Excited to be hosting our 2nd annual ElevenLabs Startups Grant Demo Day with some great judges in @i_am_holt, @lhchavez, & @clairejyz! This is a great event to showcase how some of our top founders are building using @ElevenLabs itself. Applications open today until Oct 7th and we'll select the top 11 to pitch at our virtual demo day with the top 3 getting cash prizes of up to $33k + the opportunity to present at the 11/11 Summit! demoday.elevenlabs.io/
We're excited to host the 2nd annual ElevenLabs Startup Grants Virtual Demo Day on October 21st. 11 founders from our Startup Grants program will pitch their companies powered by ElevenLabs. The top three will win cash prizes of up to $33K and go on to present at our 11/11 Summit in New York.

Manual testing isn't dying. It's already being outpaced by AI agents that test while you sleep. And in August, 75,000+ engineers from 120+ countries are meeting to figure out what comes next. TestMu Conf 2026 (Aug 19–21, virtual, 100% FREE) 🎯 The lineup is unreal: → CTO of Replit @lhchavez → Thomas Dohmke (yes, the former GitHub CEO) @ashtom → Engineers from Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft & Databricks 80+ sessions on agentic engineering, autonomous QA, and AI-native testing. Plus $15,000 in prizes. Here's my honest take: The engineers who thrive in 2027 won't be the ones who "learned AI." They'll be the ones who learned to orchestrate it. This is 3 days of exactly that. For free. From your desk. 🔗 Registration link in comments 👇 ♻️ RETWEET so your QA network doesn't miss this.

earlier this week, @Replit rolled out a minimal kernel to our shiny new microVMs. today, we discovered that the minimal kernel is immune to "pedit COW" a.k.a. CVE-2026-46331. the platform infrastructure team gets to not scramble to fix a kernel bug this weekend 🎉

the day has come: new Linux kernel vulnerability dropped and @Replit users were not affected, courtesy of the fact that we just migrated all projects to use MicroVMs powered by cloud-hypervisor.

it took at least... (counts)... _four_ major supply-chain attacks for the npm ecosystem to finally start implementing measures against this family of preventable issues. at last we're finally moving in the right direction! (also, Replit's default minimumReleaseAge saved us)

last Saturday, @Replit was free for 24h. we had planned for 2-3x increase in traffic and were surprised by the level of turnout: ~4x at peak. despite that extra load, and thanks to some short-term interventions, we were able to give everyone that wanted to participate a good experience. super proud of the team for pulling this off!
Hundreds of thousands of you unleashed your creativity on Replit Agent this weekend -- completely free. Our infrastructure handled ~4× the usual load, with tens of thousands of agents running in parallel. A real test of our scale, and a powerful reminder of how passionate this community is. Thank you for building with us 🧡

Security of the apps you build on Replit is one of the most important problems we work on. Established tech companies built up robust practices built around expert reviewers and internal infrastructure. AI and Cloud means we can bring this to everybody. Each day, we're going to get one step closer to bringing state of the art practices to every builder. Keep your eyes on this channel for the next couple of weeks...

Vibe coding is changing how software gets built. But as AI agents write more of our code, the question security teams are asking has shifted from "Can AI build this?" to "Can I trust what AI builds?". At Replit, we believe the answer has to be yes, not through blind faith, but through architecture. Every layer of the Replit infrastructure where customer code runs, from the development sandbox to the production deployment, is designed with defense in depth. The Replit platform itself, our control plane, is also implemented with these principles in mind. No single control is the last line of defense. Every layer assumes the one above it might fail. This thread is a detailed walkthrough of how we think about security across the stack, written for the people who need to evaluate it: CISOs, security engineers, and teams considering Replit for production workloads. 🧵

Even though every layer of the system has been hardened to provide security robustness, security incidents can still happen. Sometimes, these incidents happen due to external influences or supply-chain attacks. At Replit, every single security incident is handled with urgency because users’ data is at stake. Trust is something that has to be earned over time, and can be easily lost by not going above and beyond. Every incident is also a learning opportunity: every root cause that we find becomes a hardening effort so that the incident itself no longer repeats itself, but also fix any adjacent problems that were surfaced by the incident, and tighten up defenses in other parts of the stack.

No single layer is the whole story. Each one assumes the layer above it might fail. That's what defense in depth means, and it's the only way to earn the trust of teams that take security seriously.
