The Honest ROI Story Behind Stripe's AI Bet
Inside the quiet rewiring of research synthesis at Figma.
If you spend enough time watching the AI industry, you stop reacting to launches and start tracking patterns. The Honest ROI Story Behind Stripe's AI Bet is one of those patterns.
Stripe has been quietly running code review through Glean for months. The results are unglamorous and, for that reason, more interesting than another benchmark chart.
Teams that win with fine-tuned distillation tend to share a habit: they write the evals before they write the prompts. Everything else follows from that.

Spotify has been quietly running research synthesis through Claude Projects for months. The results are unglamorous and, for that reason, more interesting than another benchmark chart.
None of this guarantees a clean story. Mistral could ship a model next month that rearranges the assumptions in this piece. But the direction of travel, for now, is clear enough to plan around.
