AI Takes Over Coding at Anthropic, While Factify Aims to Reinvent Digital Documents
Artificial intelligence is increasingly taking over software development roles, as evidenced by AI lab Anthropic, where engineers are reportedly outsourcing 100% of their code to AI. Meanwhile, in the realm of digital documents, startup Factify emerged from stealth with a $73 million seed round, aiming to revolutionize how businesses interact with digital files.
Boris Cherny, head of Anthropic's Claude Code, announced that he had not written any code in over two months, stating that 100% of his code was now generated by Anthropic's Claude Code and Opus 4.5, according to a post on X. Cherny claimed to have shipped 22 pull requests one day and 27 the day before, each entirely written by Claude. These comments echoed earlier remarks by Anthropic CEO.
This shift towards AI-generated code has significant implications for the future of software development jobs, according to Fortune.
In a separate development, Factify, a Tel Aviv-based startup, launched with the goal of moving beyond standard digital document formats like PDFs and .docx files. The company secured a $73 million seed round for its mission to bring digital documents into what it calls the "intelligence era," VentureBeat reported.
Matan Gavish, Factify's Founder and CEO, believes this is an inevitable software upgrade. "The PDF was developed when I was in elementary school," Gavish told VentureBeat. "The bedrock of the software ecosystem hasn't really evolved... someone has to redesign the digital document itself." Gavish, a computer science professor and Stanford PhD, has been focused on this concept for years.
These developments highlight the rapid advancements and increasing influence of AI across various sectors, from software engineering to document management.
