Datadog veterans launch AI coding startup Niteshift on a bet against Big AI lock-in
Niteshift, an AI coding startup founded by former Datadog engineers, has secured $7 million in seed funding led by Greylock. The company aims to provide infrastructure that allows businesses to use AI coding agents without being locked into specific model providers like OpenAI or Anthropic. Niteshift's platform will route requests between various coding models, including open-source options, offering a vendor-neutral approach to AI-generated code development. AI
