Congrats to @matanSF @EnoReyes and the team at @FactoryAI !

The best agents for software development are becoming the best agents for everything. Droids are the best software development agents in the world, reaching #1 on Terminal-Bench.

We have raised $50M from NEA, Sequoia Capital, J.P. Morgan, Nvidia, Abstract Ventures, and other industry leaders including Frank Slootman, Nikesh Arora, and Aaron Levie.

Today, Droids are available to anyone, with any model, in any interface: CLI, IDE, Slack, Linear, Browser.

Congrats @willwjack @KellerMaloney !!!

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Unusual is the first “AI Relations” platform. It gets you more leads with PR campaigns targeted at ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and more.

Congrats on the launch, @willwjack and @kellermaloney!

I am grateful to announce the launch of Uncorrelated Capital, an alternative asset investment firm focused on legal assets. A huge thank you to all of our supporters so far, and we can’t wait for what lies ahead!

Software development is due for a dramatic change. Throwing AI onto existing workflows is not enough.

Enter the Droid.

In this new era of agent-native software development, there will be more developers than ever, with more leverage than ever. Now is the time to use these tools. Now is the time to build.

It’s been a long two years working on Factory and I am very excited to finally be sharing to the public what we’ve been building in private. It’s still early. The Droids are young, but they are learning fast and eager to help.

Agents Ship Code. Droids Ship Software.

[Miles Cole @miles_c2]

Huge congrats to @GabeStengel and the @RogoAI team! Proud to be an investor and can't wait for what's to come next!

[Gabriel Stengel @GabeStengel]

INTRODUCING FACTORY

Factory is the Command Center where developers and agentic AI collaborate to understand, plan, and build enterprise software.
Our enterprise platform combines advanced engineering system indexing, state-of-the-art retrieval and search, and reliable agentic systems powered by frontier LLMs. In your Factory,

• 🤖 Droid Mode unlocks cutting-edge agentic capabilities. Accelerate your development with AI that autonomously pulls in tickets, reads error logs, retrieves relevant context, executes code, and solves complex, long-running tasks.
• 🪡 Threads let you jump into deep work with all relevant context dynamically surfaced in front of you. No more crawling through Github, Slack, Google Drive, Notion, Jira, Slack, or context-switching between them.
• ⚡ Workflows transform and centralize your organization’s best practices into executable, AI-powered processes. Automate repetitive tasks like building integrations, bug-fixing, PRD creation, release notes, version updates, and more.

We're working with some of the most innovative organizations in software — from AI-forward enterprises like @MongoDB to high-growth organizations across the world. Our enterprise platform combines advanced engineering system indexing, state-of-the-art retrieval and search, and reliable agentic systems using frontier LLMs like o3 and Claude 3.7 Sonnet

THE MACHINE THAT BUILDS THE MACHINE

Today we are excited to announce the latest updates from Factory and the next steps in our mission to Bring Autonomy to Software Engineering.

Droids are autonomous systems that solve problems for engineers. Not just in demos. Not just in simple repositories. In complex, production settings. Testing, debugging, refactoring, migrating, reviewing, documenting — world class organizations are accelerating their software development with Factory’s Droids.

In addition to building out the Droid Fleet, we have some other exciting updates to share:
- New SOTA benchmarks. 31.67% on SWE-bench Lite. 19.27% on SWE-bench Full.
- New Fundraising. $15M Series A led by Sequoia Capital.

Will AI replace investors?
What happens to WallSt with AGI?
Is my voice annoying in podcast format?

...these and many other questions answered with @edels0n on @profgalloway's show...

[Matan Grinberg @matanSF]

Anarchy in startup land - but what a quarter for Elon.

1. Tesla: Cruise suspended in SF, CEO steps down

2. X AI: Grok release. OpenAI board completely incompetent. Sam fired, Greg quits, OpenAI and Microsoft partnership in absolute disarray

3. X/Twitter: 2022 takeover gets vindicated by the unprecedentedly raw, unbiased coverage of the terrorist attacks / war in Israel and Gaza. X reaffirms its status as the go-to news platform during this OpenAI debacle

4. SpaceX: Successful Starship launch, paving the way for orbit soon

5. Neuralink: FDA clearance for human trials

[Miles Cole @miles_c2]

A lot has happened since @matanSF was throwing around the initial ideas for @factoryAI_ while crashing on my couch in NYC... You are welcome back anytime my man! 🚀🚀🚀

[Factory @FactoryAI]

Factory is bringing autonomy to software engineering.

Excited to announce our $5M fundraise, led by @sequoia (@shaunmmaguire) and @Lux_Capital (@breeves08)

@EnoReyes Woohoo!

[Miles Cole @miles_c2]

Big congrats to @matanSF @EnoReyes and the whole team at @factoryAI_ !!! Big moves!

[Matan Grinberg @matanSF]

Dropping out of my PhD to start Factory with Eno was the best decision I’ve ever made.

We dream of a world where software engineering itself is an accessible, scalable commodity. If you’re as excited about this future as we are — and ready to work relentlessly to get there — reach out to us.
