government engagement with @aiDotEngineer, noting the UK is represented by a Chief AI Officer and Singapore by a Cabinet Minister as example use cases for international AIE partnerships.

OK I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED i could barely keep this a secret all week and it's finally official

MY HOME COUNTRY'S MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS (equiv to Secretary of State) IS A HUGE NANOCLAW FAN (check @VivianBala, that's really him, not an intern) AND WILL BE KEYNOTING @AIDOTENGINEER SINGAPORE (with NanoClaw creator @Gavriel_Cohen right after) NEXT WEEK

Usecases like his are what I have been hoping to promote with the international AIE partnerships and @agrimsingh and @SherryYanJiang crushed it with this one.

governments waking up to AI and joining @aiDotEngineer:

UK: Chief AI Officer
Singapore: Cabinet Minister

who's next??
