Datasette Agent

We just announced the first release of Datasette Agent, a new extensible AI assistant for Datasette. I've been working on my LLM Python library for just over three years now, and Datasette Agent represents the moment that LLM and Datasette finally come together. I'm really excited about it! Datasette Agent provides a conversational interface for asking questions of the data you have stored in Datasette. Add the datasette-agent-charts plugin and it can generate charts of your data as well. The…

The Agentic P&L: Beyond the Empire of Headcount

For over a century, both the prestige and budget of a corporate department have been measured by a single crude metric: headcount. If you manage 500 people, you’re a “distinguished leader.” If you manage five, you’re a footnote. This “empire of headcount” has governed everything from office square footage to C-suite influence. It’s the fundamental […]

The Agent Stack Bet

The following article originally appeared on the Elevate newsletter and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. Peek under the hood of most “production agents” shipping today and you won’t find intelligence. You’ll find custom plumbing, fragile session logic, shared service accounts, and a security model held together by hope. This can be so […]

Quoting SpaceX S-1

We have the ability to use compute resources to support our proprietary AI applications (such as Grok 5, which is currently being trained at COLOSSUS II), while also providing access to select compute capacity to third-party customers. For example, in May 2026, we entered into Cloud Services Agreements with Anthropic PBC (“Anthropic”), an AI research and development public benefit corporation, with respect to access to compute capacity across COLOSSUS and COLOSSUS II. Pursuant to these…

Coruna Respawned: Compromised art-template npm Package Leads to iOS Browser Exploit Kit

Early on May 20th, 2026, the Socket Threat Research team detected signals of a package compromise leading to a sophisticated payload targeting a broad range of iOS devices with a watering-hole attack similar in style to the delivery of the Coruna exploit kit. After careful analysis, a plethora of similarities to that campaign emerged, indicating that a threat actor intended to use a package supply-chain compromise to deliver iOS browser exploits. Repository Takeover Leads to Package Compromise…

Google I/O, Gemini Spark, Antigravity

It's hard to find much to write about Google I/O this year because I have a policy of not writing about anything that I can't try out myself, and a lot of the big announcements are "coming soon". I actually prefer to write about things that are in general availability, because I've had instances in the past where the previews didn't match what was released to the general public later on. Aside from Gemini 3.5 Flash the most interesting announcement looks to be Google's upcoming OpenClaw…

Socket raises $60M Series C at $1B valuation led by Thrive Capital to secure AI-driven software development

Today we're announcing Socket's $60 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation, led by Thrive Capital, with participation from Andreessen Horowitz, Abstract Ventures, and Capital One Ventures. The round brings our total funding to $125 million and sets up the next phase of what we're building to protect the software supply chain. This is the moment we've been working toward since we started Socket. AI has changed how every engineering team writes and ships code, increasing the volume of open…

datasette-agent-charts 0.1a1

Release: datasette-agent-charts 0.1a1 More color! Bar and waffle charts without a color column are shaded by magnitude with a sequential color scheme; color columns holding text values use the observable10 categorical scheme. #2 Now checks execute-sql permission before running the query to find the column names. Charts now display interactive tooltips. Fixed a bug where waffleY charts were not described to the agent. Tags: datasette, datasette-agent
