Hypercubic 融资 $5.3M,利用 AI 代理映射并重写传统 COBOL 应用程序

一家名为 Hypercubic Inc. 的人工智能初创公司在今天筹集了 5.3 million 美元的种子轮融资后,正致力于解决使以 COBOL 编程语言编写的遗留应用程序现代化的难题。

本轮融资由 CIV 领投,Y Combinator、Afore Capital、Pioneer Fund、Multimodal Investors 以及包括 Opendoor 首席执行官 Kaz Nejatian 和前 Amazon Marketplace 工程师兼 Walmart Labs 联合创始人 Venky Harinarayan 在内的天使投资人参投。

Hypercubic 是前 Apple Inc. 工程师 Sai Gurrapu 和 Aayush Narik 的构想。他们想到了利用 AI 智能体来执行阅读、记录并重写已有数十年历史的 COBOL 代码库的繁重工作,这正是让世界上许多大型金融机构和工业公司一直感到头疼的难题。

COBOL 是 Common Business-Oriented Language 的缩写,是当今世界上最古老且广泛使用的编程语言之一。它于 1959 年首次编写,专门设计用于处理商业和金融数据。尽管年代久远,它依然非常受欢迎,据估计有超过 200 billion 行 COBOL 代码支撑着全球 95% 以上的刷卡交易和自动取款机。

虽然它仍在运行,但问题在于能理解它的程序员寥寥无几。第一代 COBOL 开发人员几十年前就已经退休了,而现在他们的继任者也正逐渐步入退休年龄。据估计,90% 的现任 COBOL 工程师预计将在未来 5 至 10 年内退休,这将给任何仍拥有基于该语言的关键系统的企业带来巨大问题。

解决方案是将这些应用程序现代化,并用年轻工程师能够理解的现代语言(如 Java)重新编写。但这样做是一项艰巨且风险极高的任务。在单体 COBOL 程序中,哪怕是一个没有文档记录的细微改动,都可能导致银行账本或政府社会保障支付系统等关键服务崩溃,而且可能需要数天时间才能识别并修复问题。

COBOL 经常被比作石棉。正如这种有毒材料极难从旧建筑中清除一样,COBOL 深深地嵌入在庞大的、垂直整合的大型机堆栈中,替换它涉及从数据架构到存储和事务处理的所有内容的重新设计。手动重写 COBOL 是一项耗时数年的工程,由于成本高昂且风险巨大,大多数机构一直在推迟这项工作。

Hypercubic 希望说服这些公司,其自主 AI 智能体最终可以通过自动化整个 COBOL 现代化进程来解决他们的问题。这些智能体由经过大量 COBOL 代码训练的模型驱动,并且它们还知道如何用现代编程语言重写其所有特定功能。

当它们开始处理一个需要现代化的新 COBOL 应用程序时,首先会映射整个代码库。在执行此操作的同时,它们会恢复埋在代码中的所有业务逻辑,然后利用这些信息自动生成该代码的文档,而这些文档以前从未编写过。
