Latent Space podoncast interviews Warp CEO Zach Lloyd on the 2026 state of the art in "software factories." Warp's open source cloud factory approach led to multiple top AI Engineer talks and a keynote invite at AIE CODE.
Headline numbers: tuning model selection and cutting redundant subagents lowered cost per PR from $80 to $15–20 and raised throughput 40% over the prior month, while keeping quality.
Topics covered: defining the factory in code, the full flow from a Slack request to a PR, measuring cost/throughput/quality, agents improving the factory itself, and benchmarking your own tasks. The linked AIE CODE 2026 summit runs Nov 10–12 in San Francisco; invite-only, 800 attendees last year, $1,499 tickets.
