A little over a year ago, we killed Smartproxy. We built it into something real. Tens of thousands of users. A market that knew our name. But somewhere along the way, the name stopped fitting what we had become. And wh…

At Decodo, we've been talking a lot lately about how much attention we give to AI models and how little we give to the data they rely on. Companies keep investing in better models, expecting better results. But even the…

I've always thought the value of AI should be pretty easy to measure: does it help you do the same work faster, or get something done that previously took far more effort? If using an AI tool saves you 30 minutes but cr…

OpenAI has reportedly canceled its new model, GPT-6.1 Astra, because it lied in testing about what it had done and used outside tools without asking first. Earlier this year, Anthropic had to pause its Fable model after…

26% of Anthropic's AI R&D is now led by Claude. In February, that figure was under 1%. "Leads" means Claude handles most of a task end-to-end while a human supervises and approves the result. Nothing is fully autonomous…

The latest survey from Orgvue of C-suite executives states that 55% of the leaders who laid people off because of AI now say it was a mistake. Another enterprise AI company surveyed 6,000 workers this year and found peo…

So where's the agentic web moving with NVIDIA's acquisition of Hugging Face 🤗? Most of the coverage was about models, benchmarks, and who's ahead now. That matters because agents don't run on one model. Mid-task, they…

How many engineer-hours went into unblocking last quarter? 🤔 I ask engineers this on almost every client call. Most can't answer right away because they're not tracking it. One told me he'd spent a full week debugging…

For a while now, most of what we ship has been in service of one thing: making it easier for AI to work with real, live data from the web. The next release is the clearest expression of that yet. I can't share details.…

It feels like every AI citation tracking platform is chasing me around the internet with remarketing ads 😄 It's a fast-growing space, and for good reason. I ran a quick test on our own competitors recently, asking a fe…
