Cognition CEO denies report that SpaceX tried to acquire the startup

TechCrunch 2 months ago 39

SpaceX attempted to acquire AI coding startup Cognition, but Cognition’s CEO Scott Wu denied the claim that any deal talks took place. The report references SpaceX’s $60 billion acquisition of Cursor that closed last week. As a result, Cognition said it is not for sale and that talks haven’t occurred, even as the companies could still explore cooperation.

Codex can now keep coding while it waits for your answer

The New Stack 2 months ago 18

OpenAI merged an asynchronous user-messaging tool into Codex so an agent can ask a developer a question, keep working on unrelated tasks, and later incorporate the developer’s reply. The change uses accepted responses from send_user_message_async and then continues the model’s turn, with the update “Still investigating.” returned for the same test cycle. Codex no longer has to block on input, but it can still proceed past unresolved choices without checkpointing or automatic rollback, leaving it to handle any conflicts after the reply arrives.

Adronite launches Codistry AI coding platform, claims half the token cost

SiliconANGLE 2 months ago 53

Adronite launched Codistry, an AI coding platform that uses a patented context engine to map codebases and feed models only relevant code sections, reducing token consumption. In benchmarks against Claude Code on comparable tasks, Codistry consumed roughly half the tokens, lowering per-task costs by 48% (from $2.12 to $1.10 on PocketBase). This approach allows enterprises to use AI coding tools on proprietary code without sending it to external endpoints, targeting regulated industries and companies with IP protection concerns.
