Another day of what’s happening in AI/tech.View quoted post on X
New models, weights dropping, companies coming out of stealth, funding rounds and an acquisition announcement.
Here are 16 things from November 4 that caught my attention 👇
1. @cognition — SWE-2 Flash
A new coding model based on Thinking Machines’ Inkling-Small, with 276B total and 12B active parameters. Cognition says it’s 3× faster at one-fifth the cost of SWE-2. Free through November for Pro, Max and Teams users in Devin Desktop and CLI. A controlled weight-access program is planned for partners and researche
2. @Kimi_Moonshot — K3.1 Pro weights released
The weights are now on Hugging Face. @ollama also announced cloud access is coming shortly, with US hosting and zero data retention. Public weights are available; Ollama’s hosted rollout was still pending in its announcement. Weights
3. @TencentHunyuan — Hy4
Adds visual understanding and computer use for tasks involving images, charts and software interfaces. Hosted access is available now, with downloadable weights and system cards promised in the coming days.
4. @TencentHunyuan — HyCell and HyPDE
Tencent also announced two open-sourced scientific models: HyCell for single-cell representations and HyPDE for physics fields. These are research tools for biology and physics.
5. @OpenAI + @pierrecomputer — acquisition agreement
OpenAI announced plans to acquire Pierre, the team behind Code Storage and developer tools already used in Codex. The goal is to bring more Git, source-control and code-review capabilities into Codex. The deal still needs to close.
6. @phaze_in — $8.75M seed
The Parsec founders are back with remote workstations for people and AI agents. Think giving an agent access to a computer running demanding applications like Blender. a16z led the round.
7. @usecowboy — out of stealth with $5M
A platform for deploying and selling AI agents, skills, models and data feeds. Cowboy Cloud and its General Store are available now, giving developers somewhere to run their agents and offer them for hire.
8. @sentrasecurity — $150M
Capital One Ventures led the investment. Sentra helps companies find sensitive data, see which employees and agents can reach it, and remove risky permissions. As more agents get connected to company systems, that access becomes a bigger job to manage.
9. @CrowdStrike — detecting threats from internal AI agents
Announced Agent Insider Threat Detection and general availability of coordinated multi-agent investigations. The focus is recognizing abnormal agent behavior and investigating across systems, even when no existing rule has been broken.
10. Pliant — $80M Series C
Payment infrastructure for businesses and AI agents. The funding supports international expansion and its AI roadmap, including connecting agents directly to business payment workflows. Seaya Nova and Speedinvest led.
11. Brava Security — out of stealth with $15M
Building technology to test whether security systems would actually spot an attack. It models the evidence an attack would leave to expose gaps in monitoring and detection. F2 Venture Capital and Pitango led the seed round.
12. Shackleton AI — out of stealth with $5M
AI agents for construction paperwork and coordination: drafting requests for information, chasing overdue submissions, flagging budget changes and turning field notes into daily reports. Battery Ventures led.
13. Finpilot / @lakshay2001 — $10M Series A
AI agents for institutional investment teams at universities, pensions, foundations and hospitals. The focus is handling recurring information-gathering and operational work so those teams can spend more time on investment decisions. Lobby Capital led, with Madrona participating.
14. @CrediflowAI — £1.5M
Turns financial statements, bank records and borrower documents into structured credit analysis for commercial lenders. The funding supports product development and engineering hires.
