What’s the differentiator when software becomes commoditized?
What are any of us doing?
We need to approach engineering with a new lens.
Our CTO @jamesacowling has some thoughts.
You Don't Need Design. You Need Good Decisions and Good Engineering.
Listen to @johnmaeda talk on design factors in the Age of AI 👇 Full video linked below.
- `ctx.meta.getSnapshotTs()` is now public API
- Clearer errors when you pass a function where a Convex value is expected
- The MCP server no longer stalls on overlapping tool calls
You have heard of the @convex LLM Leaderboard but did you know we also have a Decision Leaderboard?
Interesting datapoint is @perplexity_ai's Decider currently tops the leaderboard and costs less than half the price of Jev if you are willing to sacrifice a little response time!
@Google's Argon looks to be a mighty impressive model. Third place on the @convex "No Guidelines" leaderboard.
First place "With Guidelines" and second place "No Guidelines + Web".
All for a very reasonable price!
We just published a security advisory that affects the stream and paginator helpers from convex-helpers.
We recommend that all affected users update to convex-helpers@0.1.127 (or newer) to get the fix. We also applied a best-effort mitigation to Convex cloud deployments.
Remember the Convex AI Gateway? 👀
`@convex-dev/ai-sdk-provider 0.3.0` just shipped with Text-to-speech and transcription support and zero data retention.
Your apps can now perform so many things with the comfort of your backend, without API keys👇
Wake up agents, there's a new @e2b@convex sandbox component.
A tableless Convex component that provides a V8-compatible E2B client for managing persistent cloud sandboxes inside Convex actions.
Details:

.@theo, @zeeg, @jgreze, and Convex all agree that agents can help you ship code faster but they're not talented, or curious.

Three opinionated founders, one equally opinionated moderator, and somehow, no chairs were harmed. Full panel in the thread ⬇️
