Ornith Models Automate Agentic Coding With Self-Scaffolding
Ornith, a new family of open source LLM models from the DeepReinforce research collective, takes a novel approach to executing coding and debugging tasks: It generates an architectural framework to give the user’s harness a structured instruction set – a scaffold – to create an agent to complete the job. Available in a set of […]
Survey Surfaces Rise in IT Incidents Attributable to AI Coding Tools
A survey of 406 IT decision makers at organizations with more than 250 employees in North America finds 93% have experienced at least one infrastructure incident caused by reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) tooling. Conducted by Panterra Group on behalf of Spacelift, a provider of a platform for automating the management of infrastructure-as-code (IaC), the […]
AI Coding Agents Are Pulling CI Feedback Into the Inner Loop
The traditional shape of CI/CD assumed humans worked in the inner loop and pipelines policed the outer one. AI coding agents are tearing that geometry apart. When code can be generated in seconds, waiting until a pull request to run validation, tests, code review and standards checks turns the outer loop into a backlog of […]
AWS Previews iOS App to Manage Kiro AI Coding Workflows
Amazon Web Services (AWS) this week made available, via an early access program, an iOS application through which application developers can start sessions and approve changes made by the Kiro AI coding tool the cloud service provider created. Announced at the AWS New York Summit, the iOS application provides all the management capabilities provided by […]
Why AI Testing Must Live Inside Your CI/CD Pipeline
Here is a situation most engineering leaders recognize. You roll out AI coding tools. Features ship faster. Developers are more productive. Then, a few months in, you realize something unexpected: the engineers you most wanted to free up are busier than ever. They are reviewing PRs, firefighting regressions, juggling a dozen half-shipped features and the […]

Anthropic Reverses Course on Hidden AI Restrictions Following Developer Backlash
Anthropic has abruptly walked back a controversial, unannounced policy that degraded the performance of its latest model, Claude Fable 5. The reversal follows intense backlash from the machine learning community, which criticized the company for a lack of transparency and anti-competitive behavior, according to a Wired report. The controversy began earlier this week with the […]
AWS Unfurls Open Source AI Agent to Enable Better AI Coding Outcomes
Amazon Web Services (AWS) today previewed a customizable lightweight, open-source harness, dubbed Simple Strands Agent (SSA), that looks to provide a more consistent approach to the interactions that occur between artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools. Anoop Deoras, director of applied science for agentic AI at AWS, said one of the issues that has arisen in […]
Harness Adds Pair of Tools to Track ROI in AI Coding
Harness today added two tools to track and analyze the impact code generated by artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools is having on application development. An AI Development Lifecycle (DLC) tool installs agent software on a developer’s machine to track adoption, sessions, and the code created across every coding agent, while a Cloud & AI Cost […]
Cursor’s Composer 2.5 Brings Smarter, More Reliable AI Coding Agents
AI-assisted coding tools are getting a meaningful upgrade. Cursor has released Composer 2.5, the latest version of its proprietary coding agent model, and the improvements go well beyond a version bump. Composer 2.5 is described as a substantial improvement in intelligence and behavior over its predecessor, Composer 2. It handles sustained work on long-running tasks […]
AWS Extends Scope of AI Engines Embedded in Kiro Coding Tool
Amazon Web Services (AWS) today added additional capabilities to its Kiro artificial intelligence (AI) coding tool that promise to further reduce the time and effort needed to build software. Kiro now includes a Parallel Task Execution engine that accelerates application development by eliminating the need to complete a set of tasks sequentially, along with a […]
Reimagining AI-Assisted Coding for Team Scale in Enterprises
AI coding tools have advanced rapidly, but most are still designed around the individual developer. Their effectiveness depends heavily on a user’s ability to write understandable prompts, preserve architectural coherence across sessions, and identify areas that require additional work. This model works for some engineers, but it is far less dependable for a large organization’s […]
Google CEO Says 75% of New Code is AI-Generated
The era of the “human-only” software engineer is rapidly receding into the rearview mirror. Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed Wednesday that a whopping 75% of the company’s new code is now generated by artificial intelligence (AI), marking a major shift in how the tech giant builds its products. The velocity of this transition has caught […]
GitHub Introduces Stacked PRs to Ease Review Bottlenecks
GitHub’s new Stacked Pull Requests feature restructures how developers submit and review changes by allowing large code updates to be broken into smaller, interdependent units. With Stacked PRs, each unit can be reviewed and merged individually while still contributing to the overall feature set. The approach helps developers shift away from monolithic pull requests, which […]
Appknox Adds AI Tool to Detect and Fix Vulnerabilities in Mobile Applications
Appknox today added an ability to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to assess vulnerabilities in the binaries used to construct a mobile application and recommend a fix that can be passed on to an AI coding tool to implement. Company CEO Harshit Agarwal said KnoxIQ provides an AI copilot to more accurately assess how exploitable a […]
Zencoder Adds OpenClaw Alternative to AI Coding Portfolio
Zencoder today extended its artificial intelligence (AI) agent platform for generating code to include an offering that enables application developers to automate a range of tasks that go well beyond writing code. Company CEO Andrew Filev said Zenflow Work takes advantage of the core orchestration platform that Zencoder created to automate planning, reporting and communication […]
Giving AI Agents the Keys to Real Infrastructure
AI coding assistants can generate pull requests faster than most teams can review them, and that mismatch is creating a new kind of bottleneck across engineering organizations. The volume of AI-generated code is growing rapidly, but without a reliable way to validate that code against real production environments, teams are left choosing between slowing down […]
Sysdig Adds Runtime to Secure AI Coding Agents
Sysdig this week at the RSA Conference (RSAC) revealed it has created a runtime that makes it possible to securely deploy artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools. Jonas Rosland, director of the open source program for Sysdig, said the runtime makes it possible to monitor the activity of AI coding agents in real time, including potential […]
Anthropic Extends Claude Code Into Messaging Apps, Challenging OpenClaw’s Lead
Anthropic has debuted a new capability for its Claude Code platform, called Channels, that enables a number of key improvements. Notably, it allows users to communicate with the coding assistant through messaging platforms like Telegram and Discord. More important, Channels is continuously available, so it is closer to an active collaborator. Clearly, Anthropic’s release of […]
