▸ • Figma drops 'Code Layers' at Config 2026, blurring the line between designers and developers.
▸ • Scaled Cognition bags $100M from Khosla to build AI that actually tells the truth.
▸ • Stably ships Orca, an open-source IDE designed to herd your fleet of coding agents.
Figma's Config 2026 announcements just put tools like Cursor on notice. With the new 'Code Layers,' developers can clone repos directly into the design canvas, treating executable code as just another design material alongside vectors and frames.
Mountain View AI lab Scaled Cognition just raised $100M led by Khosla Ventures with a wildly bold pitch: an AI model that doesn't hallucinate. They're targeting high-stakes enterprise workflows where a creative AI hallucination means a botched insurance claim or a fired employee.
A former Apple engineer convinced Kleiner Perkins that current AI infrastructure is built for the wrong future, and they handed him $80 million to fix it. Sail Research is officially out of stealth, though they're keeping the exact details of their token-crunching master plan under wraps.
The FTC has officially cleared Elon Musk to acquire Mesh, a startup founded by SpaceX alumni that just came out of stealth in February with a $50M Series A. Because why let your former employees build their own empire when you can just buy them back?
YC-backed insurance tech startup Corgi is in hot water after Papermark accused them of ripping off their open-source product. Corgi denies the allegations, but the drama is raising serious questions about the realities, risks, and sheer laziness of the 'vibe coding' era.
TanStack Start added RSC support back in April, giving developers an escape hatch from the Next.js App Router. This deep dive builds the exact same content-heavy dashboard in both frameworks to see which one actually deserves to run in production.
After a grueling two-week negotiation with the Trump administration, Anthropic's Mythos 5 model is back online. Over 100 authorized US companies and government agencies now have the green light to use it, proving that even AI has to wait in line at the DMV.
Running a single coding agent is so 2025. Stably just open-sourced Orca, an IDE built specifically for managing fleets of coding agents. It uses parallel git worktrees so you can fan a prompt across five agents and merge whichever one doesn't completely break your codebase.
South Korea isn't just buying drones; they're training their entire half-million-strong military to use them. The plan treats drones as a 'universal combat tool,' which sounds like a sci-fi movie premise but is actually just modern warfare catching up to consumer tech.
Researchers from Sciences Po have published a new paper on using hierarchically finetuned language models for multi-taxonomy vulnerability classification. It's a dense read, but a promising step toward AI that can actually categorize security flaws without getting confused.
Starting July 1st, streaming services in California can no longer blast you with obnoxiously loud ads. It's a small victory for our collective sanity, and a terrible day for whoever mixes audio for detergent commercials.
Doctors operating on a man they suspected had brain cancer got the surprise of a lifetime when they found worms instead. We're not sure which diagnosis is worse, but we're definitely skipping lunch today.
