8090 CEO Highlights Shift from Time-and-Materials Outsourcing to AI-Driven Development
8090 CEO Chamath Palihapitiya stated that the traditional time-and-materials outsourcing model is losing relevance as enterprises shift technology budgets toward AI-driven software development they can directly control. He cited Infosys' recent revenue forecast cut as evidence of this trend. Palihapitiya noted that AI-led development enables faster, more precise modernization of legacy systems, especially for regulated enterprises. Additionally, 8090 recently raised $135 million in Series A funding to support its AI-native software initiatives.
