Today we're officially launching @typedotcom, the shared space for your team's best AI work.
Teams need a central place to build apps, skills and automations together. Not swarms of agents.
Our ambition with Type is to be the last piece of software your team will ever need.
To build this, we've raised $4m from @LererHippeau, @haystackvc, @MatchstickVC, and angels from Slack, Github, and Ramp.
So what does Type do?
→ share work from Claude chats into a collaborative space
→ switch harness or model any time
→ manage integrations with granular permissions
→ a central place to deploy apps and automations together
→ build a self-learning company brain
→ use your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription
Companies like @rayconglobal, @Intelligems and @trueclassictees are already running tens of thousands of successful agent jobs that forecast revenue, manage inventory, answer support tickets, and a lot more.
We're blown away every day at the custom tools and automations our customers are building.
What's something you haven't yet been able to solve or automate in your business? Tell us in the comments and we'll respond by building it for you in Type!

These are short reads. The dataset was constructed such that long reads would not have helped, but there are certainly cases for which this isn't true.
More evals probing that coming soon!

Grok
From Mecha Hitler to SOTA rare-disease diagnosis in children? @spacexai's @grok 4.6 has taken the 👑 on RareBench, edging out @AnthropicAI Claude Opus 5 for about 1/3 the cost. This was not on my 2026 bingo card!
@deepseek_ai's new v4-pro-0813 model underperformed my expectations, v4-flash, and seemingly the entire internet's. We accessed using DeepSeek's 1P API on the day of release and I almost wonder if they didn't switch over their model endpoint correctly. We will re-benchmark and report back.
@Zai_org has attracted a following with GLM5.2, but they, too, underperformed. This doesn't surprise me because when I compared GLM and @Kimi_Moonshot K3 for coding use-cases, I found Kimi substantially stronger, but the internet seems to love this model.

They just raised a $12 million Series B and are already doing eight figures in annual revenue.
Full disclosure: I own equity in ALLCITY (because I think it will be massive).
