AI assistant startup Instinct has completed a $1 billion Series C funding round, with investors including Sequoia Capital, Benchmark Capital and Coatue, valuing the company at $10 billion. TechCrunch AI reported on September 28, 2026 that this comes just one month after its previous funding round at a $2.5 billion valuation, and that the company's invite-only service only launched in August 2026. The report said that Instinct completes tasks for users through its own phone numbers and computers, and recently launched a concierge feature that can make calls on users' behalf, as well as a trusted person network that lets different users' agents coordinate plans with each other; it has not yet launched a mobile app, nor disclosed user data, and faces competition from Meta's AI assistant Muse. Huxiu reported on October 3 that founder Noah Shinn is 23 years old, dropped out of undergraduate studies, published the Agent paper Reflexion as first author at NeurIPS, and later joined Sierra as a research scientist; the report also said the company has only 14 full-time employees, users spend an average of more than $1,300 per month through Instinct, but its excessive requests for permissions have sparked privacy controversy.

Amazon has released a guidance document for software engineers that explicitly opposes using metrics such as Token consumption and AI tool adoption rates as performance goals, arguing that this would drive up costs and increase system complexity. The document was disclosed by Vice President Terk Terkowitz and introduces the concept of the "Renaissance developer," requiring technical leaders to personally use AI in production work and explain the scenarios in which it is effective and ineffective. Previously, Microsoft Executive Vice President Jay Parikh also asked his team in August to use AI rationally and set the lower-cost GPT-5.6 as the internal default model.

Cursor discovered a maliciously tampered version of Anthropic.claude-code 2.1.313 in the VS Code extension marketplace. This version was not developed by Anthropic and affects at most 5,000 users. The malicious code collects host and user information, attempts to write the attacker's SSH public key and establish a reverse SSH tunnel, but due to permission restrictions this step fails on most macOS and Windows hosts. Cursor has removed the version, rebuilt the marketplace and shut down the attacker's server, and also provided a command to detect the svc-telemetry public key along with cleanup scripts for macOS and Windows.
