Meta Acquires AI Coding Startup Conductor
Meta has acquired Conductor, an AI startup specializing in software engineering tools, for an undisclosed amount. This move follows a recent $60 billion acquisition of Cursor by xAI, signaling intense competition among major tech players to dominate the AI-driven coding assistant market. Conductor's technology allows engineers to manage multiple autonomous agents simultaneously. Following the acquisition, Conductor will wind down its current service offerings: Conductor Cloud will transition to read-only mode on November 13 and shut down completely on November 20, while Local Conductor will receive updates until early 2027.
