    Meesho says AI agents let one engineer do the work of a three-person team, with server costs rising to 2.3% of NMV

    Meesho said on its Q2 FY2026-27 earnings call that AI agents have become its default way of developing software: one engineer leading a group of agents can take on the work of what used to be a three-person team, and 65% of teams are driven by a single engineer. The company said its internal productivity score rose 171% from March to September 2026, code review approval time fell 41%, and the time for a model to enter online testing shrank from 17 days to 3 days. At the same time, AI has also pushed up costs: GPU capacity increased 150%, and server costs as a share of net merchandise value (NMV) rose from 1.9% to 2.3%. The company plans to migrate some workflows to cheaper or open-weight models. Meesho also made clear it will not add a platform fee at the shopping cart stage, even though it loses about 2.4 rupees per order.

    What happens to work when your colleagues are AI agents

    The Guardian interviewed several San Francisco startups, describing the actual experience after AI agents took over tasks such as scheduling, coding, marketing, and recruiting as "colleagues." Anything has 15 human employees and about 150 agents; Lindy cut one-third of its staff and used agents to fill the roles; a McKinsey survey shows that about 40% of large organizations used AI agents in some form between May 2025 and June 2026. Employees report spending large amounts of time correcting agents' mistakes, and customers and job applicants are resistant to the way agents communicate.

    Sam Altman once considered abandoning token-based pricing, but dropped the idea due to customer opposition

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that the company had considered abandoning token-based billing for its next-generation models in favor of a model where developers submit a prompt and receive a single price directly, similar to AWS's billing model, but dropped the idea because customer feedback was extremely negative. Customers said they need to know what they are paying for, and would even rather accept inflated token counts and pay higher fees than give up itemized billing they can verify. Altman acknowledged that tokens are "a kind of fake unit" and not a good way to measure usage, but OpenAI still uses token-based pricing for now.

    Intuit on continuous close: AI lets accountants shift from year-end catch-up to daily advisors

    Dixie McCurley, Intuit's resident managing partner, said at Intuit Connect that continuous close—closing the books daily rather than weeks after month-end—is becoming possible as AI shortens the lag between transactions and advice, allowing accountants to move from passive year-end adjustments to providing daily counsel. Intuit has launched Intuit Accountant Suite for accounting firms handling hundreds to thousands of client ledgers. McCurley stressed that numerical accuracy is the foremost test, and said efficiency is merely the baseline threshold, with AI set to unleash right-brain creativity.

    AMD and Cloudera Discuss Rational Configuration of AI Infrastructure

    AMD's Jeremy Girven said at EVOLVE26 that enterprises deploying AI should rationally configure infrastructure according to business needs: if end users can accept a 30-second response, cheaper hardware can be chosen; if instant response is required, more cutting-edge hardware is needed. AMD's collaboration with Cloudera includes continuously validating the compatibility of AMD products in Cloudera deployments, and current AI solutions remain highly customized. Girven also reminded enterprises to continuously monitor utilization and adjust capacity after deployment, while watching out for hidden costs such as network egress fees.

    No-code apps help HPE cut executive status meetings: a monday.com platform practice

    HPE replaced executive status reporting with no-code apps on monday.com's AI work platform, compressing what was originally a weekly project review meeting into a monthly one. Kate Kenner, head of its strategic sourcing and planning capability community, said the first IT ticketing app was built in 24 hours; she then shifted to teaching colleagues to build their own processes, and used monday vibe to build an executive dashboard that can be exported to PowerPoint. HPE also allocates AI quotas by group, trains before opening access, and has configured an AI agent to pull live attendance data from Teams weekly, categorize it by organization and region, and flag those missing from HR records.

    monday.com security lead: Permission management lets AI agent teams move faster

    Ryan Nigro, head of the Security Trust and Enablement team at monday.com, said at the Elevate event that permission management is key to securing AI agents, and that well-designed guardrails can let teams move faster. He advocates gradually opening up AI capabilities according to the principle of least privilege, granting each tool only the minimum access it needs when it goes live, and expanding scope only after verifying the results. He cited IBM research saying that 80% to 90% of data breaches stem from human error related to excessive permissions.

    Social media is full of strange video game mashups—where do they come from?

    Anthropic's Claude can now decompile compiled game code into source code overnight and help mash up two games, turning game modding from a months-long endeavor into a single evening's work. The author notes that a large number of open-source launchers based on emulator code have appeared on GitHub, and PS5 emulation has made enormous progress, with almost any PS5 game able to run for free on PC—many of them clearly illegal. This poses a huge shock to publishers who do not want their game code made public.

    xAI Accused of Offering to Buy Homes in Exchange for Residents Dropping Data Center Noise Lawsuit

    The Guardian reports that xAI, in Southaven, Mississippi, has been offering to buy homes from residents through real estate agents on the condition that homeowners not join a class-action lawsuit over noise from its gas turbines. One agent said the goal is to purchase 418 homes, and 18 households have already agreed to sell; xAI did not respond to these figures and denies all allegations in the noise lawsuit. Local residents say the gas turbines run around the clock and produce constant noise resembling that of airplane engines, and three residents filed suit in June.
