Amjad Masad is the CEO of Replit, who posts on X about the company's products and the AI industry. Recent coverage centers on Replit's Cloud Agents, which can run any codebase and generate pull requests, running any GitHub repo by pasting a link, the launch of Replit for Government, and the Chroma team joining to work on agent context and memory. He also discusses the "self-driving company" idea and where frontier AI investment should go.
If you host your apps on Replit and enable “autofix” it becomes Self-Maintaining Software. [Quoting @forgebitz]: i have no time to maintain all my vibe coded tools we need a business model where someone else maintains the code and i just pay a monthly fee
Introducing Replit for Government.
If it’s made of code, we can run it! [Quoting @msdkim]: @Replit can do anything. Tell me another platform that can do this. Running Omarchy inside workspace. This is insane. (Super super laggy though. trying to optimize)
This is so cool! [Quoting @lukeigel]: Introducing Kino: make videos end-to-end with Claude Code and Codex. Drop your footage, get highlights, edit together, send links for feedback, and let your agents cook. AI is becoming a great creative partner. Kino is a…
Run any GitHub repo. Just paste a link into Replit and it will set it up for you! [Quoting @sarahli]: i forked Excalidraw and added some new features :) 🐟 draw fish and watch them swim 🏀 draw a course and drop a ball through it with @Replit Cloud Agents, yo…
If I’m investing in frontier AI I would underwrite it mostly on new discovery and its applications like medicine because coding and most of knowledge work is quickly being saturated by sub-frontier models.
In the Stanford piracy case against Anthropic, the judge’s name is “Alsup” which sounds suspiciously close to “AI slop” when say it fast.
Designers’ contribution to the codebase. [Quoting @Replit]: In a Self-Driving Company, the people closest to the problem can build the solution. With Replit, anyone in the business can now contribute safely to the company codebase. More collaboration. Fewer b…
“is Replit built with Replit?” The answer was historically “kinda.” But today it’s “absolutely!” Introducing Cloud Agents: run any codebase and generate pull requests right from Replit. Same UX you love, but can run any repo! [Quoting @Replit]: Now anyone can…
OpenAI asked three scientific communities how to release its discoveries and got three different answers: Mathematicians: “Just post it. Who gives a shit anymore.” Computer scientists: “Open source it, but also pay for our conference.” Physicists: “Leave it t…
Software ate the world, now it's learning to run it.
For centuries, the architecture of the firm has barely changed: hierarchies of people organized into departments and coordinated through bureaucracy. AI agents are about to upend that. We’re moving toward the self-driving company where humans exercise judgmen…
Thrilled to welcome Jeff and the Chroma team to Replit! They’re pioneers in AI. They were building RAG before it was even a thing! At Replit, they’ll help solve one of the hardest problems in AI: giving agents the context and memory they need to do real work.…
Excited to announce Replit for Government and welcome Michael Greenwald to the team! Michael brings a wealth of experience, having previously led AWS’s public sector business. Looking forward to working together to transform how governments build and operate…
How we’re protecting your apps from all the recent vulnerabilities. [Quoting @Replit]: Recent vulnerabilities in widely used third-party software have created risks for businesses across the internet. We have patched infrastructure, updated language tooling,…
To clarify: Replit remains model agnostic. Our users can choose Anthropic models as well as many other supported models. What I meant at TC Disrupt is that OpenAI is now our preferred partner powering Agent based on performance, cost, and strength of our part…
Your data belongs to you! We’ll deploy Replit to your cloud and data never leaves home. Designed for high stakes environments like governments, finance, and healthcare. [Quoting @Replit]: We’re introducing Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) for Replit, with options…
Frontier Slides, super fast ;) [Quoting @DesignArena]: BREAKING: Replit by @Replit ranks at #2 on Slides Arena with an Elo of 1279! It is the highest-rated slides builder under 8 minutes and generates decks ~24% faster than #1, establishing a new Pareto front…
Replit ends Anthropic partnership, CEO cites cost and performanceReplit CEO Amjad Masad said at TechCrunch Disrupt that the company is no longer working with Anthropic, citing cost, partnership and performance. Replit announced an OpenAI partnership in August and says OpenAI models better build apps from scratch, though a person familiar said the Anthropic deal remains in place.
Fascinating to see Mathematicians go through all the stages of grief — Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance — in such a compressed window of time. We're at the tail end of depression and entering acceptance. [Quoting @haider1]: Mathematician…
Replit CEO envisions 'self-driving companies'At TechCrunch Disrupt, Replit CEO Amjad Masad described a future of 'self-driving companies' where AI agents handle routine work while people focus on judgment and taste. He said agents already triage Replit's support tickets, and staff deploy fixes with a single click to another agent.
You can pause frontier research today, and it would take AI another 10 years to diffuse into the economy. We're working with solutions partners to accelerate that. [Quoting @Replit]: Clients don’t come to agencies for more software proposals. They come for so…
brb, adding puppies to all my sites [Quoting @runwayml]: Introducing Runway for web design. Connect Runway to @Replit to generate images, video and assets directly inside your project, from first idea to finished site. Get started at the link below.
MXC.exe [Quoting @windowsdev]: MXC is generally available on Windows 11, and @Replit is one of the first partners providing support. View the demo to see how you can use local sandboxes in the Replit Desktop App, and join the waitlist for early access:
Some communities are excited by AI’s impact on their field. Others are petrified. What’s the deciding factor(s)?
Math was bound to fall first. The purer the field the easier it is for AI to crack.
That’s because Replit is not a consumer app. Most of our creators are building businesses or working on one. [Quoting @a16z]: Traffic and revenue tell two different stories Replit is a top 10 consumer AI app by spend and a bottom 5 app by traffic AI power use…
Desktop AI apps are great but expose users to supply-chain attacks and catastrophic mistakes by agents. We’re building a powerful desktop experience with focus on security & reliability. Excited to partner with @Microsoft on this and be an early adopter o…
What’s happening in the AI-powered reverse engineering and decompilation is absolutely insane. Pretty soon all software will be de facto open-source. AI is coming for everything and everyone.
Full conversation here: [Quoting @guilleflorvs]: BREAKING: Patrick Collison just told the Valley exactly where the next Stripe gets built. And it's not an AI lab. Asked what he'd build if starting from scratch, Collison pointed directly at legacy vertical sof…
