Matty Carey (Cloudflare): Code Mode, Demo Days & Agents Week
Matty Carey covers AI Demo Days' expansion from London across Europe, why the London AI scene is getting 'more vibey', and his Cloudflare work on MCP, Code Mode and programmatic tool calling ahead of next week's Agents Week. He recounts Lockheed Martin happily executing LLM-generated code as evidence that even regulated enterprises are adapting, and argues security will decide who wins. On Mythos he guesses it's a GPT-4.5-scale model that may now be economical to serve, and predicts more companies will 'slop fork' legacy software to make it their own.
DeepMind Sponsor & Anthropic's Mythos Marketing
Swyx says Google DeepMind was the conference's dream presenting sponsor and that he hoped to feature Demis Hassabis, who is ironically in San Francisco. He argues the AI engineer is the chief beneficiary of fierce model-lab competition, since the industry stays neutral and everyone benefits from choice. On Anthropic's Mythos, he calls the 'too dangerous to release' rollout over-marketed and speculates there is a broader narrative game tied to US politics and OpenAI's IPO beyond raw benchmarks.
