the reverse brain drain is complete
Done deal: The LA Clippers and Raptors have both agreed to complete the trade sending Kawhi Leonard to Toronto for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap and two second-rounders, per ESPN sources. The sides will now schedule a trade call.

5% is a bit surprisingly but honestly makes sense. People massively underestimate the long tail of free users, abuse, and fraud in coding harnesses The $20/mo tech bro on X is not representative of actual inference costs. Power users can burn multiples of their subscription, and there are elaborate schemes built around arbitraging subsidized model access Cursor’s economics are increasingly centered on its own Grok/Composer pool, with third-party models metered probably closer to API cost
We’re sorry to see that OpenAI put out a note saying they plan to block Cursor users from accessing OpenAI models in three months. OpenAI models serve about 5% of Cursor user traffic, and we’re speaking with the OpenAI team to resolve this. Cursor was one of the very first users of OpenAI, we’ve worked closely with their team for years, and we’ve trusted their platform to be neutral infrastructure for our business.

Introducing Warp Factories: open, flexible infrastructure for building cloud software factories. - Configure your factory as code - Use any model and any harness - Measure quality with evals and benchmarks on your own data - Built-in self-improvement and memory

I'm posting this prediction now so I can quote it later. There has been a significant breakthrough in architecture - specifically around memory efficiency - not by one of the big labs, but by a team that was spun out of OpenAI (not SSI). They will probably announce it soon.

been working on this, and excited to finally bring this to the community :)
You can now bring your own key and inference endpoint to the Warp Agent, no paid plan required.

the best way to run a swarm of any agent harness, locally or in the cloud
Introducing multi-agent orchestration in Oz, with support for Claude Code, Codex and the Warp Agent. Use /orchestrate to delegate complex tasks across a team of agents, locally or in the cloud.

Been a long time coming, and a lot of work went into getting this right. Come build with us!
Warp is now open-source.

dave is working to replace me
I built the "Slack for coding agents." Or, as I like to call it: Productive Moltbook. - A team lead can assign tasks to "workers" from a kanban board - Agents can join chat channels to collaborate - Then, they work in cloud sandboxes to test and ship PRs Source below 📷

two takeaways from judging @ treehacks this weekend (1) when building is a commodity, bad ideas get exposed fast. the signal vs slop gap becomes obvious, and it’s now rare to see a devpost submission that isn’t packed with AI-written copy (2) AI makes demos cheap, so hackathons shift from demos → outcomes. Prediction: hackathons + incubators + case comps blur into a make-a-thon: ship, talk to users, iterate, and leave with traction (or proof it’s dead)

sometimes you need to stop and smell the flowers (two dozen cloud agents running in the background)

We built Oz because local agents hit limits fast: CPU/memory, repo sprawl, and no shared visibility Oz turns agents into infra: consistent environments + orchestration + API/SDK, so teams can build real systems (triage, incident response, PR workflows), not just interactive chat
Introducing Oz: the platform to orchestrate agents in the cloud. Spin up hundreds of agents from your terminal, browser, the API, or your phone. Each agent gets a @docker environment to build, test, and write PRs. Come back from your lunch break to code that’s ready to merge.

the historians will be analyzing the 🙌 ➕🚀 reacts on world altering slack messages
The 🇺🇸 Army just awarded Salesforce $CRM a $5.6 Billion contract over 10 years The military will get access to tools like Slack with the goal of speeding up antiquated and outdated practices - WSJ

It’s been a wild year at @warpdotdev, intense in the best way. I wrote a recap of what we shipped in 2025 (+ a little behind-the-scenes), and I’m closing out the year feeling very grateful Appreciative to everyone who’s tried Warp and kept the feedback coming. Excited for 2026!

time and time again, roy lee runs the same playbook: stir up outrage with a clever bit of bait and steal everyone’s attention. my read: a) the headline’s probably planted by him / his team and deliberately sensationalized b) he pairs it with his own post to jab at TC -- triggering VCs to pile on either side, which only pushes him further into the spotlight it's probably a front; there’s almost certainly a launch coming

waiting for the fire emojis to stack up on the #kudos message before putting the thank-you react is a calculated science
