01 · A NOTE FROM OUR CEO
Your plan isn't the problem. Your pace is.
In 2017 I had one idea: automation at scale. Nine years, 200+ clients and over a million AI conversations later, the lesson I keep relearning is simple. The winners don't have better plans. They have faster ones.
The companies we work with go from idea to product-market fit in 6 months, not 26, and see first value from automation in 30 days. So every month, the 10X Agenda gives each seat on your leadership team one idea, one real number, a few questions to ask on Monday and the technology behind it. If a section isn't for you, forward it to the colleague it's for.
Marcin KierdelewiczCEO, BIAMI
02 · THE NUMBER OF THE MONTH
9 frontier AI models released in September. All nine were live in Matrix within hours.
Most companies wait 6 to 18 months to put a new model to work, held up by vendor roadmaps, security reviews and migrations.
03 · AI RADAR · MODELS, PRICING, WHAT IT MEANS
Nine frontier models shipped in September. Here's what each one means for your leadership team.
- SEP 1Claude Fable 5.1Anthropic's top-tier model, live in Matrix in under 12 hours.
- SEP 2Gemini 3.8 FlashFast, low-cost reasoning for high-volume work.
- SEP 5GPT-6 AstraOpenAI's new flagship, live in Matrix within hours.
- SEP 21Grok 4.7Built for multi-hour knowledge and engineering work, at about half the price of comparable models.
- SEP 22Claude Opus 5.5For the hardest judgment calls, like catching subtle flaws in financial models. 20% cheaper and 30% faster than Opus 5.
- SEP 22Sol 6OpenAI's flagship for deep, multi-step analysis and system architecture.
- SEP 22Luna 6The agent workhorse: 50% cheaper than Luna 5.6, now the default engine for every Matrix agent.
- SEP 28Claude Sonnet 5.5The everyday workhorse: 70.6% on Terminal Bench 4.0, a coding-agent benchmark, up from 10.3% one generation ago.
- SEP 29GPT-6.1 SolClose to OpenAI's flagship for agent work, at up to 80% lower cost per task.
In Matrix, switching to any of these was a menu choice, not an IT project. Your AI tools shouldn't go out of date before your quarterly plan does.
LLM pricing update · $ per 1M tokens · cheapest first
| Model | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Luna 6 · 50% cheaper than Luna 5.6 | $0.10 | $0.50 |

Token costs across top LLMs are down 80–90% in eighteen months. Matrix shows which model ran each task, the tokens used and what it actually cost. A million tokens is roughly 750,000 words. Launch list prices; check providers before budgeting.
−90%Matrix Brain price cut. From $1,000 to $100 per million records connected. Your first Brain is free up to 10,000 records.
New in Matrix Superintelligence Platform
New frontier models added the day they launched. Agents now run web tasks 24/7 in hosted cloud browsers, so supplier portals and reconciliations keep going after you close the laptop. Every agent now runs on Luna 6 by default, at half the cost of Luna 5.6.

04 · 10X STRATEGY For CEO · Founder · Board
Put the whole company on one monthly heartbeat
Quarterly reviews give you four chances a year to correct course. One vision, one plan and one set of numbers across Value, Operations and Growth, reviewed every month, gives you twelve. And when a number turns red, the board should know why within seconds, not after waiting three days for an analyst.

Ask Matrix on Monday
- “How are we doing against plan, and why?”
- “What caused the drop in expansion revenue this quarter?”
- “Which initiatives are behind plan, and who owns them?”

Stop hiring your way out of a late roadmap
When the roadmap slips, the reflex is headcount. Outra did the opposite: a small managed team working with AI agents rebuilt how household-level data across 30M+ UK homes reaches customers, turning an analyst-run service into a self-serve platform.

Automate one service. Then let it compound.
A global telecom didn't start with a transformation programme. It started with Backup as a Service, then Smart City provisioning. Each automation made the next one cheaper. Five years later, almost a hundred services run automated and integrated across its network.

Your content engine should run while you run the company
Most leadership teams know they should publish more, and most don't, because a good newsletter eats the week. The fix isn't a bigger team. Write it once and let the system do the rest: research, drafting in your voice and publishing to every channel, with a person approving each piece before it goes out. This issue was made that way.

Ask Matrix on Monday
- “Which campaigns, deals and partners drive our revenue?”
- “Which deals over $20k are stalled past 14 days, and why?”
- “Which channels convert best for our top accounts?”
The tech behind it
- NewsletterJet →Reads 30+ sources, drafts in your voice, publishes to 30+ channels.
- ContentMorph →Turns one piece of writing into posts, carousels and videos for 125+ channels. New: cinematic, brand and founder video styles.
- Ammpli →SEO content built on the keywords you already rank for.
- Intelligent Business Development →AI-run outreach across channels to find new prospects and nurture existing leads.
