@pandaa Hi

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.

The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.

Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

Using Maximor should help finance teams cut their time to first reconciliation, where softwares like Blackline and Floqast still struggle with being in the market for 20-25 years or more.

[Ajay Krishna Amudan @ajkrish95]

“Plenty of vendors inside regulated verticals are still getting squeezed because they never became AI-native. BlackLine ($BL) and Trintech are feeling it in close and reconciliation as Numeric, Maximor, and Stacks build AI-native from day one. nCino ($NCNO) in banking faces the same challenge. The regulatory moat buys you time. It doesn't buy you the decade.”

^ Respectfully, while it is true that Blackline and Floqast customers are flocking to @maximor_ai , what we’re really building is the Autonomous Finance and Ops Engine. We’re helping our CFOs and the entire Office of the CFO move from being mostly back office to mostly front office. Our contract sizes blow Blackline’s and Floqast’s out of the water precisely because of that - our average ACVs TODAY ( and we’re just about about 8 months post commercialization ) are 3x-4x Floqast’s ( they started in 2012 ) - this is only possible because when CFOs turn to Maximor - they’re doing it for Palantir style transformation for the Finance function but with short implementation timelines ( most of our agents now get implemented in < 2 weeks ) with 99%+ accuracy with an entire verification layer underpinning our architecture.

@gokulr I think if you take any claim too far you're going to reach some form of singularity. Thought provoking but there's simply no historical precedent for this. In fact I'd argue if your claim is true - Snowflake, Databricks and Palantir should be the only software the world needed the last 20 yesrs ( which clearly wasn't the case ).

The world of enterprise software has always been split between build vs buy; build with horizontal software like data warehouses ( Snowflake, Databricks, Palantir ) or buy vertical software which have somewhat narrow focud. You see enterprises today continue to have this choice and still be split. We see this at @maximor_ai all the time - banks are often not great customers for us because they have historically preferred building internally. But almost 90% of all enterprises still tend to want a best in class vendors dedicated to a reasonably narrow problem.

I don't think this is going to change.
Maybe the 90-10 becomes 80-20 over time sure. I admire Claude Code as much as the next person but it's borderline irresponsible to think Anthropic's FDE team is magically going to come in and unify all context across every function and make sure that's maintained real time forever.

[Ajay Krishna Amudan @ajkrish95]

Love the clear articulation from @JayaGup10 and @ashugarg here!

With Agents systems having better memory, model contexts becoming longer and users increasingly more willing to record the last mile of “why”s of their decisions - it’s finally possible to both collate already existing decision trace data which is typically spread across multiple systems ( email, Slack, Comments on your Task Management system, Helpdesk, etc. ) as well as build experiences for users that allow the capture of last mile data that previously didn’t exist anywhere else.

@maximor_ai is sitting right at the intersection of this data and model flywheel taking decisions and running end to end workflows for Finance and Accounting teams!

Feeling fortunate to partner with @ashugarg , @JayaGup10 & @FoundationCap

They understand both the discipline of horizontal platforms & the power of AI apps – exactly what it takes to crack enterprise finance.

The holiest of data is dollars & cents – we’re building the Databricks of dollars & cents.

Cyphr has been something I wanted to do for as long as I could remember. Only, it wasn't Cyphr in my head.
Now that I have a name, here I am, trying to breathe this thing to life. And hopefully a successful, meaningful design development agency!
