Revolut Swaps Claude Code for Chinese GLM, Cuts Coding Costs 90%
Revolut has moved roughly 2,000 engineers from Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex to a self-hosted instance of GLM 5.3, an open-weight model from Beijing-based Z.ai, cutting AI-assisted coding costs by approximately 90%. David Abitbol, who leads AI operations and infrastructure at Revolut, shared the migration story at the AI Engineer conference in New York, detailing how the fintech tuned the model from a "terrible" out-of-box experience of 14-second latency down to 1.6 seconds. The move underscores a growing trend: well-funded engineering organizations are betting on self-hosted open-weight models over per-seat SaaS subscriptions for AI coding tools.

OpenAI Raises $11B at $1.25T Valuation, Falls Far Short of $30B Target
OpenAI closed the first $11 billion of a funding round that values the company at $1.25 trillion — less than half the $30 billion it originally targeted. The scaled-back raise, confirmed by CFO Sarah Friar, comes as AI stocks tumbled following the midterm elections and investor appetite for big-ticket AI bets shows signs of cooling. For builders and developers relying on OpenAI's platform, the funding gap raises questions about the pace of future model releases and infrastructure investment.
