The most dangerous sentence for closed model providers is: "We switched models and nobody noticed."
That's exactly what happened at @Gumloop. They replaced Opus 4.8 with GLM-5.2 across a company-wide agent and cut costs by ~5x.
This is how platform shifts happen. The open alternative gets good enough. Then it becomes the default.
there are certain costs people have stopped questioning
so when one of them drops 80%, the first reaction is disbelief
open-weight models will give everyone that reaction at scale this year
excited to be partnering with @FireworksAI_HQ on this
Your agents are powerful. That's exactly why you need guardrails
App Policies are live in Gumloop:

The biggest lesson from YC: fundraising isn't about finding investors. It's about building something so good they find you.
Real networks aren't made at cocktail parties.
Max sat down with EO Global to share how Gumloop got here.
Gusto has Gumloop agents running across every department
We sat down with CISO Mike Wittig who broke down
-How Gumloop has accelerated agent building company-wide
-How they think about security in the era of agents
We’re excited to continue making every Gustee a builder
1. gusto is one of the YC companies I look up to most. seeing gumloop being used company-wide makes me irrationally proud
2. if I can become half as eloquent as mike is in this video, i'll consider that a win
with skills, all of your agents can be pros at using Salesforce (even if you've never used Salesforce)
to build a skill, ask any of your existing agents "build me a skill" and it'll get right to it. simple as that
here's @gonzalosm7 from our engineering team with the TL;DR
@gumloop is hands down one of my favorite products of 2026. Their velocity is unmatched; especially if Claude/Cursor feel daunting, it's a wonderful way to get started and automate all kinds of workflows. Well done @MaxBrodeurUrbas and team!
