What happens when you start utilizing so many agents at once, and have to have so many terminal windows open that it becomes difficult to keep track of everything? We spoke to Gaurav Gosain on his open source project tuios.dev: www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Congratulations to the @workbrew.bsky.social team on 2.0, #ISO27K, bringing in the Updatest team, and giving modern orgs the power to run a secure internal app store.

Today, we're excited to welcome retrieval engine Antfly to the portfolio. The team has built a unified system that combines data connectivity and superior retrieval performance within a closed-circuit system, 100% owned and controlled internally from day one. www.heavybit.com/press/heavyb...

Making sense of any of your generated code is becoming increasingly difficult. Developer Vitali Avagyan suggests that the key to understanding code is to stop thinking of it as lines of plain text, and to treat it as a relational graph. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

On episode 12 of High Leverage, @josephruscio.bsky.social and Dexter Horthy of Human Layer explore autonomous coding, covering dark software factories, code review bottlenecks, program design, technical debt, and the continuing importance of experienced engineers. www.heavybit.com/library/podc...

Can agents be the future if they’re not reliable (yet)? Open-source creator @mikehostetler.bsky.social believes such a future is possible if systems combine strong guardrails with fault-tolerant infrastructure designed for large-scale deployments. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Devs are spending upwards of hundreds and thousands of $ monthly on AI services. What if the infrastructure and tooling needed to build with AI were free of charge? We spoke to the creator of open source project Shimmy, Mike Kuykendall: www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

On episode 3 of Lab Notes, Amir Zohrenejad joins Qizheng Zhang for a deep dive into recursive AI, harness engineering, and the emerging field of self-improving agent systems. www.heavybit.com/library/podc...

Does more AI-generated code mean more performance issues and software regressions? We spoke with Arthur Pastel, the founder of @codspeed.io, a performance intelligence platform built specifically to help earlier in the SDLC. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

What if your MacBook was your AI harness? We spoke with @tpae.bsky.social about #OsaurusAI and how it frees him from vendor lock-in on increasingly commoditized models while giving him far more control and ownership over his data and permissions. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Agents are still dealing with performance issues that keep them from being reliable... One of them being memory (or the lack thereof.) We spoke with the creator of the MCP Memory Service project to learn how they tackled this challenge. thehumansintheloop.substack.com/p/agentic-me...

We haven’t quite arrived at the ideal world where agents can handle complicated, time-consuming tasks on their own with little supervision. But Moaz Muhammed is optimistic that orchestration is the future: www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

There’s a great deal of noise being made about how well AI startups are doing, but not much in the way of specifics on how they’re successfully going to market. We spoke to EverWorker CRO John Roberts about how to successfully sell AI products. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

How should founders think about marketing their early-stage startup on social media in 2026? @leadtail.bsky.social social media experts @carterhostelley.bsky.social and @heykarri.bsky.social cover 5 strategies to use now: www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

We're excited to welcome @exe.dev founders @crawshaw.io and @commaok.xyz to the portfolio. exe.dev lets devs quickly stand up affordable, secure VMs without the need for complex configuration or authentications, or for an enormous cloud bill. www.heavybit.com/press/heavyb...

In a few years, 80% of #API calls will come from #AI #agents. Back-end systems will need to become more durable and flexible. Founder Mike Piccolo shares his thoughts on how the architecture needs to evolve, and how teams should think about the future to come. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Today, we're excited to announce $7.75M in funding for Duckbill, the enterprise FP&A platform that helps enterprises decipher complex cloud billing. "Duckbill is building the platform enterprises need to forecast and govern cloud and AI spend with precision." www.heavybit.com/press/heavyb...

For better and worse, we're barreling toward a future where a large and growing fraction of production code is never read by a human. Heavybit GP @josephruscio.bsky.social discusses the arrival of “Write-Only Code” and what it means for enterprise software. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Companies are hiring a lot of "AI Engineers." But if you go to OpenAI or Anthropic's careers page, you won't find "AI Engineer" listed. So what is it then? Amir Zohrenejad analyzes the data: www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Is product management making a comeback? 🤔 We checked in with development experts Amit Eyal Govrin, @bizza.pizza, and Alex Kurilin to dig into why and what it means to be a good product manager or product engineer in the age of AI. www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Today, we're excited to announce $4.5M in funding for Musical AI, the platform for AI rights management. Musical AI delivers transparent, auditable attribution infrastructure that connects generative music systems to real licensing outcomes. www.heavybit.com/press/heavyb...

AI models require strong semantic text management to understand natural-language prompts and return accurate, intelligible responses. It can be compute intensive but it doesn't have to be. #WordLlama creator David Lee Miller explains: www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

Longer queries means incurring higher token costs. But there’s more to building good AI applications than pinching pennies on tokens. TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) creator @johannschopplich.com explains: www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

So far, the single biggest slide from #DevGuild was from Quinn (Sourcegraph); an “everything you’ve read about how code and SaaS sales gets done is wrong” And the caveat: not because it’s right, but because if everyone is doing it wrong, you can’t ignore it when your goal is startup survival.

Our half-day, single-track conference is back! ⚙️ DevGuild: Founder Fundamentals is bringing together seasoned leaders to chart the real paths of technical founders and how it reshapes the people behind the products. Apply now to learn from the best: lu.ma/devguild-fou...

Fresh off the news of our largest raise, our Managing Director @tdbit.bsky.social was on the Sand Hill Road podcast with @scottmcgrew.bsky.social to discuss why the traditional enterprise sales model is fading and how devs now hold the keys to software adoption. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Without #datapipelines in regulated spaces like #healthcare, #fintech, or #insurance, technical teams risk issues with #dataquality, #datafreshness, and accuracy. Dr. Roshan Nanu, PhD and director of AI at Prompt Health explains: www.heavybit.com/library/arti...

It was a big week at Heavybit. We kicked it off by announcing our latest and largest yet $180M fundraise. Thank you to our founders, investors, and community that made it possible. This next chapter is just beginning. If you're building, let’s talk.
