thirdweb's Co-Founder and CTO Resigns from Position

**Thirdweb CTO & Co-Founder Jake Loo Resigns to Go All-In on AI (Feb 26)** Jake Loo, co-founder and CTO of Web3 development tool platform thirdweb, announced his resignation on February 26. In a statement, Loo said: “At thirdweb, we’ve built and deployed multiple AI agents across our product and organizational structure. I’ve watched AI evolve from a ‘nice-to-have’ to a transformative technology that fundamentally changes how we work. This experience shifted my mindset—nothing feels more critical right now than AI. This isn’t hype: it’s brought tangible changes to how software is built and used, how teams operate, and how the entire industry is restructuring. So I’m going all-in.” ### Notes on American English adaptation: 1. **Conciseness**: Used casual contractions (*we’ve, I’ve, I’m*) common in informal-to-semi-formal statements (natural for a founder’s announcement). 2. **Flow**: Split long sentences for readability (e.g., separated the “shifted mindset” clause with an em dash, a common American news style). 3. **Terminology**: Kept industry-standard phrases (*go all-in, nice-to-have*) that resonate with U.S. tech audiences. 4. **Structure**: Added a clear headline (standard for U.S. news briefs) to lead with the key news. 5. **Date format**: Used *February 26* (full month name for clarity) but abbreviated *Feb 26* in the headline (common for brevity in fast-paced updates). All original facts are preserved, with no Chinese characters included.
