Your monitoring tools already tell you when something's broken.

What if they just... fixed it?

That's the pitch for Datadog's Bits Code, an agent embedded across their entire platform to catch issues, investigate them, write fixes, and even open a PR before an engineer has even read the alert.

Full demo from @OliverKorzen and Bits Code PM Mike Leach 👇👇👇

Pod!*

* this week in AI is my new Roundtable focused exclusively on AI

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

BREAKING: @Jason delivers a commencement speech amid widespread booing at graduations across the US over mentions of AI

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

"Big tech doesn't want to train people anymore. They're taking their 10x employees and making them 11x, 12x, 13x." - @Jason

This week's roundtable:
1. Kanjun Qiu @kanjun, CEO of @imbue_ai, open source agents.
2. Jeremy Fraenkel @fraenkelj, CEO of Fundamental, large tabular models for enterprise data.
3. Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen, CEO of @linear, product development system for teams and agents.

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

"AI is decoupling labor from value creation. The capitalist system incentivizes people to do great labor because people who do great labor are rewarded greatly. And in a world where that is not true anymore, we need to think hard about how to make a smooth transition."

@ML_Angelopolous on the structural problem AI creates that nobody is solving yet.

@Jason @arena

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

"The 1% aren't going to be able to just afford a G650. They're going to be able to afford a $10 million data center for themselves" - @Jason

This week's roundtable:
1. Anastasios Angelopoulos @ML_Angelopolous, CEO of @arena.
2. Nick Harris @theanalognick, CEO of @LightmatterCo, photonic computing chips.
3. Philip Johnston @philipjohnston, CEO of @Starcloud_, building megawatt data centers in space.

"You'll be able to do anything you want. Complete utter abundance. I want to build a sculpture garden in my backyard. And I also want a rope course. Go build this playhouse for the kids. And it just happens."

@theanalognick on what the near future will look like with cheap AI and robotics.

@Jason @LightmatterCo

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

"AI is going to be the last technological innovation. There's nothing beyond this."

@NaveenGRao is rethinking the computer from first principles to make compute more power efficient for AI at @unconvAI. @TreyHolterman is automating healthcare's referral black hole at @TennrOfficial.

Every SaaS subscription is really just renting GPU time

The internet made bandwidth so cheap it became almost invisible. GPU costs are heading the same way. When that happens, software pricing changes completely.

@gsivulka @Hebbia

[@jason @Jason]

My new roundtable, This Week in AI, just hit 11 episodes, and we are getting the greatest minds every week.... week after week.

If you want to go deep on AI, it's worth subscribing... thanks, @matanSF, @dsa, and @gsivulka, for a great discussion this week!

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

"Any feature we release, a competitor could release within two weeks."

Claude is down across all of its products.
This is why you need to be model agnostic.

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

LiveKit is the infrastructure behind ChatGPT Voice Mode, Grok, and Tesla.

Russ d'Sa (@dsa) is building the backbone for voice, video and physical AI at @livekit. He joins @jason to talk about how a demo that got 100 likes on @X ended up powering ChatGPT Voice Mode, what the trial of despair does to a founder's psychology, and why voice AI is just getting started.

This Week in AI Episode 11 out tomorrow at 8 AM PT.

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

Finance runs on information. The banks and funds that get to answers first win. AI is now the edge.

George Sivulka (@gsivulka) is building that edge at @Hebbia. He joins @jason to talk about why high-stakes finance is the perfect vertical for AI agents and what it means to build a moat when the models themselves are becoming commodities.

This Week in AI Episode 11 out tomorrow at 8 AM PT.

[Oliver Korzen @OliverKorzen]

@ThisWeeknAI @twistartups @matanSF @FactoryAI @Jason Thanks for joining @matanSF!

[This Week in AI @ThisWeeknAI]

Vibe coding gave everyone a superpower, but most developers are drowning in the code slop they created.

Matan Grinberg (@matanSF) is building the answer at @FactoryAI. He joins @jason to talk about why vibe coding is creating as many problems as it solves, what it actually takes to build a moat in the application layer, and why being model agnostic is more important than ever.

This Week in AI Episode 11 out tomorrow at 8 AM PT.

[Oliver Korzen @OliverKorzen]
