Compare that to a software bug where when the code runs, it does something verifiably wrong. That bug is gonna be much easier for AI to fix than the much more intangible marketing issue. And while I don't believe that that means that this sort of self-driving should be enginee...
“But it's not just totally new efforts that are seeing the impact of new agentic ways of working. In fact, as cool as some of these brand new startup style experiments are, ultimately their examples can be a little bit hard to see how they apply to today's existing companies, w...”
“It feels like a single master intelligence threaded through every employee, even though it is not. It is an expanding system of agents operating across the company. Taking goals from people, gathering context, performing work, checking the results, and escalating when human ju...”
“They feel like they've been promoted. This is the story of how AI has completely changed the way that we work at Replit. Engineering saw the impact first. In late January, we turned up infrastructure to experiment with internal agent use cases quickly. We leveraged our agent h...”
“Their company's gonna start making long horizon agents for things like a mortgage or things like, hey, apply to your healthcare company. And so you don't have to do those crazy long steps.”
“But based on this data, perhaps it actually would be helpful to go and iterate and iterate and iterate and loop and loop and loop. And so this sort of approach to AI loop, I think, will be that type of development experience. It will still be the brains of the researcher. It w...”
“So the, the system designs the experiments, it gives instructions. There's like, oh, people need to actually do this thing. So you get— you recruit some of the staff to go and do that thing.”
“Yeah, well, phrasing. I think that, again, we want to spend resources where it makes sense to spend resources and make rational decisions. And sometimes it just doesn't make sense to try and automate a step when a person can do it in a 10th of a second. But what matters is tha...”
“Like, they released GPT-5.6 with 3— on a more broadly released sense anyways. This is, you know, the 3 flavors that we've talked about: Sol, which is most powerful; Luna, which is faster, it's for speed; Terra, which is like the middle ground or a balance point. And SOL, they ...”
“But that can kind of open Claude's way through all of these different things for you, right? Into your file structure, into all of your important places online as data sources, and become the place that you do all your business. Like I talked last week, that's largely what I u...”
“Importantly, and this was not consensus at the time, Swyx wrote, I think it is a full-time job. I think software engineering will spawn a new subdiscipline specializing in applications of AI and wielding the emerging stack effectively, just as site reliability engineer, DevOps...”
“It's about the harness and broader system that the agent operates in. That includes, yes, access to context and data, but also access to skills, ability to interact with tools, and increasingly, ability to route between different models based on the task at hand. Now, Richard ...”
“Richard writes that at the event this year, agents were largely positioned as augmenting the AI engineer rather than replacing them. This was a big part of the substance of the day 2 keynote with OpenAI's Romain Hewitt, who said software ate the world and then AI ate software....”

With how much we're still learning and how models are improving, it's clear this is only the beginning. Section: Beyond Engineering and Into the Whole Business. A self-driving company doesn't stop at engineering. Every function at Replit is changing. Usage spread quickly out o...
It's time you add agents that feel like teammates. Hire yours at HyperAgent, built by the team at Airtable. Claim your $1,000 in inference at hyperagent.com/AIDailyBrief. All right. So I think this is both a super interesting case study, but also even more than that, frankly, ...
Yeah, thank you. I love the game Chroma Chameleon. If you haven't played it or seen videos of it, the videos are absolutely hilarious. It's like a prop hunt where you run around as a character and you kind of pose and then you paint on yourself to try to blend in with your sur...
Sort of asking people to apply that AI concept to their legacy way of building applications will end up slowing them down, right? End up creating challenges. And so the opportunity and what I get to really focus on every single day is asking the questions, you know, great, I u...

We are seeing the opportunities for AI-based applications to evolve and grow into a similar way that cloud-based opportunities back in the early days grew and evolved
When you, when you talk about that kind of AI-centric approach that you're taking, With a lot of people, and we certainly are guilty of it on the show, like people here, for a long time we were talking about the latest models coming out and we were in that. And the last year i...
🔬 The Lab of the Future Should Feel Like a Data Center — Andy Beam & Rafa Gómez-Bombarelli, Lila Sciences
We think that like the lab of the future should feel like a data center, rows of server racks as densely packed as possible and also as energy efficient as possible and things like that.
This is going to be a boring and obvious one, but like, um, there's a metric that you use to track how efficient your training runs are. Um, it's called mean flop utilization or MFU. So the GPU comes with an advertised like peak flop throughput, which is under the best situati...

Is Kimi K3 Really Fable Class?
In fact, as we've been discussing fine-tunes of open models like Cursor's Composer 2.5, they tend to be built around a KIMI base. On Wednesday, the KIMI K3 teaser started coming in a serious way. AI leaker Leo Synthwave wrote, I think KIMI K3 is going to shock some of the Chin...
As for features, KIMI-K3 supports a million-token context window and native image inputs alongside text. It uses a mixture of experts architecture, which has become standard for both open source and proprietary models since it was introduced by DeepSeek. And the benchmarks, we...
But it's not as cheap as free and probably too big to run locally unless you're like some sort of billionaire who fights robots in their spare time. You know, robots like this.
It could be hitting next week. And wouldn't that make sense, Gavin? As we see, everybody goes open source, open weights, open this. It's always 6 months behind. And now look at this.

The Future of AI Infrastructure with CoreWeave
I think we will go through the same progression with AI and probably faster to the point where we will have AI engineering teams at every single enterprise company
Earlier, you talked a little bit about how us humans, the meatbags, are harder to change in terms of adapting to a new process or adapting to to use new technology. The last 2 are very, very interesting because changing roles is key. And I think this is probably the hardest th...

Is Kimi K3 Really Fable Class?
Will China start to care about cyber risk? Since policy has been emergent, I guess no one knows. All of this points to the need for some sort of international cooperation on model vetting. I don't really understand why she is still allowing KIMI to release such powerful open m...
a framework for frontier AI and a dawning of a new age. And what this post lays out basically is finally a way for these companies to kind of come together and maybe start to help self-regulate.
It's gotta draw differentiation somewhere. And even if the enterprises are valuable now, one of the unique things that OpenAI has that Anthropic doesn't is the consumer base. So maybe they feel it's important to actually have an answer to how to monetize that user base, and de...
