• Leveraging Best-in-Class AI Technology Platforms GitHub Copilot and Claude AI by Anthropic, Thumzup is Accelerating Development of New Features

• Thumzup Expects a Significant Portion of the Code for its Platform to be Generated by AI

• The Company Expects Growth and Efficiency Metrics on All Fronts

LOS ANGELES, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Thumzup Media Corporation (“Thumzup” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TZUP), an emerging leader in social media branding and programmatic marketing solutions, has integrated advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools into its software development process. By leveraging GitHub Copilot and Claude AI by Anthropic, Thumzup’s development team is accelerating the creation and deployment of new features for the Thumzup app, enhancing its ability to empower users to earn rewards for engaging with brands they love.

GitHub Copilot, an AI-powered code assistant, enables Thumzup’s software developers to write code more efficiently, reduce debugging time, and bring innovative features to market faster than ever before. This strategic adoption of AI technology highlights Thumzup’s commitment to moving to the forefront of the tech industry while delivering a rewarding experience to its growing community of users.

“AI is already accelerating our development – and we’ve already identified several AI tools that should significantly increase our growth,” said Robert Steele, CEO of Thumzup Media Corporation. “By using tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude AI by Anthropic, our team can focus on creativity and innovation, ensuring that the Thumzup app continues to evolve with cutting-edge features that meet the needs of our users and brand partners. This move not only accelerates our time to market but will also reduce the development costs of writing code, reinforcing our mission to revolutionize how people connect with businesses through social media.” 

A recent CNBC article highlights a trend among tech startups experiencing rapid growth at lower costs by utilizing AI to write code. Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan noted that about 25% of current YC startups have AI writing roughly 95% of their code. This significantly reduces the need for large engineering teams, allowing startups to generate substantial revenue, up to $10 million, with fewer than 10 employees. Tan emphasized that AI enables startups to use capital more efficiently and reflects Silicon Valley’s broader shift toward profitability over growth-at-all-costs. Startups leveraging AI are achieving unprecedented weekly growth rates of around 10%, signaling a major shift in early-stage venture dynamics.

Amid SoftBank acquisition, there are dark clouds on the horizon for Ampere’s long history in the clouds

AUSTIN, Texas, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Liftr Insights, a pioneer in market intelligence driven by unique data, released information about Ampere showing the semiconductors from Ampere Computing losing ground in the cloud amid the recent announcement that SoftBank Group will be acquiring the company for $6.5 billion.

The article shows a total market share decrease by Ampere after years of increases and with representation across all the major cloud providers except AWS. Specifically, Ampere dropped from over 20% of the Arm market in the cloud to 18.2% after the recent introduction of Azure Cobalt and Google Axion. AWS’s Arm-based Graviton instances also continue to expand.

Looking at the data, market intelligence analysts can see an average of 30% savings by using Ampere in lieu of AMD or Intel semiconductors, though they can find more detailed information, e.g., by region or cloud provider, by working with Liftr Insights directly.

But, the challenge coming from AWS, Microsoft, and Google with their own Arm-based instances is putting increased pressure on Ampere. As stated in the article, “Azure currently offers better performance and is 8.8% cheaper than Ampere.”

The information in this Ampere article provides a solid beginning for market intelligence analysts forecasting, planning, or considering the pros and cons of choosing instances by Ampere Computing for their enterprise.

For over half a decade, Liftr has been providing data to customers ranging from Financial Services firms making investment decisions to semiconductor vendors.

The article can be found at https://liftrinsights.com/series/arm-rising/ampere-a-david-vs-goliath-story-in-the-cloud. Liftr Insights also recently started a series of articles focused on AI models, while this current series is focused on Arm.
