Today, @almanax transitions from beta to general availability (GA). What happens when the number of lines of code engineers produce goes up 100x thanks for coding assistants like Cursor? How are security teams supposed to handle that? We believe AI will change security the same way it’s changing software engineering. Almanax is an AI security engineer designed to help security teams prevent hacks. Sign up on app.almanax.ai and integrate LLMs in your security processes.

Had a great time at Farcon. Great to see the faces behind all the pfps I interacted with here :) And here's an article on why you should never change it from @rrhoover https://www.ryanhoover.me/post/why-i-never-change-my-profile-pic

Almanax was featured by PitchBook in their report on the top startups at Paris Blockchain Week. Love their comparison with Datadog. 👇 "Almanax, one of the three Start in Block competition winners, sets out to become the AI “security engineer” that Web3 sorely lacks. The team’s thesis is that nearly $9 billion has been stolen from crypto projects in just three years, and the attack surface is expanding faster than human auditors or rule-based scanners can cope. Almanax applies large language model (LLM) agents to reason across entire codebases—smart contracts, traditional back-end services, and even software supply chain dependencies—and flags exploitable logic with far fewer false positives than legacy static analysis tools."

Today I learned that Cursor writes almost 1 billion lines of accepted code a day. To put it in perspective, the entire world supposedly produces just a few billion lines a day.

Many products out there feel like “AI Horseless Carriages” —traditional interfaces with some AI sprinkled here and there. Gmail’s AI assistant is a clear one. Great essay by Pete Koomen https://koomen.dev/essays/horseless-carriages/

Earlier this month, we were selected as one of the winners of the Paris Blockchain Week startup competition. You don’t often see security getting this level of recognition, but the tides are shifting. Companies are beginning to recognize the growing cyber risk — and that AI will play a key role in addressing it. Watch me share the Almanax vision for an AI Security Engineer. https://x.com/AlmanaxAI/status/1915099579474719086
