Anthropic Bought Stainless and Repriced the Agent SDK, while Notion Went Dev - This Week In AI


Listen Later

Anthropic acquired Stainless, the SDK and MCP platform behind every Anthropic SDK since their earliest API days. The Information pegged the deal at $300M+.

Starting June 15, paid Claude plans get a monthly credit for programmatic usage covering the Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, Claude Code GitHub Actions, and third-party apps built on the Agent SDK. Theo from t3.gg called the change a personal burn after wrapping the Agent SDK in T3 Code. Anthropic followed with a 50% increase to Claude Code weekly limits through July 13 and Fast mode for Claude Opus 4.7 in research preview.

Claude for Small Business launched as a productized SMB offering with templates for payroll planning, end-of-month accounting, HubSpot, and marketing campaigns. ChatGPT countered the same week with a personal finance preview for U.S. Pro users that connects directly to financial accounts.

Notion shipped its Developer Platform: the ntn CLI, Workers that run code on Notion's infrastructure, Database sync, Agent tools, and an SDK for using Notion agents in external systems. Notion is now directly addressable by coding agents.

CodeRabbit launched Project Atlas as the first AI-native code review interface. Colin Hacks shipped Pullfrog the same week as an open-source GitHub Actions alternative at 7ยข a run. The cloud-coding-agent category kept moving: Cursor's cloud agents now run in fully configured dev environments, Cursor landed in Microsoft Teams, OpenAI brought Codex to the ChatGPT mobile app, and Linear shipped Code Intelligence.

Cognition's Devin reached a $445M run rate with usage doubling every eight weeks. The TanStack supply-chain attack, now being called a mini Shai-Hulud, expanded across the npm ecosystem and forced affected teams into full secret rotation. Aaron Levie called forward-deployed engineering one of the most in-demand jobs in tech, the same week Google reportedly hired hundreds of FDEs.

Also covered: the Musk vs OpenAI verdict, Mercury's agent-birthing UI, Peter Steinberger's $1.3M-a-month token spend, OpenClaw on the Codex harness, Vapi's $50M Series B, Thinking Machines' first technical reveal, MCP spec deprecating Sampling/Logging/Roots, David Cramer on vendor-specific chatbots, and quick hits on Replit, Cua, OpenAI Daybreak, Files SDK, Lovable, Grok Build, Dia, CopilotKit, VS Code, Lighthouse Attention, and Bun's Rust rewrite.
