It's rare to see a non-AI frontier lab build an in-house AI coding tool that works so much better than what frontier labs have to offer. Ramp did this with Inspect: an AI coding harness fully integrated with their systems, running on cloud machines, and being a smash hit inside the company.

Ramp basically runs full-blown cloud development environments (CDEs) for agents to build code on, and validate it, and has made this tool "multi-player" by default, with no opt out.

We find it likely that the likes of Codex, Claude Code and GitHub Copilot will build similar tooling in a few months' time to what Ramp already has in-place.

The world has changed: choosing an AI model is now a full-time job.

GPT-5.6 Luna, Sol, or Terra? Claude Opus 4.8 or Sonnet 5? Gemini 3.1 Pro, Kimi K3, or GLM 5.2? Medium, high, or xhigh reasoning? Best solve rate, lowest cost, or fastest response?

And next week, the answer changes again.

Ramp Router keeps track so you don't have to. The right model for each task is now two lines of code: https://t.co/NBLCBXwk6Q

Five years from now Ramp will be as known for corporate cards as Netflix is for DVDs or Amazon is for paper books.

Maybe one year from now.

.@BernieSanders , it is a time to celebrate. @elonmusk has created enormous value for society by building @SpaceX, driving down the cost of rocket launches and creating a global satellite communication network that has brought high speed, low-cost internet and communication access to hundreds of millions and eventually billions of people along with critical advantages for our military and our nation’s defense.

SpaceX and its technologies will cause an acceleration in the growth of wages and wealth creation globally, including in some of the poorest communities in the U.S. and around the world.

Access to low-cost, high speed communications everywhere will allow children around the world to be educated, families to build businesses, and life-saving medical knowledge and care to be available everywhere.

SpaceX will materially bring down the cost of compute, advancing AI and humanity.

Meanwhile, 4,000 SpaceX employees yesterday became millionaires, including hourly wage employees who you claim you are trying to help.

The Elon Musks of the world drive growth, global GDP, and provide access to goods and services at lower cost that would otherwise not exist.

Elon’s nominal trillionaire status is due to his ownership of SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company and his other initiatives that have brought new technologies that improve our everyday lives.

Elon is not sitting on a trillion dollar pile of cash, jewelry and gold. He is using his controlling stakes in his companies to advance mankind. Elon’s companies don’t pay dividends. They reinvest all of their capital to accelerate innovation and value creation.

Elon is working 24/7 for all of us. He deserves respect and appreciation, not smears.

Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built. Socialism has only proven to impoverish mankind and lead to death and destruction.

We need to create the conditions for more SpaceXs to be built, not attack the great entrepreneurs who are helping to advance our country.

[Karim Atiyeh @karimatiyeh]

Most companies slow down at scale.
Ramp is accelerating.
70,000+ businesses now run on Ramp. AI agents are becoming part of the finance team. And @RampLabs is shipping frontier experiments every week.
Today: $ 44B.
The next chapter of finance will be agentic and we’re building it.

Platon avait raison.

La démocratie, sans éducation, ça ne marche pas.

C'est exactement la situation dans laquelle nous sommes.

Les français ont un niveau catastrophique en économie.

Les politiciens aussi.

C'en est d'ailleurs la conséquence.

If you’re reading this, your business is probably earning 0.07% on operating cash.

@tryramp is now offering 2.5% — that's 35× the national average, and much more on investment accounts. And you can switch in a minute!

Legally, we can’t call it “free money," but you can.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Earnings calculated based on the national average rate on interest checking accounts of .07% published by the FDIC as of 12/16/24, and an earn rate of 2.5% offered and paid by Ramp Business Corporation on the Ramp Business Account. This comparison is between the bank interest rate and the Ramp Business Account earn rate, paid in the form of cash rewards.

Today, I am excited to share that @joinformal has raised $6.8M in funding led by @ThriveCapital, with participation from @ycombinator , @AbstractVC , and industry leaders such as @jgreze, Alexis Lê-Quôc, @ceo_clickhouse, @stanine, @tidocarriero, @mathile_collin, @Gorintic, @grittygrease, @itsRobPicard and many more.

From writing the first few lines of code in my bedroom two years ago to earning the trust of tech companies I admire—like @NotionHQ, @tryramp, and @GustoHQ journey has been both surreal and humbling.

This isn't just a financial milestone; it’s a recognition of the customers who trust Formal to protect their most sensitive data.

We’re tackling one of the industry’s most complex challenges: securing data everywhere in an organization—from the endpoint to the cloud.

Over the last decade, we’ve seen an explosion of SaaS applications and a surge in the complexity of the data stack, driven by rapid cloud adoption. While this shift has boosted business productivity, it has also made tracking data flows and enforcing granular, context-aware least-privilege policies far more challenging. As a result, organizations face greater exposure to over-privileged access and data oversharing, leading to massive breaches.

Formal is here to change that. Acting like an interface in your favorite programming language, Formal serves as an abstraction layer that brings visibility and control to data flows—all in one place: the network. With Formal, security teams can create policies in a single place and enforce them across their entire data stack and SaaS applications.

If you’re looking to make your data more secure and enable least-privilege on autopilot in your organization, book a demo here: https://t.co/YJxeBw7PtP.

This is just the beginning—our hardest challenges still lie ahead. If you’re excited about our mission and want to join a small, talent-dense team, we’re hiring across GTM and engineering in our SF and Paris offices. Learn more and apply here: https://t.co/eYrkayYr2D.
