Today on the AI Daily Brief, a new definition of AGI that suggests that GPT-5 is 58% of the way there. Before that in the headlines, Claude Code comes to the web. The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI.
All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in. First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, Super Intelligent, KPMG, and Robots and Pencils. To get an ad-free version of the show, go to patreon.com slash AI Daily Brief, or you can sign up on Apple Podcasts. One note about Apple Podcasts, because this has been coming up a bit. Apple Podcasts is set up on a very different system to Patreon. With Patreon, I upload a distinct file. I can schedule it the same way as I can with my normal episodes. And so it's always set to come out at the same time as the main ad version. With Apple Podcasts, it's a little bit different. I have to wait for the episode to post to Apple Podcasts, meaning that there's a short delay after I publish in general, and then I have to go in and manually replace the file.
What this means is that if for any reason I can't immediately replace that file, you will still see the normal ad version on your feed. It only gets replaced when I add that manual file. This is normally fine. It just means about 15 minutes of waiting around after I press publish on the normal episode, but that lag creates more possibilities for problems. For example, yesterday, Apple's podcast connect system was down for about 12 hours, which meant that pretty much overnight, even subscribers on Apple still saw only the ad version. I promise you that I will always try to get the ad-free version up on Apple as fast as I can, but sometimes it's going to be out of my control. I apologize. I really wish it was a better system, but that is just the way that it is.
Lastly, of course, for any information about the show, sponsorship, speaking, job opportunities, go to ai-dailybrief.ai. And with that all out of the way, let's dive in. Welcome back to the AI Daily Brief Headlines Edition, all the daily AI news you need in around five minutes. First up today, Anthropic is making Claude code available through a web app and within the Claude iOS app. Previously, the feature was only available through terminals and IDEs, and the big unlock is being able to spin up background agents. With Cloud Code running in the cloud, you can now run multiple tasks in parallel across different repositories from a single interface and ship faster with automatic PR creation and clear change summaries.
This asynchronous workflow is quickly becoming a powerful tool for AI-enhanced coders. Cloud Code product manager Kat Wu said, As we look forward, one of our key focuses is making sure the command-line interface product is the most intelligent and customizable way for you to use coding agents. But we're continuing to put Cloud Code everywhere, helping it meet developers where they are. Web and mobile is a big step in this direction. Certainly there is a lot of excitement about this. Josh JDJ Kelly on Twitter wrote, I can work with Claude Code while out on a walk. Speaking of agentic coding, Replit is projecting massive growth to reach a billion dollars in revenue by the end of next year. Speaking with Business Insider, CEO Amjad Massad said that the AI coding startup has reached 240 million in ARR and expects that to quadruple next year.
The company's growth this year has been absolutely skyrocketing, gaining more than 10x from their 16 million in ARR at the end of 2024. The company now has over 150,000 paying customers and over 40 million free users. And while at this stage, all those free users mean that the consumer segment is unprofitable, Massad boasted that enterprise margins are close to 80%. This follows the same profit model that other AI companies are currently pursuing. The consumer segment is a loss leader due to large volumes of free users, but building familiarity with consumers means they demand access to the same tools at work.
