This article delves into AI's peculiar writing habits, such as overusing em-dashes and odd vocabulary like 'load-bearing', and its tendency to attribute agency to inanimate objects. Examples include describing code actions as 'rides the index' or hunks as 'blends'. The author speculates this might stem from AI training favoring active voice, possibly even reflecting an ontological egalitarianism.

GitHub Copilot now bills usage at listed API rates. This article compares direct model access with the coding workflow, policy, and harness work around Copilot to help developers choose based on their needs.

Google Quantum AI integrates reinforcement learning with quantum error correction to create a quantum computer that continuously adapts to drift and remains stable during long computations.

According to Nikkei Asia, five U.S. tech giants have an estimated $1.65 trillion in hidden debt related to AI infrastructure, recorded in quarterly financial statements rather than balance sheets. This accepted accounting practice may catch investors off guard when the figures come to light.

AI Maestro orchestrates AI coding agents to work on a task board, turning software delivery into a coordinated multi-agent pipeline rather than a single chat session.

Software delivery lifecycle company Harness launched its AI Agent Development Lifecycle (DLC) service to apply the same governance, testing, and security used for application code to AI agents. The challenge is agents' non-deterministic nature; Harness focuses on making the pipeline predictable rather than the agent itself. It introduces five new capabilities: AI Evals, Agent deployments, AI configs, AI asset catalog, and AgentTrace, along with open-sourcing foundational components. The goal is to enable safe, governed agentic deployments.

A free, open-source Chrome extension that displays your Claude plan usage limits (5-hour limit, weekly limit, extra credits), a live token counter for the context window, and a prompt-cache countdown directly on claude.ai. No account, no analytics, no external servers: it reads the same usage data the Claude settings page uses, entirely inside your browser.

The article argues that AI coding tools can hinder the development of expertise, especially for novice developers. It cites studies showing that reliance on AI assistants leads to worse learning outcomes and creates an 'illusion of competence'. True expertise requires friction and problem-solving. It suggests using AI as a Socratic partner rather than an answer generator.

Stele is a shared memory ledger for AI coding agents that records decisions, tasks, and lessons. It reads context before every action and writes back knowledge, ensuring continuity across tools and sessions. The system automatically maintains the graph, flags stale entries, and allows task coordination without duplication. Invite-only beta.

Imbue open-sources Catalyst, an evolution-inspired AI research tool that improves nanochat LLM performance 3x further than standard AutoResearch. The post explains why linear agents get stuck and how evolving interpretation strands helps escape dead ends.

OpenAI launches Presence, deploying AI agents already used on its own support line to enterprise phone and chat channels. The product emphasizes trust and reliability, with carefully defined permissions and escalation paths, and is supported by OpenAI's engineers for customization and integration. Presence is currently limited to eligible enterprise customers, with early design partners including BBVA, SoftBank, and IAG.

Perplexity's Mac app offers its own agentic AI, Personal Computer, which can handle multi-step tasks on your computer from start to finish. See why the results impressed me.

Known for his clear and elegant writing style, Bertsekas shaped fields from control and optimization to large-scale computation and artificial intelligence.

LangChain's Eval Engineering Skill inspects your agent's repo and traces, proposes evals through user interviews, and outputs runnable Harbor tasks.

Artificial intelligence systems won’t become conscious for the same reason they won’t become pregnant, says Dr John Pickering.

Samsung has given us our first chance to check out its upcoming smart glasses in person, revealing two new designs and first specs including a 9-hour battery life. Developed with Google, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker, the glasses are due this fall. Powered by Snapdragon AR1, they support Gemini or Bixby, but privacy remains a concern.

CoreBase has a new look. It offers a governed infrastructure layer for building and deploying AI agents with built-in connectors, permissions, audit trails, and cost controls, enabling trusted AI agents for your product.

Natural has raised $30M in Series A funding led by Forerunner Ventures to build payment infrastructure for AI agents, aiming to compete with Stripe. The company has launched six products including FDIC-insured wallets and vaults, with plans to ship 13 products in its first year. Despite low current transaction volumes, the agentic payments market is forecast to grow to $93 billion by 2032.

Codify is an open-source tool that lets you manage and automate developer environments using declarative configs and an AI assistant. It supports cross-platform, team collaboration, and security auditing.

Explain what you know to AI and discover what you don't.

The Narwal Flow 2 promises to be one of the best robot vacuum cleaners for obstacle avoidance and mopping - and it is.

Samsung's summer Unpacked event unveiled new foldables, a smartwatch, and smart glasses with deep Gemini AI integration, including task automation, preinstalled Gemini Notebook, and glasses-watch synergy.

This article argues against overengineering agent harnesses, as most agents are simpler than the coding and personal agents dominating the conversation. It introduces two dimensions—action complexity and context complexity—to determine the necessary harness, and describes the 'Kirby effect' where model improvements render harness features obsolete. Examples from coding agents, deep research, support agents, and enterprise agents illustrate the range of harness requirements.

monday.com runs AI agents at scale on Amazon Bedrock, with 90% of engineers using AI coding tools monthly and PR throughput up by more than half. This post shares the architecture, retrofits, and confidence-scored merge process toward full autonomy.

The alliance strengthens Mistral’s position as the leading European AI vendor, while extending Microsoft’s presence in Europe.

Microagi will use Google Cloud’s AI infrastructure and Nvidia Blackwell systems to train task-specific embodied AI models.

Author Beej Jorgensen explores the psychological difference between creating something by hand versus using AI. He shares his background, presents AI-generated examples (fiction, art, carpentry, code), and admits he cannot claim AI-generated work as his own. He argues that while prompt engineering requires skill, it is essentially asking someone else to make something, and the real fulfillment comes from the act of making itself.

Here's what people are getting wrong about the so-called SaaS apocalypse.

Mission control for Codex CLI on a Logitech MX keypad.

Srenix is an open-source Kubernetes self-healing tool packaged as a ~30MB Go binary. It automatically detects, diagnoses, and fixes cluster issues without relying on LLMs, using deterministic logic. It features 16 K8s probes, 14 read-only analyzers, 30 cloud probes (AWS/GCP/Azure), and 5 policy-bounded fixers that re-verify after execution. Supports offline snapshot mode and in-cluster live mode, GitOps-aware, and integrates with Slack, Alertmanager, and more. Designed to reduce on-call toil.
