Anthropic × SpaceX, the Services Wars & HTML Is the New Markdown | This Week In AI
Shane and Abhi bring you a new batch of AI news.
Anthropic strikes a compute deal with SpaceX. The same day, they double Claude Code's rate limits and raise API rate limits for Opus.
Corgi launches AI Coverage — insurance for when your AI messes up — plus a $160M Series B.
Jarred Sumner says Robobun is the top contributor to Bun, then quietly tries rewriting Bun in Rust. It passes 99.8% of the test suite.
OpenAI and Anthropic both announce vertically integrated AI services companies. OpenAI launches the Deployment Company, a consortium of 19 investment firms and SIs. Anthropic teams up with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs on a parallel firm for the mid-market.
Anthropic ships financial services agent templates, brings Claude Platform to AWS as GA, and launches Dreaming in Managed Agents — offline memory consolidation Anthropic calls REM sleep for your agent.
Terminal-Bench 2.1 ships with a public audit. WorkOS releases Horizon, a self-driving codebase. Shopify releases River, an agent that lives in Slack and is available only in public channels.
Coinbase cuts 14%. Brian Armstrong attributes it to market plus AI. Elad Gil's framing of the AI productivity throughline gets co-signed by Andreessen. Braintrust confirms a breach.
Thariq says HTML is the new Markdown. Karpathy co-signs.
Ramp Labs publishes how they used Prime-RL post-training to build a spreadsheets agent faster than Opus and almost as fast as Haiku 4.5.
OpenAI's big week: GPT-Realtime 2, Codex in Chrome, ChatGPT in Excel and Google Sheets. Google's quiet week: Gemini 3.1 flash-lite, Gemma 4 up to 3x faster, File Search multi-modal. ERNIE 5.1 approaches SOTA at ~6% of the cost.
AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer. Mondays, 12PM Pacific.

WHAT IS MASTRA?
Mastra is an open-source TypeScript framework designed for building and shipping AI-powered applications and agents with minimal friction. It supports the full lifecycle of agent development—from prototype to production. You can integrate it with frontend and backend stacks (e.g., React, Next.js, Node) or run agents as standalone services. If you're a JavaScript or TypeScript developer looking to build an agentic or AI-powered product without starting from first principles, Mastra provides the scaffolding, tools, and integrations to accelerate that process.
