🚨 The battle for the future of software is no longer about who can write code fastest — it’s about who owns the data and context to power AI. Generative coding agents and tools from Anysphere, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf Cognition and poolside are commoditizing software development. In this new era, context is king and data is the moat. Winners will be those who: 1️⃣ Embed deeply into workflows to capture rich, high-fidelity data 2️⃣ Engineer context precisely at inference time 3️⃣ Reinforce models through usage, not static prompts Legacy SaaS vendors face eroding moats. AI-native apps with data flywheels and contextual intelligence are rising fast. 👇 Full article in the comments. If you’re building in this space, I want to hear from you. Thank you to Jeff Haynie, Jason Warner, Çağla Kaymaz and Vedant Agrawal for providing input and feedback on this article! #AI #Software #VC #DeveloperTools #ContextIsKing #FutureOfWork

France is about to force millions of businesses into software. Not politely. Not gradually. By law. 📑 Starting in 2026, every French business — from the corner café to the design studio — will have to issue and receive invoices in a standard digital format. Each invoice will go automatically to the customer and to the tax authorities for VAT reporting. Think about all those shoeboxes full of receipts. The envelopes stuffed with slips. The PDFs buried in inboxes. A whole way of working disappears overnight. What a relief. 😮‍💨 For freelancers, maybe it’s just one less pile of paper on the desk. But for B2B companies, it changes everything. Because once invoices live in software, payments naturally follow. Reconciliation follows. Cash flow follows. Suddenly, accounting software isn’t just admin — it becomes the default financial hub. That’s why this will be a fierce battle for software companies. Everyone wants to be the tool SMBs pick for compliance. Because once you win invoicing, you can win everything else. But let’s be honest: there won’t be just one winner. SMBs are too diverse, too fragmented. There’s room for many players to succeed and they will. One regulation. Huge consequences. And…🍿 yes, a little drama. P.S. I’ll be at the Congrès de l’ordre des experts-comptables tomorrow, Swan’s booth #R551

Thrilled to see Meta — Thomas Scialom, PhD, Grégoire Mialon, and the brilliant Meta Agents team — launch 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗮𝟮, built within their new 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗥𝗟 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 platform! Gaia2 sets a new bar for agent evaluation by testing models in dynamic, real-world conditions, where APIs timeout, priorities shift, and unexpected friction derails even the smartest systems. The ARE RL Environment framework is designed to 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 in environments that look and feel like the real world. (After all, in this day and age, winning IMO medals is a challenge of the past. It’s deploying models into the rich, long tail messiness of the real world that’s the golden frontier.) Two years ago, Meta pioneered this vision with 𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗔, a benchmark we were proud to help build. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating again on 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗮𝟮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗥𝗘, creating the diverse scenarios and data that helped bring these ideas to life — with a team at Meta that recognized the importance of RL environments long before they became the hot new kid on the block. We’ve always believed that training models is only half the story. Measuring them — with the right objectives, in the right environments — is just as critical. Who cares if a model gets better at the wrong thing? 𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗮𝟮 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆. We’re excited to keep collaborating toward powerful, reliable AI that works even in the chaos of the real world. Congrats to the Meta team! https://lnkd.in/eF5NRVuF
