A few years ago, I was helping people design and build custom homes.
I expected the hard part to be construction.
Instead, I became obsessed with something that happened much earlier.
People had questions about what was possible, but getting answers often required weeks or months of work.
Then AI started making it dramatically easier to explore possibilities in other creative domains - images, music, video, coding.
It made me wonder:
What happens when exploring architecture becomes easy too?
That's what eventually became Drafted.
We believe AI can make it dramatically easier for people to imagine, explore, and ultimately shape the physical world around them.

Most people spend their lives living in buildings they had little influence over.
We believe AI can help change that.
Over the last month, 120,000 people generated 325,000+ home designs with Drafted.ai
Today, we're excited to share that we've raised a $16M Seed led by Buckley Ventures to continue building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design.
Here's a glimpse of what we're building:

The security incident is resolved for existing users. We value transparency, and thus will continue to provide updates until all surface areas of Railway are fully operational.
Why is Railway still not accepting new signups?
Railway’s services are fully restored for our 5 million existing users. To securely and reliably support market demand, we have paused new signups as we prioritize uptime during this recovery period. We will reopen signups this week to continue supporting the ambition of product builders worldwide.
How can I get a refund for fraudulent AI spend on other platforms?
Railway is unable to refund customers for spend performed with compromised API keys. However, we encourage you to reach out to AI token providers directly. Afterwards, please submit a support request at station.railway.com with timestamps, prompts, and addition proof of fraudulent spend so we can escalate the request on your behalf. More information to follow.
What is Railway doing to improve security moving forward?
This week, we have already or are actively implementing a new generation of builder, encryption, and logging systems. Railway has been acknowledged as critical cyber infrastructure, allowing us to utilize to previously inaccessible tooling to provide best-in-class security for our users.
Our goal has never been to simply get back to where we were. As more of the world's software gets built and run by agents alongside humans, security stops being one team's concern and becomes everyone’s ground floor. With these improvements, Railway will continue to be the best place for humans and agents to bring software to life.
We'll keep sharing updates in the link below

6.1 Terra is here! It is good at a lot of things, but we are especially excited for this new era of computer use.
That’s crazy
Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

I benchmarked 5 object storage providers from 6 locations around the world
I included:
- @awscloud S3
- @Cloudflare R2
- @Railway Buckets
- @Backblaze B2
- @neondatabase Storage
It used Files SDK to make it as fair as possible
Here's a summary 👇 (this is also a thread)
Huge congrats the Rahul and team!
we've raised $50M from Khosla Ventures, Accel, Initialized, Kevin Weil, DST Global
to build the world's most wearable BCI cap at Sabi

With so much data accessible to make trades and the intelligence of AI models, agentic trading makes a ton of sense.
Introducing Catalyst.
What do you believe? How would you trade on it?
You notice data centers are popping-up everywhere, gold will skyrocket, or just know that Labubus will go out of fashion.
Catalyst researches your ideas, builds the optimal strategy, monitors events, and executes trades. Autonomously.
This is super sick!!
Today we're launching rentahuman.ai/signs
The easiest way to advertise your product to the highest concentration of builders in the world.
Pick a corner, an event, or a company's front door, and real humans will show up holding your sign.

1/ Biological threats can bring a country to a halt without a single shot being fired. Yet much of our biodefense infrastructure has barely changed in decades, even as America’s institutions produce extraordinary scientific breakthroughs.
I've been only using Codex for a while now, but I finally canceled my Calude subscription after seeing so many step function improvements with Astra 🙌
Such a good feeling!
After seeing how unique my design designs are with the new roof editing, it's hard to imagine buying a house that already exists. Everything else just feels super cookie-cutter now.
