Every enterprise CFO is going to demand this.

Introducing model routing to Factory.

Factory Router picks the right model for every task, automatically.

Maintain frontier performance while cutting costs by 25%.

Which model reviews code best?

We benchmarked 13 models on AI code review across real PRs and the results are surprising.

Spending more tokens did not result in better code review.

A $1.25/PR model beat another that was more than 2x the cost. Meanwhile, budget models at $0.15/PR delivered ~80% of the quality of frontier models while being 10-30x cheaper.

In fact, cost only explained ~21% of the difference in code review quality.

GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro have arrived in Droid.

Droid computers can work for you all day, every day.

[Factory @FactoryAI]

Today we're opening access to Droid Computers: persistent machines for remotely orchestrating Droids.

Spin one up in Factory's cloud or turn your machine into a Droid Computer. Either way, Droids have a dev environment with its own filesystem, credentials, and configurations.

if you work at @cursor_ai and want to continue to build out a model agnostic coding agent lmk either now or later

[0xSero @0xSero]

Same Opus-4.7 in Droid works amazing.

I guess it's just Claude Code's over bloated system.
Or maybe it's the time of day, who knows.

[Factory @FactoryAI]

Today, we are excited to announce our $150M Series C led by Khosla Ventures with strong participation from Sequoia Capital, Blackstone, Insight Partners, Evantic Capital, Abstract Ventures, 20VC, NEA, and Mantis VC.

This puts our valuation at $1.5B and will accelerate our investment in research, product, and global go-to-market.

Long live developers.

@mweinbach Wait until you try remote env in droid computers 👀

[sam @samfitz]

@itsjustmarky @FactoryAI We do support /.agents! If you have anything there we automatically will utilize it

[sam @samfitz]

@adityavg13 @matanSF Sometimes using the most cost efficient model for the best task is the best strategy, with custom droids you can define agents with specific models for certain tasks, that will automatically run when needed.

@jordanschenck @matanSF Hey happy to help if you send a DM

@troymartig @FactoryAI @droid Troy the finance droid whisperer 🤖

[Troy Martig @troymartig]

We plugged the CLI into @FactoryAI @Droid and within 15 minutes had:
- Daily automated spend briefings pushed to Slack
- WoW and MoM vendor analysis with anomaly detection
- Vendor management automatically cross-referenced with Google CLI (gmail, drive, etc.)
- Automated spend alerts routed by category to the right person in Slack

(fake data Slack message below)

[sam @samfitz]

@infmes Any patterns or things you learned along the way? Amazing to see that it was great at working with existing projects

[Matan Grinberg @matanSF]

or use droid and get features like this without waiting 4 months :)

[Bill @justBill_0]

@FactoryAI Mission finally over. I think just over 28 hours of total runtime... wow. I've been testing the app and it pretty much nailed the spec and then some. This is an absolute gamechanger. The fact that I can just let it do its thing and get so much value for my time.

Very excited to see what @droid can continue to do.
