Aman @_amankishoreI was the first DAU of Niteshift. Over the last year it became clear that Niteshift is building the future of engineering. I’m excited to join the mission and work with the most ambitious companies. If you want to help define the future, let's chat!
Shannon Shen @shannonzshenWe let agent swarms collaborate for 10K hours in simulated agent-owned GitHubs. Gemini-3.8-flash collaborate the best while gpt-6-astra scores the worst among frontier models tested⁉️ What are the elements of successful agent collaboration at scale? Check World of SWECraft 🧵
Ayan @ayanobacterMy first piece for the @AmplifyPartners Writing Fellowship is out: The Fertility of an Idea It traces the lineage of optogenetics and argues that great science grows the way living things do, across time, people, instruments, branching and borrowing, and that this should shape how we build AI for science. I’m grateful to @dbeyer123, @madelynheart_ and @ElliotHershberg at Amplify for their time and support along the way, and a very big thank you to the inimitable @barsisyphus who edited the piece with lots of care.
Barry McCardel @barraldIn May, we had just closed our best quarter ever – and of course decided to re-build @hexanalytics from scratch. Today we're announcing two things: Hex 4.0, the first analytics platform truly built for agents; and a $100m fundraise at a $1.2B valuation, led by @peakxvpartners The world is changing fast, and we're not slowing down!

Hex @hexanalyticsToday we’re announcing our $100M raise, led by @peakxvpartners and @137ventures, with @AvraCap, @a16z, @sequoia, @Redpoint, @ZeroPrimeVC, and @AmplifyPartners all joining the round. And that’s not all: we’re also launching Hex 4.0, a new foundation built for agents. Everything is code, so agents can work with your data and people can verify every number. This round lets us keep building on that foundation without slowing down growth or hiring. More on Hex 4.0 later today. We’re deeply grateful to the 2,500+ teams building on Hex. There’s still so much to build, and it’s never been a better time to work with data. Hear more from our CEO, @barrald →
sisyphus bar and grill @barsisyphusThe birth of optogenetics, whose pioneers won the Nobel Prize this year (!), is interesting because it developed almost randomly. The history of this field (from @ayanobacter) can help us truly understand discovery...and train better AI for science.
