A few years ago, I was helping people design and build custom homes. I expected the hard part to be construction. Instead, I became obsessed with something that happened much earlier. People had questions about what was possible, but getting answers often required weeks or months of work. Then AI started making it dramatically easier to explore possibilities in other creative domains - images, music, video, coding. It made me wonder: What happens when exploring architecture becomes easy too? That's what eventually became Drafted. We believe AI can make it dramatically easier for people to imagine, explore, and ultimately shape the physical world around them.
1/4 Most people spend their lives living in buildings they had little influence over. We believe AI can help change that. Over the last month, 120,000 people generated 325,000+ home designs with Drafted.ai Today, we're excited to share that we've raised a $16M Seed led by Buckley Ventures to continue building multimodal generative models for residential architecture and spatial design. Here's a glimpse of what we're building:

With CVEs having gone parabolic, the only way to fight is automatically We will now mitigate known vulnerable versions automatically for users Much more to come here!
Railway now automatically patches and redeploys services and functions affected by known vulnerabilities (CVEs) Workspace admins receive an in-app notification and an email after the update is applied. You can also review the upgrade in your project's activity feed

Your sleep cycle in a pill is an incredible idea
Today, @takezest is launching the world’s first 2-in-1 melatonin and caffeine capsule. It is the first product of its kind that helps to reset your sleep schedule and support your circadian rhythm. We are also announcing Zest RX: clinician-led care for sleep and wakefulness, built for the modern era of superintelligence. Sleep medicine is stuck in the past: the most prescribed sleep drugs are decades old, often addictive, and sedate you instead of letting you truly rest. We’re excited to finally bring sleep medicine into the 21st century.

The security incident is resolved for existing users. We value transparency, and thus will continue to provide updates until all surface areas of Railway are fully operational. Why is Railway still not accepting new signups? Railway’s services are fully restored for our 5 million existing users. To securely and reliably support market demand, we have paused new signups as we prioritize uptime during this recovery period. We will reopen signups this week to continue supporting the ambition of product builders worldwide. How can I get a refund for fraudulent AI spend on other platforms? Railway is unable to refund customers for spend performed with compromised API keys. However, we encourage you to reach out to AI token providers directly. Afterwards, please submit a support request at station.railway.​com with timestamps, prompts, and addition proof of fraudulent spend so we can escalate the request on your behalf. More information to follow. What is Railway doing to improve security moving forward? This week, we have already or are actively implementing a new generation of builder, encryption, and logging systems. Railway has been acknowledged as critical cyber infrastructure, allowing us to utilize to previously inaccessible tooling to provide best-in-class security for our users. Our goal has never been to simply get back to where we were. As more of the world's software gets built and run by agents alongside humans, security stops being one team's concern and becomes everyone’s ground floor. With these improvements, Railway will continue to be the best place for humans and agents to bring software to life. We'll keep sharing updates in the link below status.railway.com/incident/…

6.1 Terra is here! It is good at a lot of things, but we are especially excited for this new era of computer use.
GPT-6.1 Terra: delivering fast and capable computer use at a lower price. GPT-6.1 Terra understands what’s on screen, takes action across apps, writes naturally, and is a more capable model for your whole workday with the efficiency to take on more of it.

That’s crazy
Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

I benchmarked 5 object storage providers from 6 locations around the world I included: - @awscloud S3 - @Cloudflare R2 - @Railway Buckets - @Backblaze B2 - @neondatabase Storage It used Files SDK to make it as fair as possible Here's a summary 👇 (this is also a thread)

With so much data accessible to make trades and the intelligence of AI models, agentic trading makes a ton of sense.
Introducing Catalyst. What do you believe? How would you trade on it? You notice data centers are popping-up everywhere, gold will skyrocket, or just know that Labubus will go out of fashion. Catalyst researches your ideas, builds the optimal strategy, monitors events, and executes trades. Autonomously.

Super excited to see what architects and drafters do with this!
Introducing Drafted in Revit. Draw a footprint, add your room list, and 5 AI generated floor plans come back in 45 seconds, built as native Revit walls, floors, roofs, doors, windows, and rooms.

Designing the right roof used to mean hours of tweaking parameters. With Drafted, you can now sculpt a roof in minutes.
