The online programming platform Replit has just introduced its groundbreaking third-generation AI development assistant, Agent 3, which represents a major leap forward in terms of autonomy. Previously, continuous runtime was capped at a mere 2 minutes, but now, it has been dramatically extended to an impressive 200 minutes. This enhancement empowers Agent 3 to independently handle and complete the entire development process from start to finish.

Constructed on the cutting-edge 'Dynamic Intelligence' technology, Agent 3 boasts an autonomy level that is ten times greater than that of its predecessor. It comes equipped with an integrated browser verification system and automated testing capabilities. These features not only triple the testing speed but also slash development costs by roughly a factor of ten.

This versatile tool facilitates the creation of custom agents tailored to specific needs. It seamlessly integrates with mainstream collaboration platforms and is compatible with a wide array of development frameworks. In conjunction with the launch of Agent 3, Replit also made an exciting announcement: the successful completion of a $250 million Series C funding round. This has propelled the company's valuation to an impressive $3 billion, accompanied by notable annual revenue growth.

At present, several well-known enterprises have already adopted Agent 3, signaling a paradigm shift in the role of AI development tools. These tools are evolving into collaborative partners, poised to significantly lower the barriers to development. The Replit platform, which boasts a global user base exceeding 40 million, is committed to continuing its investment in AI R&D, ensuring that it stays at the forefront of innovation.
