OpenAI Debuts Symphony to Orchestrate Coding Agents at Scale

OpenAI has unveiled Symphony, an open-source specification that shifts how software development teams deploy AI in workflows, moving from interactive coding assistance toward continuous orchestration of autonomous agents. Symphony reframes project management tools as operational hubs for AI-driven coding. Rather than prompting an assistant for individual tasks, developers assign work through issue trackers, allowing agents […]

Agentic CI/CD is Not Automation: Why the Distinction Will Define DevOps in 2026

There is a dangerous conflation happening across our industry right now. Teams are plugging LLM-powered agents into their deployment pipelines, calling it “agentic CI/CD,” and treating it as the next logical step after shell scripts and Terraform modules. It is not. Automation executes predefined instructions. An agent reasons about context, makes decisions, and takes actions […]
