Agent loops burn ~50x what chat does. Uber blew its annual AI coding budget by April. Cursor and Claude Code both face an explosion of costs. FinOps teams tracking AI spend went from 31% to 98% in a year. Here's the part nobody prices in: a huge share of that burn is your agent re-reading things it already knew. Every new session, the same repo context, the same conventions, re-fed through the window, costing you money again. Therefore Sibyl Labs built the memory plugin around one idea: pay to learn something once, then retrieve it cheaply as much as you want. File-based persistent memory, local-first, no vector DB. Knowledge gets written as a one-time cost; recall is targeted search, not context flooding. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any MCP runtime. No "cut your bill 70%". Anyone quoting you a percentage right now is guessing. The claim: stop paying to re-read what your agent already figured out. #2# on LongMemEval Oracle (95.6%). Try it:

Some more detail on the ROIC Intelligence App I built yesterday and mentioned on today's earnings call. I took the PDF that Brian Nowak at Morgan Stanley put together for Hyperscale ROIC this week and used Copilot code (coming in our new superapp) with a single prompt + skill (/drill-me) to create the plan, then used autopilot in auto to create the full app (with history, lookups, scenarios, what-ifs, etc). And /rubber-duck to test. And the best part is that all the artifacts are in my enterprise environment. My app is in Copilot, my code is in GitHub Enterprise; all my data pipelines/lake/semantic models are in Fabric. And everything is under Agent 365 IT/Sec/FinOps control! So this is not about Tokenmaxxing or vibe coding. Every step of the way the rails are engineered to create value, making everything a long-term reusable asset, with governance/security, and cost controls. This is the full system to drive business value. Disclosures: This is all pulled from public sources, and for illustrative purposes only...not financial advice! :) Here is the app and architecture...

AI is priced by consumption. Every prompt and model call compounds the bill. This is the problem we are solving with AI Spend and Consumption Management in 1Password SaaS Manager. As our CFO Greg Henry puts it, “Organizations need better data and alerts to understand where model usage is creating value to keep budgets well managed as AI adoption grows.” Read more to get ahead of AI spend before procurement gets the call: #AI# #SaaSManagement# #FinOps# #ITLeadership# #tokenmaxxing# #AIROI# #AIGovernance# #AgenticWorkflows#

Today we’re Introducing AI Spend and Consumption Management in 1Password SaaS Manager. ✅ One normalized view of AI token consumption across Anthropic, Cursor, and OpenAI ✅ Budget risk with spend thresholds and automated alerts ✅ Team, user, vendor, and model cost visibility ✅ Optimized AI investments within their broader software portfolio to reduce unnecessary spend Learn more: #AISpend# #SaaSManagement# #FinOps# #AIGovernance# #1Password# #AI# #tokenmaxxing#

# Antigravity Features and Practical Usage 🚀 A "USB-C port for AI" that safely connects your agent to your databases and internal tools—that is Antigravity's MCP. 📌 Title and Feature URL Title: MCP URL: 📝 Overview Antigravity supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard that lets the editor securely connect to your local tools, databases, and external services. MCP acts as a "USB-C port for AI," standardizing how AI agents and large language models plug into different data sources. 🔧 How It Works MCP works as a standardized plug-in mechanism: - MCP is an open standard that lets AI agents securely connect to external tools and data sources. - Antigravity includes an MCP Store where you can search for and install the service you need. - Connection details (such as a Project ID) are entered through a simple form, and credentials—passwords or IAM credentials—are stored securely. - For example, the BigQuery remote MCP server enables running queries, getting metadata, and listing resources. - BigQuery's MCP uses OAuth 2.0 with IAM for authentication and authorization, supporting Google Cloud identities. 🛠 Practical Usage - Search the MCP Store for the service you need, such as "BigQuery," and click Install to begin setup. - Enter connection details like your Project ID in the form and register credentials securely. - Once connected, ask in natural language to inspect a table's schema, then have the agent generate a script from the result. - Mix and match local-process and remote-host MCP configurations as needed. 🎯 Use Cases - Install BigQuery from the MCP Store, inspect a billing table's schema, and generate a FinOps script. - Connect to an internal database and build queries from natural-language questions. - Have the agent understand your data platform's structure via metadata and resource listings. - Build automation workflows that span local tools and external services. ⚠️ Caveats - MCP grants the agent access to external data, so least-privilege IAM scoping is a prerequisite. - Credentials are stored securely from the form, but review the permission scope of each service you connect carefully. - Service-specific auth (OAuth 2.0 / IAM) and billing terms, as with BigQuery, should be confirmed before adoption. #Antigravity# #MCP#

Are you looking to optimize cloud operations while reducing infrastructure costs? Join us at the upcoming Tencent Cloud Workshop in Tokyo, where we will explore practical approaches to cloud migration, operational optimization, and intelligent cloud management. A key highlight of the session will be a customer story from GREE, sharing insights from its company-wide migration to Tencent Cloud, including the tangible benefits of the migration and the technology capabilities that supported the journey. We will also introduce how Tencent Cloud TSA and TCOP can help organizations: - Gain greater visibility across cloud assets - Automate and simplify day-to-day cloud operations - Improve troubleshooting and incident response - Manage multi-cloud environments more efficiently - Optimize infrastructure costs and operational efficiency Whether you are planning a cloud migration or looking to improve the efficiency of an existing cloud environment, this workshop will offer practical insights and real-world perspectives. 📅 August 28, 2026 | 14:30–18:40 📍 MSC Onarimon Building, 12F Community Hub, Tokyo Scan the QR code in the event poster to register.
