🛎️ Lovable Hits 8M

Plus: OpenAI Poached Intel’s CTO, Gamma Breaks the PowerPoint Curse

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

In the AI era, the tools we use to think are evolving faster than the companies that built them.

RECORD

Lovable Hits 8M Users, Proving Why “Vibe Coding” Owns 2025

📌 What’s happening: Stockholm-based Lovable has exploded from 2.3 million users in July to nearly 8 million by November — a 3.5x jump in just four months. Founded barely a year ago, the AI coding platform now sees 100,000 new products built every day, powered by an interface that feels more like co-creation than software development. Investors are circling at a rumored $5B valuation, though CEO Anton Osika insists the company “isn’t capital constrained.”

🧠 How this hits reality: Lovable is the living proof of why “vibe coding” became Collins’ 2025 Word of the Year — code as collaboration, not syntax; creativity as contagion. Developers aren’t typing, they’re vibing their way to products, remixing AI outputs like TikToks.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Lovable didn’t just make coding easier — it made code itself the culture.

TOGETHER WITH TRAE

The Best AI Coding tool TRAE is going to officially release SOLO Mode on November 12th. TRAE SOLO is defined as "The Responsive Coding Agent" and completely FREE to use for everyone!

TRAE (The Real Al Engineer) is the most price-competitive coding agent. It provides two ways for you to build with AI. IDE mode preserves your existing workflow when you need to maintain hands-on control, while SOLO mode lets AI take the lead to drive the entire development processes.

SOLO Mode: SOLO is the only coding agent with a comprehensive GUI, bringing autonomous coding to an interactive visual workspace. You can simply delegate tasks and watch SOLO ship complete software solutions using the right context and tools.
IDE Mode: agentic coding assistant with comprehensive IDE features, real-time AI assistance, and smart code completions.

🧠 Why it matters: SOLO isn’t just another AI assistant — it’s the first Responsive Coding Agent, introducing a new development paradigm where agents build, debug, and deploy while you orchestrate the vision.

👉 Try TRAE SOLO free on November 12 and experience the future of agentic software engineering.

OpenAI Hires Intel’s CTO Just as Its CFO Shakes Market Faith

📌 What’s happening: Within days of its CFO’s “AI financing backstop” remarks wiping $500B off tech markets, OpenAI quietly announced it had poached Intel CTO Sachin Katti. The veteran chip architect, once in charge of Intel’s AI roadmap, will now “design and build compute infrastructure” for OpenAI — a line that sounds routine but signals a deeper recalibration.

🧠 How this hits reality: The timing isn’t coincidence; it’s calibration. As questions swirl around OpenAI’s capital structure and its reliance on partners like CoreWeave, the company is racing to pull more of its compute destiny in-house. Katti brings precisely what OpenAI lacks: someone who can fuse hyperscale software ambition with hardware sovereignty. In a market built on borrowed GPUs and shaky energy promises, from Neocloud ventures to debt-stacked datacenter deals, that’s as close to insurance as it gets.

🛎️ Key takeaway: OpenAI isn’t just chasing more compute; it’s bracing for when the cloud bubble bursts.

STARTUP

Gamma Breaks the PowerPoint Curse

📌 What’s happening: Gamma, the AI-native storytelling platform, just raised $68M at a $2.1B valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz, crossing $100M ARR with only 50 employees and $23M in prior funding. While most AI startups are still sprinting toward unicorn status, Gamma quietly vaulted past it, proving that the next generation of productivity giants won’t need giant payrolls.

🧠 How this hits reality: Gamma’s trajectory isn’t just about slides; it’s about labor efficiency. A $2.1B company run by 50 people is the new productivity gospel: agents over armies, margins over headcount. In a market where “AI-native” is often a marketing line, Gamma is showing what it actually looks like in practice — less staff, more leverage, faster compounding.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Gamma didn’t just kill PowerPoint; it killed the idea that scale needs people.
