Introducing Poetic: a new AI system that executes complex... multi-hour tasks with 99%+ accuracy and 10x fewer tokens than agents. We raised $50M at $500M from Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, First Harmonic, and Genius Ventures to build AI that does complex work inside Fortune 500 companies without hallucination. While code is too brittle, agents are too unpredictable. The work that runs the global economy - anti-money laundering, fraud investigations, underwriting - needs extreme accuracy. So we built a new kind of software that pairs the flexibility of AI with the predictability of code. When the world stays the same, Poetic runs fixed code: fast, cheap, identical every time. When the world changes, Poetic uses AI to regenerate its approach and find its way back to the objective. In one year, we went from zero to an eight-figure run rate as a team of four. Since then, we’ve scaled the team and executed the highest-stakes processes at AIG, SoFi, and Chime. At SoFi, a large US bank, Poetic reached 99%+ quality on fraud investigations in five weeks.show more

Thrilled to announce that Trucksmarter has joined Poetic. Dan... Kao will lead operations, and the rest of the team will focus on accelerating our work in supply chain. Dan is a force of nature. He got his start as DoorDash’s youngest GM, where he ran all of Canada. He then led one of Uber’s largest business units, scaling freight from zero to $500M+ revenue. We met years ago through Founders Fund, who backed us both. I watched Trucksmarter grow to a $500M+ lending business, serve 1M+ truckers, and facilitate billions of transactions. The most important companies on earth run as a collection of thousands of archaic processes. Poetic learns each one from experts, translates it into self-healing code, and proposes improvements so companies can evolve past where they got stuck. As we began running core operations at the largest manufacturers, we realized it was possible to leapfrog old approaches to classic problems like scheduling, forecasting, and procurement. To move faster, we needed a team who knew the industry deeply. We’re lucky Dan and the team decided to join the fight.show more

in software, we're entering a new age of skyscrapers:... rather than a small group of humans hand-typing code into a computer, software is now built by thousands of humans and agents working together to build applications at a scale that was previously unthinkable. the unsung heroes of this new era are infrastructure engineers. they are the people who are figuring out how to make software with 100x the amount of code, and 1000x the amount of contributors actually work OpenAI is one of the few companies already operating at this scale so we Every 📧 spent a few days deep inside of the company to learn how their infrastructure team thinks about building software skyscrapers—and how they use agents to do it one of the most important articles we've written this year:show more

Today, we are announcing that we've raised $20 million... from Union Square Ventures, Lightspeed, Y Combinator, Jeff Dean, Patrick Collison, John Collison, and others. We built an AI agent that connects to every tool you use at work, automates workflows across all of them, runs code when it needs to, and generates custom UIs on the fly that work with your actual systems and data. We hit $5M ARR and have had 1,200% growth this year. Read more atshow more

Maestro was rebuilt around agents. Not as an AI... company. We don’t sell AI products. Maestro Machina is the operating layer underneath the business: -How we write software -Run departments -Keep every product detail, client conversation, and decision in one shared knowledge base Builder agents watch code quality and deployments in a loop that improves itself. Product agents sit inside design, sales, onboarding, and research. Knowledge agents make the company’s memory available to both. Humans still set the intent. Agents industrialize the work. One system. One mission. Build a financial system backed by energy and anchored by Bitcoin.show more

I’m incredibly proud to share that OpenAI chose Brex... to power their global spend and financial operations. When you're building at the frontier of AI and scaling global teams and infrastructure at an unprecedented pace like OpenAI is, Finance can't be the thing that slows you down. You need spend visibility the moment it happens, controls that enforce themselves, and agentic workflows that eliminate the manual work so your team stays focused on driving the business forward. We were so impressed by OpenAI’s rigor in evaluating every solution in the market, and whether they align to the agentic future OpenAI is building. Their decision to run on Brex is a huge testament to our AI roadmap and vision for the future of Finance. We started Brex around a simple idea: companies shouldn't have to choose between speed and control. There's no company in the world where that tradeoff matters more than OpenAI. We are honored to support them as they build the future. The best AI companies in the world, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Vercel, Granola, Sierra, and Mercor choose Brex over every alternative for that exact reason. If you want to understand who’s truly building the future of AI in Finance, follow the customers you admire the most – not the hype.show more

Valthos builds next-generation biodefense. Of all AI applications, biotechnology... has the highest upside and most catastrophic downside. Heroes at the frontlines of biodefense are working every day to protect the world against the worst case. But the pace of biotech is against them: more powerful methods to design biological systems, with near-universal access, open up an increasing surface area of threats. In this new world, the only way forward is to be faster. So we set out to build the tech stack for biodefense. Our team of computational biologists and software engineers applies frontier AI to identify biological threats and update medical countermeasures in real-time. We are backed by $30M from OpenAI, Lux Capital, Founders Fund and others including Definition. We are actively hiring engineers to join in the mission - if that sounds like you, get in touch.show more

300 AI AGENTS QUIETLY RUN 99% OF A REAL... COMPANY. YOU HAVE NOT EVEN HEARD OF IT This is Raft. Not an AI chat. A workspace where the agents live in your channels and reply in the thread like coworkers. You give one goal. Then they take over. They plan. They build. They check each other. They argue. And they come back with it done, while you sleep. Every agent has its own name, role, and memory. It remembers the edits you made yesterday. A human costs one seat. An agent costs a tenth. Ten agents are cheaper than one hire. And here is the strange part. On June 19 an agent from a different company walked into Raft on its own and joined the team. One founder admits he can no longer always tell himself apart from his AI twin. 20,000 people are already inside. It is free to start. And you are still typing prompts one at a time. One person + Raft = an entire company that runs while you sleep. Save and watch the clip.show more

EXCUSE ME?? IQuest raised a 320B model from its... very first token, then gave it over a million exams with three proctors on every single one the exams are real executable containers. one check runs while the environment gets prepped, one while the code executes, and a full trajectory audit after. if the model tries to peek at hidden tests, it gets flagged, so every pass it learns from is earned it's called IQuest-Q1, an open model built to live in your terminal → 15B active out of 320B, only 8 of 256 experts per token → 29T training tokens, context stretched 32K → 128K → 512K → SFT, RL in real environments, then multi-teacher distillation (MOPD) → runs inside Claude Code, Codex and other agent scaffolds my favorite speed trick: an MTP layer gets reused as a drafter that guesses the next tokens, and the main model checks them. long sessions get way cheaper on the same parameter budget the team calls this an early release. a first model with training this strict makes me want to see the second one try it:show more

Today, we're announcing a $60M Series B led by... Battery Ventures, bringing our total funding to $85M in just under a year. Also joining the round are founders and operators who’ve built generational companies of the last two decades – tobi lutke (CEO, Shopify), arash ferdowsi (Dropbox), Claire Hughes Johnson (Stripe), and more. The round came together in 6 days. Here's why. Every major category in enterprise software is seeing multiple AI-native challengers. CRM, ERP, ITSM – all being rebuilt from scratch by a new generation of companies applying AI to solve persistent problems we couldn’t before. Employee Management (also known as HCM) is the exception. It’s the last frontier, and we believe the most important one. The operating layer to manage people, run payroll, benefits, compliance, and IT, for every company in the world, is still built on architecture that predates AI by decades. This fundraise is the story of how Warp is changing that. The average Warp customer is growing 5x faster than their peers, with 1/10th of the HR and admin overhead. We’re seeing a massive shift happening in how the best companies run their people operations. From the fastest-growing AI-startups to massive public companies, the winning teams are running lean: HR, finance, and ops generalists who automate as much as possible, and use their time instead for strategic work that AI can’t automate. Warp is the platform of choice for ambitious companies operating at this new pace. Legacy HCMs help humans track the work. Warp uses AI to proactively complete the work. Workday was built for the last era. We're building for the next one. And it’s working. We've – - Doubled ARR in Q1 - On track to $2B+ payroll volume this year - Signed enterprise customers with thousands of employees - Launched entire product lines back-to-back: Warp benefits brokerage and Warp Fabric (our AI-native IT automation suite built in-house). A few thank-yous: 1. Our customers, the fastest-growing companies in the world, who trust us with their most critical systems. We wouldn't be here without you. 2. Our team - 50+ people in NYC who've built this platform, taken on the hardest problems in business-critical software. We're just getting started. 3. Our investors doubling down in this round, and some of our earliest believers – Sound Ventures (ashton kutcher, Effie Epstein), Derek Grant, (Arnav Sahu), Harj Taggar at Y Combinator, Balaji, Kevin Hartz, Kyle Vogt, Amjad Masad, HOF Capital (Fady Yacoub), colinevans (OpenAI) We're here to arm ambitious American companies with Workday-grade power, but with the usability and delight of an Apple product. With this new funding, we plan to fund deeper AI agents, tax and compliance infrastructure, expand our product suite, and support even closely our fast-growing customers. Come join us.show more

Today, we’re excited to introduce Agentic Pentesting on the... depthfirst platform. Agentic Pentesting involves autonomous agents that attack your running application like a team of elite security researchers. Security teams can: - Find complex vulnerabilities in systems and running applications, with or without source code access - Confirm whether findings from code scans and other sources can be exploited at runtime - Run ad hoc agentic pentests or integrate them into CI/CD for new feature releases - Create tickets in Jira or Linear, or use depthfirst to autonomously remediate vulnerabilities - Replay an attack after remediation to verify that the vulnerability has been fixed We built Agentic Pentesting in close collaboration with our customers. We’re grateful to every security and engineering team that helped shape the product and to the depthfirst team that brought it to life. Learn more from the links in the comments.show more

You've probably scrolled past a dozen posts about Jev... this week without anyone telling you what it actually is. It's the first model from TypeSafe, a lab started by one of the researchers behind ChatGPT. It's a decision engine: you give it options, it picks one and tells you how sure it is. It cannot write a single word, and that is the interesting part. Every other AI you use writes. That is the whole interface. So when software needs a plain yes or no, we make a model write a paragraph and then dig the answer back out of it. Fine in a chat window where a human reads it. Bad inside software, where code has to act on it. The bet is that the valuable half was never the writing. It was the deciding. That problem showed up in WordPress years ago, and it is the reason WPVibe works the way it does. The AI does the work. Anything permanent stops and waits, because a delete that skips the trash is not something software should decide on its own.show more

ANTHROPIC JUST TURNED AI AGENTS INTO GIT REPOS Anthropic... shipped "ant" - a CLI that runs every Claude API endpoint straight from your terminal. The headline isn't the terminal access. It's that you can now version-control an AI agent as YAML in Git and have CI sync it to the Claude Platform, the same way you ship code. - Every API resource is a subcommand: messages, models, files, agents, sessions - Define an agent in a YAML file, check it into your repo, and keep it in sync with one update command - Spin up a session, send it an event, then pull every event and tool call back from the same CLI - Claude Code knows how to drive ant out of the box - it shells out and reads the results with no glue code Agents just stopped being prompts you babysit and became infrastructure you deploy.show more
