<li><strong>React moves to an independent foundation</strong>: Meta has officially transferred React, the JSX specification, and related assets to the newly formed React Foundation, hosted under the Linux Foundation. Founding members include industry heavyweights like Amazon, Microsoft, and Vercel, though existing maintainers will retain control over the technical roadmap. This shift aims to decentralize governance and ensure long-term sustainability for the ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Vf1iZDHHt" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Nvidia hits record revenue as AI demand peaks</strong>: Nvidia reported a staggering $68 billion in quarterly revenue, a 73% year-over-year increase driven almost entirely by its data center business. CEO Jensen Huang noted that even six-year-old GPUs are being fully utilized as demand for compute tokens remains exponential. Despite the growth, Nvidia disclosed zero revenue from China, acknowledging that local competitors like Moore Threads are beginning to gain traction. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/I58Ho2pR9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic acquires Vercept to boost Claude computer use</strong>: Anthropic has acqui-hired the team behind Vercept, a startup that developed a computer-use agent capable of operating remote macOS environments. The acquisition specifically targets improving Claude’s ability to interact with graphical interfaces and desktop software. Vercept’s existing product, Vy, will be shuttered in March as the founders integrate into Anthropic’s core research teams. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/VoPayj2dv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The 76 percent accuracy boost miracle</strong>: A viral claim suggests Google Research boosted LLM accuracy by 76 percentage points with ‘zero extra tokens’ and ‘zero latency.’ This originates from a single unverified tweet without a research paper or methodology, making it the ultimate ‘trust me bro’ of the week. If it sounds too good to be true in AI, it’s usually just creative math or a very specific, useless benchmark. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/73tgOim8I" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Salesforce tries to rebrand SaaS as AI agents</strong>: Marc Benioff is desperately fighting the ‘SaaSpocalypse’ narrative by claiming AI agents are the only thing keeping SaaS alive. He’s introduced ‘Agent Work Units’ as a new metric, which is just a fancy way of charging for something other than seats while the stock still drops 5% after hours. It’s a classic pivot: if your core product is stagnating, just slap an ‘Agent’ sticker on it and hope the investors don’t notice the modest organic growth. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R4O8qdc3C" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vibe coding and the death of maintainability</strong>: The industry is currently obsessed with ‘vibe coding,’ where developers delegate everything to AI and just ‘visually verify’ the results. This is essentially a high-speed factory for unmaintainable technical debt that works until the first edge case hits. We’re replacing mental models with ‘vibes,’ and the hangover is going to be brutal when these ‘locally coherent’ codebases inevitably collapse. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=7AmdNla3S&amp;id=TXNq3Eeop" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
