This partnership with @OpenAI is long overdue. Before Replit was in YC, PG asked Sam to recruit us. Here’s Sam telling the story of how we first met:
Replit Free Mode, powered by @OpenAI GPT-5.6 Luna. Let’s make intelligence accessible to everyone.

Excited to announce the Cosign Awards: celebrating exceptional people, companies, and products that had a massive impact in 2026. cosign.co/awards Anyone can nominate and vote. Award winners will be chosen by the public in conjunction with a panel of judges, including industry leaders like @lennysan, @packyM, @amasad, and many more. We’ll host an event in December honoring the winners (10 per category). For people categories, we’re mostly focused on everyone except the CEO–everyone else building the company behind the scenes. Companies with the most amount of people nominations will be listed on our “Top Companies to Work For” page. True to form, at Product Hunt I helped launch the Golden Kitty awards a decade ago to recognize great products. Soon after I launched the Rise Awards, honoring executives and ICs building companies that make them. The Cosign Awards is the next iteration. We have 41 categories across people, companies, and products. People categories: - Future Founders - Rising Stars - Engineering - FDE - Product - Design - AI Researchers - Marketing - Comms - Growth - Chief of Staff - Operations - Talent - Finance - Public Intellectuals - Podcaster of the Year - Newsletter Author of the Year - Poster of the Year Company categories: - Rising Stars - Best Place to Work - Founder Mafia - Talent Density - Highest Aura Product categories: - Product of the Year - Launch of the Year - AI Assistant - AI Language Model - AI Coding - Dev Tools - Open Source - Consumer - Productivity - Creative & Media Tools - Product Design & UX - Enterprise B2B - Hardware - Robotics - Self-Driving - Healthcare - Vertical Fintech - Legal

I’m thrilled to release this course on Context Engineering!
Models perform worse as their context grows. In Context Engineering, built in partnership with @trychroma you'll learn to give agents the right information, in the right format, at the right time. Taught by @jeffreyhuber with guest speaker @dbreunig. Enroll for free: bit.ly/4BxLVA3

Actually though, Replit charts are underrated... inline, responsive, resizable, exportable, etc. everything you could ever want. But also I didn't know the price of Chipotle bowls could vary this much within the Bay. 😯
Customer dropoff? Replit can look into that for you. Just ask for analyzed data and insightful charts. No SQL, no rebuilding over and over again. So you can focus on driving business outcomes.

Replit made a highlight reel for itself to celebrate #2 on Slides Arena
BREAKING: Replit by @Replit ranks at #2 on Slides Arena with an Elo of 1279! It is the highest-rated slides builder under 8 minutes and generates decks ~24% faster than #1, establishing a new Pareto frontier for Speed vs. Preference. Replit places ahead of Gamma 5 by @GammaApp, Manus 1.6 by @ManusAI, and Claude Opus 4.6 by @Anthropic, trailing only Playyy. Congrats to the @Replit team!

The AI building boom is moving inside the firewall. Replit will now deploy into your own cloud, so the data never leaves home. Amjad Masad is pointing it at government, finance and healthcare. In sensitive work, the tools have to come to the data. What would your team build if data residency stopped being the blocker?
Your data belongs to you! We’ll deploy Replit to your cloud and data never leaves home. Designed for high stakes environments like governments, finance, and healthcare.

For most tasks on Replit, OpenAI models now offer the best cost-per-performance (even vs. open source) We’re glad to call them our preferred partner, while still offering users other options
To clarify: Replit remains model agnostic. Our users can choose Anthropic models as well as many other supported models. What I meant at TC Disrupt is that OpenAI is now our preferred partner powering Agent based on performance, cost, and strength of our partnership. We believe in giving our users model choice while optimizing the default experience for the best performance at the best price.

Replitを自社のクラウドに置けるようになりました。Azure、Google Cloud、AWSに対応したBYOCは3段階。 ・Full BYOC:Replitプラットフォームごと自社クラウドへ(プライベートプレビュー) ・BYOC for Published Apps:公開アプリのホスティングを自社テナントに(アーリーアクセス) ・Image Exports:DockerイメージとTerraformで自社運用(アーリーアクセス) Agentのハーネスまで自社環境のセル内で動くのが大きい。日本の企業と話していると、最後に引っかかるのはいつもデータの置き場所。その壁を越える選択肢がようやく揃いました。
We’re introducing Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) for Replit, with options for development and production in your cloud, whether you use @Azure, @GoogleCloud, or @AWScloud. Our approach gives security and platform teams greater isolation and control while preserving the familiar Replit experience. Explore BYOC: replit.com/blog/bring-your-o…

Fascinating to see Mathematicians go through all the stages of grief — Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance — in such a compressed window of time. We're at the tail end of depression and entering acceptance.
Mathematician Terence Tao: "we're seeing the end of the romantic era of mathematics, the age of heroes. we're moving into an industrial era where math becomes large-scale, done in big teams like the other sciences" We're entering, rather unwillingly, a new era where exciting new things are possible, but some things are being lost

when I asked Claude to translate something spicy from Hebrew
🚨 ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt reveals in Israel that he's been working with all the top AI Frontier Labs to push them to suppress "anti-Semitism." "We've been working with the Frontier Labs—OpenAI, Anthropic, Alphabet, the company that runs Gemini, Google, Meta, who runs Muse, and others, X, who run Grok—testing their models and using the results to push them to do better." "We've had excellent collaboration with Silicon Valley." "We've run the tests and seen where anti-Semitism shows up and helped them develop strategies to tackle it right in the source code."

Patrick Collison with Amjad Masad on why AI will be like food: essential to everything, and still not where most of the value goes. Amjad: "There's also this trend of saying that the foundation lab companies are gonna be able to capture a big part of at least new business creation, but perhaps the economy. It's like there's no reason to compete with ChatGPT or Claude because they're just gonna roll over us." Patrick: "Without food, there really would not be much economy or humanity. It is a truly necessary ingredient in production. And yet, most of the economy is not captured by food producers." "The idea that AI is going to be hugely important and abundant in the future does not necessarily mean that all the value is gonna be captured by these AI labs." "The value of any company is in proportion to what its customers can pay it. And so if there's one company in the economy, that's in fact not a very valuable company... Prices and value accrue to that which is scarce." "I think it would be a terrible reason not to start a company because you think that... any given company or sector will gobble everything up. That's not how things have worked through history." Full conversation: youtube.com/watch?v=YgYiF86h… @patrickc @stripe @amasad @Replit

You can pause frontier research today, and it would take AI another 10 years to diffuse into the economy. We're working with solutions partners to accelerate that.
Clients don’t come to agencies for more software proposals. They come for solutions. The Replit Solutions Partner Program helps the SIs, agencies, and consultancies who turn those briefs into working software on Replit. It brings training and a referral-first partnership model to the work partners are already doing. The goal is simple: help partners deliver for their clients and bring Replit to more businesses.
