Block just cut 4,000 people while posting its best quarter in company history. The stock jumped 23%. Block built an open source AI agent called Goose (powered by Anthropic's MCP) and deployed it across the entire company.
Bradley Axen, Creator of goose, joined Open Source Security to talk about: Why Block donated goose to the Agentic AI Foundation, AI-generated PRs and open source quality, what comes after chat-based agents.
