In this conversation, Co-founder and CEO Matan Grinberg sits down with Anthropic's Kai Gill to talk about his journey founding Factory, how Claude's frontier models handle long-horizon tasks across large codebases so teams can trust agent plans with less oversight, and what it will take to build a fully autonomous "dark factory" for software.
