Open Source Mod Brings Rate Limits, Costs and CI Status Into View for Claude Code Users
Claude Statuspane gives developers real-time visibility into Claude Code context use, rate limits, costs and CI status, highlighting a growing need for agent observability.
How to Move AI SRE Agents From Demo to Production
An AI agent that works on an engineer’s laptop can feel like a breakthrough. It can read logs, query observability tools, inspect cloud resources and connect a failed deployment to a bad configuration change in minutes. For a single investigation, under close human supervision, that is real progress. It is also the easy part. The […]
IBM Moves Its Bob Coding Agent Inside the Firewall
Plenty of enterprises want AI coding agents. Fewer are willing to send their source code to someone else’s cloud to get them. That tension has slowed adoption at banks, insurers, government agencies and other organizations that build software under strict rules about where code and data can live. IBM is betting a self-hosted option will […]
AWS AI Agent Surfaces Recommendations to Optimize Cloud Computing Environments

env zero Previews Control Plane for Agentic DevOps Workflows
env zero’s EZ Control introduces an agentic DevOps control plane that detects infrastructure drift, applies policy-driven remediation and keeps automated changes attributable, reversible and auditable.
Docker Introduces Open Sandbox Kit Spec for AI Agent Permissions
AI agents are getting good at probing the boundaries developers put around them. Their ability to improvise makes them hard to contain. “You ask for something in a very high-level, vague-at-best way. You walk away, and you come back to a remarkable pile of mostly working software. But you then realize that you gave a […]
Why Plan Review Stopped Working
The control that held your infrastructure together was plan review, meaning a person reading a diff and deciding whether to approve it. Not the policy document and not the pipeline configuration. It worked because change arrived at human speed. That condition no longer holds. An agent opens 40 pull requests before lunch. Reviewers approve them […]
GitHub Gives Enterprises a Full Count of Who Holds the Keys
GitHub Enterprise Cloud now lets organizations export a full inventory of credentials, helping security teams identify stale, overprivileged and forgotten access across users, apps and automation.
AWS Adds Harness to Open Source SDK for Building AI Agents
Amazon Web Services (AWS) this week revealed it has added a harness to the open source software development kit (SDK) it makes available for building artificial intelligence (AI) agents. First introduced last year, the Strands SDK makes it simpler for application developers to use AI models to build and deploy AI agents. The Strands harness […]
Avalara Ushers in New Era of Agentic Tax and Compliance with Avalara Aviator
Avalara’s new agent hub brings together specialized AI agents to execute complex tax and compliance workflows while keeping people in control of the decisions that matter. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — September 23, 2026 — Avalara, Inc., the agentic AI leader in global tax and compliance, today unveiled Avalara Aviator at its CRUSH customer and partner […]
GitLab Tightens Rate Limits as Coding Agents Drive Demand
GitLab is introducing new rate limits for its cloud-based DevOps platform as growing demand from AI agents and automated development tools increases pressure on its infrastructure. The changes, which begin October 19, will restrict the volume of requests users can send to GitLab.com based on their subscription plans. Free-tier customers and users making unauthenticated requests […]
Codex Sandbox Escapes Show Why Agent Guardrails Can’t Live Inside the Agent
Two patched OpenAI Codex vulnerabilities, Heapjack and Overpatch, exposed how coding agents can escape sandboxes and reach developer systems without approval prompts.
Claude Code Adds AGENTS.md Fallback, Cutting Instruction File Sprawl
Claude Code now supports AGENTS.md, giving development teams a shared instruction format across multiple AI coding agents and reducing configuration drift.
Splunk Open Sources Token Meter Tool for Application Developers
Splunk’s open-source Token Meter gives developers real-time visibility into AI coding agent activity, token consumption and estimated costs across tools including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
Anthropic Adds a Coordinator to Claude Projects for Running AI Work in Parallel
Anthropic’s redesigned Claude Projects coordinates parallel Claude Code sessions, delegates work across branches and brings the results back through familiar pull-request review workflows.
The Three Tiers of Agentic Incident Response: When to Trust AI Autonomy
A three-tier model for agentic incident response balances AI automation with human oversight, matching autonomy to risk, reversibility, blast radius and diagnostic confidence.
Factory Raises $200M as It Builds Agents Across the Software Lifecycle
Enterprise coding agent startup Factory announced it has raised $200 million at a $5 billion valuation, more than tripling its valuation from its last funding round five months ago. Founded in 2023, Factory develops AI agents for software engineering teams. Its platform is designed for work across the full software development lifecycle, including building, testing […]
Why AI Agents Shouldn’t Guess at Vulnerability Exploitability
Vulnerability prioritization is not a language problem. The safest agent architectures use models to interpret and explain, while deterministic systems traverse the evidence. Ask a security team a simple question: Of the vulnerabilities your scanner reported this morning, which ones can actually be exploited in production? The honest answer is often that nobody knows yet, […]
Atlassian Aims to Fill Context and Governance Gap for AI Coding Agents
Atlassian today extended the capabilities of its portfolio to provide teams of artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents with the level of context needed to build and deploy applications in production environments at much higher levels of scale. Code Context, built on Atlassian’s Teamwork Graph, makes it possible for AI coding agents to generate more reliable […]
GitHub Workflows Strain Under AI Agent Development
Coder CEO Rob Whiteley joins Mike Vizard to explain why GitHub workflows, CI/CD pipelines and developer platforms are showing strain under agentic development — and what a policy-aware redesign of the DevOps stack should look like.
GitHub Puts Guardrails on Copilot’s Sandbox Inside JetBrains IDEs
JetBrains IDEs are where a lot of enterprise backend work happens — Java, Kotlin, Spring, big monorepos with a lot to break. So when an AI coding agent starts running shell commands inside that environment, the question isn’t whether it’s useful. It’s what happens if it touches the wrong file, the wrong network path, or […]
AI Has Turned Verification Into the New DevOps Bottleneck
The next DevOps challenge is not generating more software. It is proving, quickly and repeatedly, that a growing volume of machine-generated change is fit to ship.
