1. Meta Acquires Conductor, Whose App Runs Teams of Coding Agents in Parallel Workspaces
Meta has acquired Conductor, a startup whose app lets developers run several coding agents at once in separate, compartmentalized workspaces in the cloud, locally or from a phone, using agents from labs such as Anthropic and OpenAI rather than its own models, TechCrunch reported on November 4 after Axios first reported the deal. Founder and CEO Charlie Holtz wrote that the team has “big, crazy plans for the next interface” and will ship “something new” early next year, and on X said he looked forward to working with Meta chief AI officer Alexandr Wang and Nat Friedman, head of product at Meta Superintelligence Labs. Conductor, which Holtz says launched in July 2025, will keep working as before until then except for Conductor Cloud, which TechCrunch says shuts down on November 20, after which user cloud data will be deleted; Conductor has built a tool to move cloud workspaces to local machines. Meta confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch but gave no terms or further details. The deal follows Meta’s launch of its own coding agent, Muse Code, in August and earlier AI acquisitions including the agent platform Moltbook. Source Conductor
2. Meta Raises €9 Billion in Its Debut Euro Bond on a Record €53 Billion of Orders, After a $15 Billion Dollar Sale
Meta sold €9 billion (about $10.1 billion) of euro-denominated bonds on November 4, its first borrowing in euros, after drawing a record €53 billion (about $59.5 billion) of orders, nearly six times the amount raised, Bloomberg reported. The Edge Singapore says the debt was offered in six tranches with maturities from just over four years to more than 38 years, and Bloomberg said Meta was set to pay generous yields to borrow in euros. The euro deal followed a $15 billion dollar bond sale, bringing the total to about $25 billion, the top of the $20 billion to $25 billion range reported on November 3. Bloomberg places the sale within a race among the largest tech companies to finance trillions of dollars of investment. Bloomberg The Edge Singapore Reuters
