SpaceX to buy AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion. It was mentioned in April they had secured an option to either acquire Cursor for $60 billion, or pay $10 billion for their new partnership. Seems they went the $60B way

He’s not wrong… so many of these are “pay to win”, they have 0 value/meaning
Easy way to be better at your cybersecurity job: Remove all vendors that have these stupid fake awards. They're showing that they're willing to lie to you, and you should believe them.
Don't believe me? Screenshot taken from a Delve customer.

Using a "panel" of LLMs as been discussed for a while as a way to get better results. fusion seems like the "productization" of that idea.

Introducing the Fusion API, the smartest compound model in the market.
Fusion achieves Fable-level intelligence at half the price.

You have Claude Fable for only a few days. Here's how to make the most of it.
Introducing /improve: use your most capable model to audit your codebase and write plans for cheaper models to execute later.
Studies your code, figures out bugs, perf, tech debt, missing tests, what to build and writes plans any agent can run.

“Mythos-level intelligence” aka it’s not Mythos being released today but a feature limited version similar to Mythos.

So Mythos might get released today, time to grab some Popcorn and watch on X the over hyped and "it sucks" sides arguing with each other.

Two of our worst VC stories:
1. A Sequoia partner passed on Cloudflare because he didn’t think a woman could lead a security infrastructure company. Seriously. 🙄
2. I got introduced to @pmarca. Meeting got scheduled for a Monday, which should have been a clue. I thought it was just a casual meeting. He thought it was a pitch and brought the whole @a16z partnership team. Hilarity ensued. 🤪 At one point one of them said: “You don’t seem very prepared.” Which was true because I wasn’t. I framed the rejection letter they sent.

I was once pitching in a board room at a top 3 VC firm for a $15M Series A.
12 people in the meeting. One of the GPs fully fell asleep. Out cold for 30 minutes. Nobody acknowledged it. Everyone just kept going.
I kept presenting my Series A slides to an unconscious man in a Herman Miller chair and somehow that was considered normal. That's venture capital.
You might fly across the country to perform for people who may or may not be conscious.
It's a dance.
And sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow and sometimes your partner is unconscious.
If you're raising right now, just know: every founder has a story like this. The process is weird. The power dynamic is weird. You're not crazy for thinking it's weird.
No one talks about it because they want to continue raising. But I'm happy to stick my neck out there.
It is weird.

"Urgent Security Notice re: Your Sentry Organization"
Someone tried to hack Sentry-using apps that use coding agents by
1. Sending a fake bug alert to their project (all you need is the app's public Data Source Name)
2. The fake bug tried tricking a coding agent trying to fix it into installing some a compromised NPM package
3. The compromised package would send the env contents of the machine to advisory-tracker[.]com/api/v1/telemetry
This highlights a crucial thing for using agents in an automated way:

VS Code (and assuming forks eventually) will by default implement a 2 hour cooldown period on extension updates. Progress!

My best advice for AI agent security is to not trust anyone who claims they know how to solve AI agent security.
There are so many hard problems in this space, and anyone who claims otherwise doesn't know what they're doing.

We've changed the trigger word from "workflow" to "ultracode".
You can still say "use a workflow for this", but when you're clearly referring to something else, Claude won't kick off a dynamic workflow. For an explicit trigger, use "ultracode". We appreciate the feedback!

New in Claude Code (research preview): dynamic workflows.
Claude writes an orchestration script on the fly, then spins up a large fleet of coordinated subagents in parallel to take on your most complex tasks.
Use the word "workflow" in a prompt to get started.
