To clarify: Replit remains model agnostic. Our users can choose Anthropic models as well as many other supported models.

What I meant at TC Disrupt is that OpenAI is now our preferred partner powering Agent based on performance, cost, and strength of our partnership.

We believe in giving our users model choice while optimizing the default experience for the best performance at the best price.

BREAKING: Patrick Collison just told the Valley exactly where the next Stripe gets built.

And it's not an AI lab.

Asked what he'd build if starting from scratch, Collison pointed directly at legacy vertical software — decades-old systems still running healthcare, logistics, construction, finance.

Entire industries. Still on 1990s infrastructure.

Every ambitious founder is chasing foundation models right now.
Collison is pointing at the opposite end of the stack.

The most defensible businesses often come from the places everyone else decides are too boring to touch.

Is the Valley sleeping on the biggest opportunity in software right now?

We go really deep and somewhat technical here with the brilliant @alexatallah of OpenRouter. Enjoy!

a16z@a16z

.@OpenRouter co-founder Alex Atallah, in his first podcast since Stripe acquired the company, joins @Replit co-founder Amjad Masad and a16z's Erik Torenberg on why the future of AI is independence and specialization.

In this conversation, Alex walks through how the Stripe deal unfolded, why he wasn't originally looking to sell, and why "payments and inference are going to blend together."

Pre-OpenRouter, the typical AI workflow had one model provider to choose from, and little pressure on that provider to lower prices. Now enterprises are diversifying across labs and open-weight models, and every board is asking about AI costs and benchmarks.

Amjad argues if your company depends on one AI lab, it can turn into your competitor. So Replit is building the layer that lets enterprises use any model and any cloud, without being locked into either.

Alex and Amjad are split on personal agents – Amjad runs one agent across his whole company and loves the cross-domain joins, while Alex says general agents cause you to sacrifice understanding, and argues 10 specialized chiefs of staff beats one superagent.

We’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to build the self-driving company. A big part of that is putting the ability to understand a business in everyone's hands. 

Atta has built a beautiful approach to business analysis and data visualization, and they share our belief that useful intelligence should be accessible to everyone.

Welcoming Omar, Amine, and the Atta team to Replit!

Omar Shaik@omarshaik

I'm thrilled to announce that @Replit has acquired @attaapp, bringing our world-class AI analytics to everyone.

Two years ago, I cold emailed @amasad asking him to invest in Atta.
He and @pirroh saw an early demo of our charts and data apps on an infinite canvas and wrote a check the same day.

@aminert and I founded Atta to democratize business analysis.
We empowered the people closest to the business problems to understand their data, communicate their insights, and make better decisions.

No SQL. No cleaning up AI slop. No picking the right analytical method, the right visualization, or even which model to use at what effort.
You simply connected your data and we took it from there.

Earlier this year, two public companies ran their Q1 QBRs on Atta.
At one of them, the top 50 execs replaced their SaaS tools with decks and docs built in Atta, connected directly to their data warehouse.

We're excited to continue our mission at Replit, where it will reach business leaders everywhere.

Joining Replit means the world to me.

I grew up in a low-income, immigrant community outside Chicago where nobody knew anything about computers, so I taught myself.

I wrote my first line of code on Codecademy in 2012.
My mom still remembers me running over to show her a Python function that passed all its tests.

When Replit came out as a cloud-based terminal, it was the perfect place to practice coding challenges with my younger siblings, both software engineers now.
(I later realized Amjad also built Codecademy before founding Replit!)

Learning to code pulled my family out of generational poverty even though most people had already written us off.

Thank you to our families for patiently enduring the joys of startup life.
Thank you to our team and advisors who helped build Atta along the way.
Thank you to our customers who trusted Atta with their highest-stakes decisions.
Thank you to @MenloVentures (@mejoff, @shawnvc ), who supported us from inception to design partners to our first annual contracts.

And thank you to Amjad and Michele for the opportunity to continue pursuing our dreams.

After we pitched Atta, Amjad suggested we co-work from the Replit office.
We're here now, and we're loving it.

Amjad Masad with Gagan Biyani and Erik Torenberg on HAA: The Horowitz Andreessen Academy

The ideal education today is a place with room to meander, a space to go heads-down when you’re obsessed, alongside unconventional peers.

Gagan sees it in every student he meets: the interesting thing they're building is happening outside class, unsupported. Amjad got really into chess and it evolved into a whole product line. The thesis behind HAA is side quests shouldn't be on the side.

No grades, no tests. Trust is the design principle - Silicon Valley runs on it, so why not apply it to students? Empower ambitious young people to run with the ideas that have real gravity they can’t avoid.

Replit acquires a business entirely built on Replit. I expect first of many to come.

Test 13 is joining @Replit .

18 months ago, @gunnarkolbeins and I started Test 13 on a simple belief:

AI is changing how software is made, and as a team of two, we should be able to:

1. Build a portfolio of profitable SaaS solutions by throwing spaghetti at a wall and see what sticks

2. Offer our local market 60-80% lower prices on software services (contracting gigs and agency work)

Replit made that possible.

In 18 months, we generated over $700k and our business was growing 400%+ YoY.

More importantly, we got to solve real problems, and work with an incredible group of customers who took a chance on us. I’m deeply grateful to every one of them.

Today, Replit has acquired Test 13.

I'm thrilled to be joining the company that gave us super powers and excited to help give that same leverage to builders like us, all around the world.

Earlier this year, I sent Replit’s founder @amasad a message that said:

"The Icelandic market is tiny, and sometimes it feels like I’m geographically isolated from where the frontier of AI innovation is happening. Test 13 is helping businesses solve real problems, but it still feels low impact compared to what’s happening globally right now as AI reshapes literally everything. I want to spend the next decade building at the center of this AI shift, not watching it happen from the sidelines in a tiny market."

A few months later, here we are.

Thank you Amjad for keeping an open mind, being terminally online, and ultimately giving us the opportunity to join the amazing team at Replitopolis.

And thank you to everyone who has been part of Test 13.

What an incredible 18 months.

Now back to building.

Lots of risk with AI. I worry a lot about cybersecurity for example. However, “extinction risk” — literally 100% of humans die — is not remotely one of them.
