cursor, the AI coding tool, has acquired a new enterprise startup called koala.

And they're doing this basically to try to compete better with GitHub co-pilot.

But I think that there is so much more to this story.

I think the entire industry is going through a really interesting moment right now

with these kind of aqua hires and half hires and buying the top

talent from companies without buying the company. It's kind of crazy. We're seeing it in a big way

with another AI coding company, WinSurf that basically the leadership team got aquired by Google,

leaving the entire rest of the company to kind of defend for themselves. They were all kind

of depressed. There wasn't the big exit they defend for themselves. They were all kind of depressed.

There wasn't the big exit they hoped for, but they were actually then purchased by,

I believe, cognizant, which is the creator of Devon, the AI coding tool.

Anyways, all of these AI coding tools, I'm going to get into why so many of them exists.

But specifically, I want to talk about what just happened with koala here, because this is

more interesting than I think any of those deals.

And it's got more drama maybe, but really, really juicy, very, very interesting

based off of what's going on at koala.

Before we get into that, if you want to try any of the top AI models, I would love for you

to try out AIbox.

This is my own startup. We currently are in beta. And we have a platform that allows you to test

out the top 40 AI models with all for all for one subscription price. So for 20 bucks a month,

you get access to all of the Anthropic, Google, cohere, deep seek, meta, Microsoft,

Nvidia, OpenAI, Quinn, XAI. You get all a bunch of really interesting image models and audio models, and you can chat with all of them in the same chat thread. So you don't have to have, you know, 10 tabs open if you want to try that it use these different models, all in the same thread. You can talk with them. You could just switch your model while mid-conversation. You can switch to a new model that might be better at doing certain tasks. And you can also compare results from different models. So you can ask a question and get it to get, and you can get, you know, four different models to respond to it to see, is Google better? Is open AI better? Is Anthropic better? Is DeepSeek better answering this particular type of question? And you also can then, you know, based off of that same conversation, talk to an image model or talk to an audio model and create audio files all within the same platform for one price. So if you want to try it out, I'll leave a link in the description. It's AIbox.a.i. It's currently in beta. We're getting some great reviews, but also some really good feedback and some cool features that we're adding based off of that. So if you see anything that you think, man, I really wish there's an AI company that did X, Y, and Z thing. Let us know we're actively building and adding a whole bunch of cool new features. So yeah, we'd be, we'd be thrilled to get your feedback. All right, let's go into what is happening with Quala. So first, let's talk about the fate of Quala.
