We’re feeling cynical about xAI’s big deal with Anthropic
On the latest episode of the Equity podcast, we discussed what xAI's deal with Anthropic might mean for parent company SpaceX.

At TechCrunch's sold-out StrictlyVC event in San Francisco on Thursday night, we covered a lot of ground in a short time, beginning with the question everyone in the industry is asking right now: in a world where rival Cursor is reportedly in talks to be acquired by SpaceX for $60 billion, is Replit also bound to sell?

I counted at least 10 events in San Francisco last night aimed at matching AI startups with VCs. Just another Thursday. But what made Camp AI’s “Agents at Work” event (hosted by Auth0) stand out was its showcase of companies that are in various stages of reorganizing their engineering processes around AI agents. Browserbase, Mastra, Fireworks AI, Drata, Mya, MindFort, and Corridor are all part of the vendor ecosystem trying to enable secure and performant agentic AI, but the most revelatory stories were their own successes and the challenges they faced restructuring their engineering orgs for agents. Agentic AI is reshaping team structures Paul Klein IV, founder and CEO of Browserbase, delivered the night’s most memorable line while discussing the speed of AI adoption inside engineering teams. “If AI is not doing your whole job it’s a skill issue at this point,” said Klein. Abhi Aiyer, founder and CTO of Mastra, said the result is dramatically smaller teams capable of executing much l
A preliminary Apple-Intel manufacturing agreement—backed by a White House push—sent Intel stock above $130 on Friday.
Echoing concerns from other security experts, Orange Cyberdefense (OC) recently warned that employees have become the biggest security threat faced by business. Now, in the latest illustration of its ongoing security response, Apple is putting new protections in place in macOS 26.4 that should help – but employee education remains critical as hackers turn to complex, multi-stage, social engineering attacks to infest systems with malware. Your people are your weakness The data tells its own story. OC explains: Employees account for 57% of all security incidents and 45% of these incidents come when workers bypass or ignore security policies by, for example, using unapproved tools. Attackers are actively searching for and exploiting those kinds of policy workarounds, seeking weaknesses in commonly used, but unapproved, tools. Users really should educate themselves. While companies can put some mitigations in place using device management and policy controls to constrain app use and down
Ripple now appears alongside heavyweights like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Check out how.

Inference efficiency has quietly become one of the most consequential bottlenecks in AI deployment. As agentic coding systems such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor scale from developer tools to infrastructure powering software development at large, the underlying inference engines serving those requests are under increasing strain. The LightSeek Foundation researchers have released TokenSpeed, an […] The post LightSeek Foundation Releases TokenSpeed, an Open-Source LLM Inference Engine Targeting TensorRT-LLM-Level Performance for Agentic Workloads appeared first on MarkTechPost.
