Today's sponsor is worth checking out if you're building with AI.
You've seen the AI demos. Viktor does it without you watching.
The AI tool you tried last quarter waited for a prompt, hallucinated a number, then asked if you'd like a summary.
Viktor opened a PR at 2am, rebased it against main, ran your test suite, and posted a note in #eng: "Two flaky tests in payments service, both pre-existing. Recommended merging after fixing them." Then drafted the customer reply for the support ticket the bug created.
That's 619K autonomous actions per day across 20,000+ teams. Not chat replies. Real work shipped to GitHub, Stripe, Linear, Notion, and 3,000+ other tools, from inside Slack and Microsoft Teams.
You don't supervise him any more than you supervise a senior engineer.
SOC 2 certified. Your data never trains models.
"It's what you probably originally thought AI was going to be when you first heard of it in sci-fi movies." Tyler, CEO.
LATEST AI NEWS
META & ANTHROPIC

Meta is in early talks to lease AI computing power to Anthropic in a deal that could be worth up to $10 billion over two years, marking a major shift as the company looks to monetize its massive AI infrastructure.
The Details:
Anthropic reportedly approached Meta in June with a proposal to rent AI compute capacity.
The agreement could be worth up to $10 billion, with payments made monthly over a two-year period.
The talks are still preliminary, and either company could walk away before a final deal is signed.
If completed, it would be Meta's first major external AI infrastructure customer, expanding beyond its own internal AI workloads.
Meta has been investing heavily in AI infrastructure, with plans to spend up to $145 billion on capital expenditures this year.
The move aligns with CEO Mark Zuckerberg's vision of turning Meta into a provider of AI cloud infrastructure alongside companies like CoreWeave and Nebius.
Why it matters:
The AI race is no longer just about building better models. It's becoming a race to own and monetize the computing infrastructure that powers them, opening a potential new multi-billion-dollar business for Meta.
MOONSHOT

Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 has become the latest breakthrough to shake the AI industry, with researchers calling it a potential "Sputnik moment" for China's AI ecosystem and a serious challenge to U.S. dominance.
The Details:
Kimi K3 is a 2.8 trillion-parameter open-weight model, the largest of its kind released so far.
Moonshot says the model matches or outperforms leading U.S. systems on coding, spreadsheet analysis, and reasoning tasks.
Just three days after launch, Moonshot paused new user registrations after demand pushed its compute infrastructure to capacity.
Scientists describe the release as a turning point, saying China is now competing at the AI frontier rather than trailing U.S. labs.
Kimi K3 follows a string of major Chinese releases, including DeepSeek and Alibaba's Qwen3.8 Max, intensifying global competition.
The model's debut has sparked fresh debate in Washington over how to respond to the rapid rise of Chinese open-weight AI.
Why it matters:
The global AI race is no longer centered on Silicon Valley alone. Kimi K3 shows that Chinese AI labs are now setting the pace alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, making the competition faster, more global, and increasingly driven by open-weight models.
