<li><strong>Anthropic acqui-hires Vercept to boost Claude computer use</strong>: Anthropic has acquired Seattle-based startup Vercept, the team behind the ‘Vy’ agent capable of operating remote MacBooks. The move directly targets enhancing Claude’s ability to interact with graphical interfaces and desktop environments. While the Vy product will shut down in March, the acquisition has already sparked a public LinkedIn spat between early investors over the startup’s quick exit strategy. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/VoPayj2dv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>React moves to independent foundation under Linux Foundation</strong>: Meta has officially transferred React, React Native, and the JSX specification to the newly formed React Foundation, hosted by LF Projects. While Meta remains a platinum member alongside Microsoft, Amazon, and Vercel, technical direction stays with the existing maintainers. This shift aims to decentralize governance and improve global accessibility while providing a neutral home for the ecosystem’s infrastructure. <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 remains insatiable</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 compute demand scales exponentially. Despite Chinese competitors making progress, Nvidia is reportedly in talks for a $30 billion partnership with OpenAI to secure future compute capacity. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/I58Ho2pR9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Google Research claims 76 point accuracy boost for free</strong>: A single unverified tweet claims Google found a way to skyrocket LLM accuracy with ‘zero extra tokens’ and ‘zero latency.’ Without a paper or methodology, this sounds like the research equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. We’ll wait for the actual peer-reviewed data before we start rewriting our inference pipelines. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/73tgOim8I" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The SaaSpocalypse is cancelled because of AI agents</strong>: Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is pitching ‘Agent Work Units’ as the metric that will save SaaS from irrelevance. It’s a convenient narrative to distract from modest organic growth and a 5% stock dip after earnings. Apparently, we aren’t buying software anymore; we’re buying ‘meaningful task completion’—which sounds like a fancy way to rebrand the same old seat-based licenses. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R4O8qdc3C" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vibe coding is the new software engineering</strong>: The industry is currently obsessed with ‘vibe coding,’ where you just delegate everything to an agent and hope the UI looks right. This is a fantastic way to build ‘Potemkin codebases’ that look healthy but are actually unmaintainable piles of hallucinated logic. If you enjoy debugging 1,000 lines of agent-generated spaghetti for $1,100 in tokens, this trend is definitely for you. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=TXNq3Eeop&amp;id=tDNNw6qGE&amp;id=he1DQDQSY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
