What happens when AI meets decades-old mission-critical software?

In this interview with @ShieldCap, @Code_Metal_AI CEO Peter Morales explains how we're helping modernize critical systems and why verification is becoming just as important as code generation.

[Mission Matters Podcast @Shield_Cap_Pod]

The US military still runs on code from the 1980s.

COBOL. Fortran. Ada. Compilers out of production for decades.

CEO @PeterMoralesX and the team at Code Metal are fixing it with AI and formal verification.

[Ryan Aytay @ryanaytay]

AI is rapidly creating a trust gap between what models can generate and what can be safely deploy into prod.

Closing the gap requires a new approach.

@Code_Metal_AI focuses on safely delivering the last mile for mission-critical systems and self improves over time.

[a16z @a16z]

OpenAI and Anthropic are effectively telling the market they can't solve every problem with a generic AI coworker.

You don't pour billions into massive forward-deployed joint ventures if you think the next model release is going to take care of it.

In the cloud supercycle, semis led and software followed (and you didn't need Qualcomm or ARM to tell you the value was migrating up the stack).

In AI, the infra layer itself is telling us the application layer is a separate, massive opportunity they can't fully capture.

The next era of AI won't be won by whoever generates the most code.
It'll be won by whoever can prove the code works.

[Ryan Aytay @ryanaytay]

Everyone is celebrating AI that writes code.
Almost nobody is asking the only question that matters:
Can you trust it?

[Ryan Aytay @ryanaytay]

Not faster code generation. Trusted code generation.
Not vibe coding. Code that is verified to be correct.

[Ryan Aytay @ryanaytay]

Tesla autonomous driving might spread faster than any technology ever.

The hardware foundations have been laid for such a long time that a software update enables self-driving for millions of pre-existing cars in a short period of time.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’re expanding our partnership with @Salesforce.

Claude is now a preferred model in Agentforce for regulated industries. We’re deepening Claude’s integration with Slack, and Salesforce is rolling out Claude Code for its global engineering organization.
