I've spent most of my career in networking and infrastructure, and I joined Tailscale six months ago for a simple reason: this company takes things that are genuinely hard and makes them feel like magic. Customers tell us some version of “Wait, that's it?” every day.

Starting on Tuesday next week, we're rolling out a set of updates that reflect how quickly the world around secure connectivity is changing. Like our Fall Update last year, this is a focused collection of features and improvements that makes Tailscale easier, more secure, and more capable across a wide range of real-world setups. It's a week of shipping, showing, and connecting the dots, capped with a look at what it all adds up to.

Over the past year, large language models (LLMs) have gone from research novelties to business-critical tools. But integrating these models into production workflows, especially when it comes to using them with APIs and internal systems, can still be remarkably difficult. Most developers are still hand-wiring brittle function calls, stitching together glue code or relying on experimental plugins.
