GPT-6 Astra is here.

We hope it will begin to enable a new generation of entrepreneurship, scientific discovery, and building.

We believe it is the best model in the world for computer use, professional work, science, coding, cybersecurity, and more.

It took us some extra time to ensure that we could meet the safety and alignment standards required for this capability level, but we think you’ll find it worth the wait.

It scores 98% on FrontierMath Tier 4, 99.9% on ARC-AGI 3, and 100% on ExploitBench.

@MattJamesBoyle @ona_hq Best year ever🥳

High-performing engineering organizations are running multiple agents in parallel, in the background.

But the teams pushing the frontier are going further and figuring out how agents can work together as a 'software factory'.

The question we hear most is:
- How do you set a software factory up?
- Where are the limits?
- Where our tooling and processes must change?

This project is an attempt to answer that:
- A live product anyone can use
- Built fully by agents, no human written code
- Fully open source, published on GitHub
- Two weeks of daily livestreams

Running until 25th April - join us !

Led by @casualzach_ with updates on @swfactory_dev.

Gitpod is now @ona_hq. Same people, different name, bigger ambition.

Today, we're launching the mission control for your personal team of autonomous SWE agents.

[Ona @ona_hq]

Going all in tomorrow on what we've been building over the last 9 months

Today we're introducing https://t.co/uoamPzsJou, our privacy-first software engineering agent crafted for the enterprise 🌊

Most AI coding tools today prioritize speed over security, assuming where your code runs doesn't matter. But for enterprise software, vibe coding on shared infrastructure doesn't work.

"Will Gitpod work for us? As we have [insert strict security or compliance requirement]”

Is a question I'm often asked at events or conferences...

[Johannes Landgraf @jolandgraf]

Yesterday, we signed a seven figure contract, growing our enterprise revenue 10x since last year.

Today, we launch our Act 2: Gitpod Flex. We want to give you all the building blocks to automate your software development lifecycle, starting with development environments.

Here is what you get.

-Automations: programmable tasks and services triggered on events unique to development environments
- Gitpod Desktop: bringing cloud development environments to your laptop, starting with Mac
- Runners: self-host in your cloud in three minutes
- Dev Container: for base images, tools, and extensions
- Zero-trust environments: ‘never trust, always verify’ every actor and service

Try it for free in early access, no waitlist.

[Ona @ona_hq]

We thought too small about development environments. Tomorrow, we're launching our Act 2.

A packed, but great week in Chicago for #KubeCon (sorry, #SkateCon). With folks I only get to hang out with virtually: @FarrahC32, @OrkoHunter, @_Odazie, @a_bangser… and many more. A local tour guide @gitpod_shan the wise @michaelar1ng and @aledbf 🤘🏻‘Til next time.

Our 12th @gitpod community meet-up is kicking off right now with @AWSstartups in Munich! 🇩🇪 @jolandgraf #gitpodmunich

[Ona @ona_hq]

We are live!

You will often interact with Gitpod for the first time on our website. Because of this, it should beautifully convey our positioning, with a clear understanding of the value our product provides.

And after three months of hard work, we’re excited to launch an update to our website! https://t.co/BmCJ8MF7lJ

When we took on a website redesign, we followed three principles:

Design matters: we partnered with @createdbymad @nchristowitz to refine our vision and initial designs, creating pages that felt innovative, intuitive, calm and at their core, Gitpod.

Begin with the why: empower developers to be ready-to-code: the experience when nothing stands between being inspired and starting to build.

Explain the how: real-estate matters. Every sentence should contribute to the understanding of our core value proposition:

- Gitpod is the fastest way to ship product
- Gitpod integrates, optimizes and automates your team’s developer experience
- Gitpod does all of this securely

→ Tomorrow, you’ll hear from our CEO, @jolandgraf, on why ready-to-code matters to us.

→ Next week, you’ll hear from our CTO, @csweichel, on How we built Gitpod Dedicated, our core enterprise offering, and why you should never self-manage a product again.

As with everything we do, we’re building for our community and customers. We’d love to hear your feedback: https://t.co/zwqlaUdOcH

Special thanks to our lead designer @christinfrohne for putting forth an incredible vision and kicking-off our designs strong, our developer @Siddhant_K_code for the speediest implementation we’ve ever seen and our marketing team for focusing messaging on what our core users need. 🧡

Final day at #OSSummit!

Come speak to @loujaybee and @paw_lean about cloud development environment (CDEs), developer experience (#DevX) and skateboards 🛹

@linuxfoundation

[Lou @loujaybee]

At #OSSUMMIT in Bilbao?

Swung by the Gitpod booth yet?

Whether you are an:
A) An open source maintainer/contributor
B) A software engineer or IC
C) An engineer leader (CTO, Platform)

You should be thinking about CDEs.

Let me explain why 👇
