A SaaStr CPO panel on September 2 with Anneka Gupta (Rubrik), Emrecan Dogan (Glean) and Anique Drumright (Harvey). Harvey is in more than 60% of the Am Law 100 with 700+ customers across 58 countries, and its 180+ legal engineers each had 8 to 10 years of prior practice. Rubrik framed its agent roadmap as "a second build of your whole product," and Rubrik and Harvey independently converged on the same shape: agents propose a plan, a human approves, execution runs deterministically. Glean says half of a five-hour AI workday goes into building context rather than doing work. The cost structure is the finding: a category-winning agent carries domain-expert headcount per deployment, which is a services gross margin wearing a software multiple.

Twelve months ago, OpenAI led Anthropic by 41 points in enterprise adoption. Today that gap is 8. Enterprise Technology Research's survey of roughly 500 respondents shows OpenAI dropping from 62% adoption (September 2025) to 56% (March 2026) while Anthropic surged from 21% to...
The IDE market is fragmenting, and this week drew the sharpest lines yet. Cursor 3 launched as a rebuilt agent-orchestration platform in Rust and TypeScript, replacing the VS Code fork with an Agents Window for dispatching and monitoring multiple AI coding agents. Anysphere hi...
Anthropic released Claude Managed Agents in public beta on April 8 and the pricing stopped me mid-scroll. $0.08 per runtime hour. That's roughly $58/month to run an agent 24/7, plus token costs. For context, I've spent more than that on a single debugging session with Claude C...
If you have a CLAUDE.md, you're in scope. Today. arXiv 2607.14611 (cs.CR, filed July 16) evaluates prompt injection planted in the persistent memory files that agentic coding systems write and re-read across sessions. The researchers tested both Anthropic's Claude Code and Ope...
xAI launched Grok Build on May 14. With that, every major AI lab now ships a coding agent that lives in your terminal. The competition isn't "can we build one" anymore. That question is settled. The lineup: Anthropic has Claude Code. OpenAI has Codex CLI. Google has Gemini CLI...
Last summer, Anthropic told investors it wouldn't be profitable until at least 2028. That timeline just got shredded. CNBC reports that Anthropic expects Q2 2026 revenue of approximately $10.9 billion, up 130% from Q1's $4.8 billion, alongside its first-ever operating profit o...
