Beyond Market Intelligence keeps replication in one place: 3 stories so far. The section currently leads with “AI coding rounds are rewriting the rules of the data science interview”, “Restate secures $20M to power the next era of AI-driven infrastructure”, and “An AI teammate from DeepMind alumni now replicates scientific research”. The syntax quiz is dead. Restate just secured $20 million to build the kind of infrastructure that makes AI workflows actually reliable. Acme AI is the next-generation, AI-powered spreadsheet platform built to replace Excel and redefine how analysts, data scientists, and enterprise teams work… The list below is every replication story on Beyond Market Intelligence, newest first.
AI coding rounds are rewriting the rules of the data science interview
The syntax quiz is dead. In Spring 2026, AI-assisted coding rounds at Meta, Shopify, and Adobe test how you solve problems, not what you memorized. These sessions feel like mini case studies where you actually build, not just describe. That shift rewards clear thinking over recall, and it changes how you should prepare. Practice with AI at your side, not against it. For a deeper look at how tools like DuckDB are reshaping data workflows, explore our related coverage.
Restate secures $20M to power the next era of AI-driven infrastructure
Restate just secured $20 million to build the kind of infrastructure that makes AI workflows actually reliable. Instead of layering its durable execution engine on top of an off-the-shelf database, the company built its own storage, replication, and redundancy layers from scratch. That architectural choice makes Restate exceptionally fast and lightweight, a pragmatic bet on performance over shortcuts. It's the sort of foundational thinking that deserves attention.
An AI teammate from DeepMind alumni now replicates scientific research
Inherent, a British AI lab founded by DeepMind alumni, just released Faraday, an agent that outperformed Anthropic and OpenAI at replicating scientific research. That is a meaningful step toward practical discovery, not just another benchmark. It suggests AI can move beyond answering questions toward reproducing the messy work of science itself. If you are curious about the human side of these systems, our piece on talking to an AI clone offers a useful counterpoint. For now, Faraday feels like progress worth watching.
