Cognition CEO Scott Wu publicly denies espionage allegations from Factory's CEO

dejavucoder · x · 2026-10-01

Responding to accusations from Factory's CEO Matan, Cognition CEO Scott Wu publicly denied every claim: Cognition never sought Factory's information, advisor Chris (who advises at least 10 companies) never shared anything about Matan or Factory, the company never asked anyone to spy on competitors, and Chris had already told Matan on Monday he was resigning as an advisor. Wu framed the fight as both sides wanting Chris for his unmatched reputation. The back-and-forth timeline has become fresh drama in the AI coding scene.
