Pattern recognition in a business with high variability is a bad thing.

1/ We’re excited to lead @ParadevAI $11.5M seed round. The major question has shifted from “can agents do this work” to “how do we manage a team of them”? Paradev, formerly @superset_sh, is building a system for orchestrating many coding agents in parallel.
Paradev (formerly Superset)
@ParadevAIOct 26
Superset is now Paradev: The code editor that helps engineers run armies of coding agents. We just raised an $11.5M Seed round led by @usv with @ycombinator to redefine how software is written.

In the last month, the Hermes Agent processed 53.3T tokens, making it the most widely used open source agent harness in the world according to @OpenRouter. So how did a project that started as 10 anons in a @discord go head to head with the largest, best-funded labs in the world? The only way these things have ever happened - a bunch of friends making something they believe should exist. @NousResearch

Yesterday AI was used to uncover major vulnerabilities in the infrastructure of the internet. It's yet another example of how profoundly AI is reshaping the web. But what emerges on the other side is very much up for grabs. We were lucky enough to recently introduce two heroes of the Rebel Alliance @eastdakota, CEO & cofounder of @Cloudflare @dillonrolnick, CEO & cofounder of @NousResearch, the creators of Hermes, the largest open source agent harness in the world. Together they discussed who gets to build, control, and benefit from an internet run by AI It's worth a listen if you care about the future of the web. 0:00 Preview 1:41 From a Discord Group to an AI Lab 8:45 Can Anyone Actually Pause AI? 12:59 Would You Trust an Agent With Your Inbox? 14:58 Why Matthew Wouldn’t Trade Places With Sam or Dario 20:28 The Dead Internet Theory Was Wrong 22:28 Agents Don’t Click Ads.

We are in the early innings of the destruction of the internet as we know it. At our CEO summit this year we introduced @Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince @eastdakota and @NousResearch (creators of Hermes) CEO Dillon Rolnick @dillonrolnick to discuss what's at stake for the future of the web.

Remove the credential and you need a new way to verify the work. Every AI capability creates a new verification gap.

Expertise used to be scarce. Now verification is the new bottleneck.

All the focus in AI has been on capability. Making models smarter, bigger, more powerful. The efficiency chapter is just opening. Custom silicon, on-device inference, Apple neural engines running 35B parameter models on a phone. Orders of magnitude of cost reduction still ahead

The subtle risk of agents is judgment loss. If an agent can do everything you ask, it’s easy to stop asking whether the ask is good.

Agents turn a classic founder problem up to 11: you can suddenly “hire” 50 workers overnight. The risk is going very fast in the wrong direction with no one to slow you down.

What if agents don't take jobs but grow the economy the way new workers always have? More output, more spending, more tax revenue, all with fewer societal costs. The lump of labor fallacy, applied to silicon.

Agents take “yes, and” culture to the extreme Humans who say “no, because” become critical

Half of what you pay a professional for isn't expertise. You're paying for peace of mind that someone else owns the outcome.

Give a great analyst AI tools and they become a department. Give an average one the same tools and they become a slightly faster average analyst.

Whichever payment method your agent reaches for first will quietly capture an enormous share of commerce.

Subscriptions appeal to human psychology. Agents don't care about psychology. 50 cents to try, three API calls to decide, gone if it's not good. No trial period, no nurture sequence.

The best fundraisers are never “in market.” They are always quietly testing the market.

One agent gives you a confident answer. Multiple agents arguing give you a better one. Adversarial debate is as useful for AI decision-making as it is for humans

Many founders still plan fundraising like a Netflix queue. Raise, go heads down, resurface in 18 months. The market now looks more like TikTok. Always on, always testing, jump when you see a spike.
