i think jev is resonating with devs so well b/c it unlocks so many opportunities for composing ai into systems and products rather than ai _becoming_ the product/system
really does feel like it was a missing primitive

Today we’re announcing our Series B.
We’ve raised $200M at a $2B valuation from Greenoaks with participation from Index Ventures, Hanabi, A*, Bain Capital Ventures, CVS Health Ventures, and Definition.
Our mission is to simulate all eight billion people on earth, accurately.

A good start might be creating clarity around “jailbreak” risk scoring similar to CVSS severity scores. “Jailbreak” is an overused term… some “jailbreaks” are LLM Advil and other “jailbreaks” are LLM Heroin. Also (IMO) labs should reward / celebrate discovery of novel methods.

Quick update: not dead.
$FIG Q1 results:
→ 46% YoY revenue growth, accelerating for the 2nd straight quarter
→ Net Dollar Retention Rate increased to 139%, our highest rate in over two years
→ Raising 2026 revenue guidance for the year
Design matters more than ever.

use_figma is a huge unlock for my workflow. My favorite use case so far is to have Claude Code generate architecture diagrams to communicate complex ideas
Figma is the home for shareable agent artifacts
Anthropic’s research preview for Claude Opus 4.6 (Fast mode) is here, and it's in Figma Make for a limited time (for free and 2.5x the speed)
Show us what you've made in Make and we'll DM you for special access through the weekend

Are you tired of asking your coworkers where a design is? Same tbh. That's why we built Figma AI search, which lets you find designs using a screenshot or description.
For months, search was all I thought of, so I wrote about the love we poured into it (link below!) – at Manhattan, NY

Around the time @willdepue started working on their @figma computer, I also embarked on a journey to create mine... although now I can't claim to be the first.
~3kb program memory, ~1kb ram, 18 instructions, and a Figma plugin to help compile small C programs using ELVM.

Jammed with @reiddraper and @keeyeny on this lil week-centered planner FigJam widget a while back, and we finally got around to publishing it! Nothing fancy, just a basic 12 wk calendar.a

I started doing an experiment over the last few weeks. When someone says something rude or inappropriate to me, I calmly say one of these:
“Hm… why would you say that?”
“Hm… what do you mean by that?”
“Hm… what was your goal in saying that?”
The reactions I’ve gotten… wow.

There's been a lot of #ChatGPT hype over the last week — surely it wouldn't be able to handle building Figma plugins... right?
...wrong. 🤯
