Anthropic’s Bun acquisition reveals a shift: speed and integrated runtimes are becoming strategic weapons in AI development. From latency-sensitive code generation to startup time and dependency installation, performance now drives competitive moats. Viewing this move through engineering, product, enterprise security, and open-source lenses shows it's more than speed — it's vertical integration of the AI factory. We'll unpack technical trade-offs, vendor lock-in risks, and how this could reshape developer experience, enterprise supply chains, and competitor responses.

What We'll Discuss:
- ⚙️ Runtime performance as a competitive moat
- 🏭 Vertical integration and the “AI factory” idea
- 🔒 Vendor lock-in and supply-chain risk
- 🧭 Developer velocity vs. roadmap capture
- 🌐 Open-source community implications
- 🤝 Strategic responses for enterprises and rivals
