Huge leaps forward for the python ecosystem. As Python becomes the language of AI, Astral (@charliermarsh) is fast becoming its canonical toolchain. h/t @caseyaylward @Accel for backing this incredibly important company!!
Today, we're shipping a series of features that move uv beyond a pip alternative, and into an end-to-end solution for managing Python projects, command-line tools, single-file scripts, and even Python itself. A single, unified tool. Like Cargo, for Python. It's very fast.

AI is the most significant consumer of data we may ever see and CData is the humble standard for how data is moving into and among the business clouds. Incredibly sticky, profitable business intersecting a massive inflection point.
CData, which helps orgs use data across apps and to build AI models, snaps up $350M

Data is the raw material for an AI enabled world — every model, large or small, will need @scale_AI. Big ups to my partner @daniel_levine who saw this before anyone, leading the Seed, A, participating in every round since, and now leading this latest round. When there’s a reference architecture for AI, Scale will be part of it. Congrats! @Accel
Working with a founder like @alexandr_wang is a rare privilege. We’re honored that Alex has trusted the Accel team with some of @scale_AI's most important moments & we’re thrilled to continue our partnership on this next phase of growth. cc @daniel_levine
