MiMo Code Is the Open Source Answer to Claude Code
Terminal-based coding assistants for AI-curious developers are hot these days, and the most popular choice appears to be Claude Code. But Anthropic’s commercial offering has a new open source rival: MiMo Code, released under an MIT license by Chinese smartphone giant Xiaomi. Unlike Claude Code, MiMo Code is not restricted to a specific LLM provider. […]
AI Is Here to Stay. The Real Challenge Is Operating It Securely
AI-generated code is already in production. Whether we are comfortable with that or not is beside the point. In the OpenStack project, which I have helped steward for more than 15 years, we are seeing developers submit patches built with AI assistance, and sometimes patches composed almost entirely by AI tools. Some of those contributions […]
Stack Overflow Is Being Reborn as a Back-End Service for AI Agents
Will that stop its decline? We’ll soon find out. Once upon a time, Stack Overflow was, love it or hate it, the site programmers went to find answers for their most annoying development questions. Back then, according to Prashanth Chandrasekar, Stack Overflow’s CEO, the site had “100 million monthly visitors.” Then AI came along. From […]
Cohere’s North Mini Code Lets Devs Stack Their Own AI
Toronto startup Cohere has released an open-weight model designed for developers to use to build their own AI stack. The open-weight North Mini Code is a 30-billion-parameter “mixture-of-experts” (MoE) model. MoE equips a model with specialized neural nets for individual tasks, such as mathematics and code generation. Mistral pioneered this approach to compete with larger […]
Survey Surfaces Depth of DevSecOps Crisis in the Age of AI
A global survey of 2,350 developers, CISOs and application security managers published this week finds that while nearly all respondents (96%) work for organizations that have embedded or connected artificial intelligence (AI) code and tools into some aspect of their application development workflows, nearly half of all code (49%) running in production environments was AI-generated […]
CDEvents Simplifies AI-Ready Developer Platforms
Internal developer platforms have become a tangled web of orchestration tools, CI runners and deployment systems that rarely speak the same language. Every new integration adds another translation layer, and as AI-driven automation starts to plug into those pipelines, the lack of a shared vocabulary for what is actually happening across the software delivery lifecycle […]
Datadog Leverages AI to Extend Observability Reach Deeper into DevOps Workflows
Datadog this week significantly extended the reach of its Bits artificial intelligence (AI) framework to enable DevOps teams to automatically discover and resolve issues based on the telemetry data collected by its observability platform. Announced at the company’s DASH 2026 conference, Datadog is now embedding an AI coding tool, dubbed Bits Code, across its entire […]
Survey Surfaces Emerging DevOps Bottlenecks in the AI Coding Era
New Black Duck survey reveals AI coding tools boost developer productivity but create critical bottlenecks in manual reviews, code rework, and security vulnerabilities.
Visual Studio Code 1.123 Brings Deeper AI Integration and Smarter Agent Tools
Microsoft released Visual Studio Code 1.123 on June 3, expanding its AI-assisted development capabilities with features that reflect the editor’s direction: toward a more agentic, context-aware workflow. The update is relatively focused, but several additions stand out to developers who rely on Copilot and other AI models day to day. A Million-Token Context Window One […]
Kilo Adds Benchmark to Identify Most Efficient AI Models for Coding
Kilo today made available a benchmarking framework for its open source artificial intelligence (AI) agent that enables application development teams to generate code using multiple models. Company CEO Scott Breitenother said KiloBench measures the impact that frontier AI models are having on actual production workflows versus relying on a set of benchmarks, such as SWE-bench […]
Flowtopia Live 2026: Engineering the Frictionfree Enterprise
If your goals are accelerating flow and maximizing value in your organization, consider grabbing yourself a ticket to this year’s Flowtopia Live on Wednesday, June 24th. Flowtopia is a community of value stream practitioners, and this is our annual online jamboree where we gather to share, learn, and celebrate all things flow-related. Over 12 hours, […]
Broadcom Aims to Better Secure Spring Applications in the AI Era
Broadcom today released a raft of updates to the open source Spring framework for building Java applications to primarily address a wave of vulnerabilities discovered by researchers using artificial intelligence (AI) tools. At the same time, Broadcom is also adding a managed service through which organizations can secure thousands of Spring dependencies for organizations building […]
The Hidden Cost of AI Code: Keeping Quality Up With Production
AI accelerated code delivery, but the bigger change is in who’s building software, how much is being built and what it takes to trust it.
AI Is Accelerating DevOps, Poor Integrations Are Slowing It Down
As AI speeds up software delivery, the real bottleneck isn’t scanning or CI. It’s how safely and predictably change moves across tools, teams, and companies. Something strange is happening in DevOps right now. AI copilots are writing code, generating tests, triaging incidents, and even summarizing pull requests before a human looks at them. The tooling […]
SmartBear Adds Computer Vision Capability to Testing Platform
SmartBear this week extended its ability to apply artificial intelligence to application testing with the addition of a computer vision capability that can be used to detect objects in applications. Prashant Mohan, vice president of product at SmartBear, said the company’s TestComplete platform now combines computer vision and optical character recognition to help automate the […]
Agentic Observability is Not a Chatbot Over Telemetry
Agentic observability isn’t about removing engineers from the loop. It is about making the loop faster, better informed, and easier to operate at the scale modern systems require.
Harness Acquires Codecov to Identify Untested Code
Harness this week acquired Codecov, a provider of a platform that analyzes the percentage of a codebase that has been tested, from Sentry. Brad Rydzewski, a senior vice president and general manager for Harness, said Codecov makes it simpler for DevOps teams to track testing coverage at a time when the volume of code being […]
Why the Trust Layer Is the Next Thing Developers Will Commodify
Engineering roadmaps inside enterprises that never planned to build AI products are now being eaten by AI work. Teams at hospitals, banks and government agencies are spending huge chunks of their sprint capacity wiring up models, UI components and accessibility plumbing for AI features that aren’t core to what their business actually does. The mismatch […]
Postman Adds AI Agent to Automate API Development and Governance
Postman added an artificial intelligence (AI) agent to its portfolio of tools and platforms for building and governing application programming interfaces (APIs) that can autonomously perform tasks ranging from development and documentation to exploration and setting up integrations with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) environments. Company CEO Abhinav Asthana said the AI Engineer significantly reduces the […]
xAI Opens Grok Build 0.1 to Developers via API
xAI’s Grok Build 0.1 is now available in public beta via the xAI API — a fast, purpose-built coding model for agentic workflows, debugging, and MCP support.
The Validation Gap Is Costing You More Than You Think
Our latest State of Software Delivery report analyzed more than 28 million CI workflows and found a pattern that should give engineering leaders pause. Average throughput grew 59% year over year. Main branch activity for the median team declined 7%. Teams are generating more code than ever before. Less of it is reaching production. The […]
AI Is Changing How We Write Infrastructure, But It’s Not Solving How We Control It
Over the past year, AI has fundamentally changed how software is written. Infrastructure code is no exception. Tasks that once required deep familiarity with tools, syntax, and workflows can now be handled through natural language. Engineers are no longer starting from a blank file. In many cases, reviewing and modifying code generated for them has […]
Agentic SRE: The Next Frontier of Reliability
Agentic SRE is the evolution of site reliability engineering where AI agents help observe systems, reason over telemetry and take bounded operational actions under human-defined guardrails.
