AI Makes All Code 'Write-Only': What That Means for Developers and the Rest of Us
A software engineer told a London conference that AI-generated code is too dense to read, too fast to review, and best treated as disposable. His prescription: automate the checks and save human creativity for what machines still can't do.
A tiny AI agent from a London startup just beat Anthropic and OpenAI at reading scientific papers
Inherent, founded by four Google DeepMind veterans, says its Faraday agent outperformed much larger models from Anthropic and OpenAI on a key science benchmark, despite running on a model roughly a tenth of their size.
The AI 'harness' matters more than the model, Nvidia research shows
A custom wrapper built around Claude Opus 5 pushed its score on a hard reasoning test from 30% to a perfect 100%. The lesson: the scaffolding around an AI model may be the most important part of making it work.
From a Village With One TV to Building AI Tools in Milwaukee
Balaji Ingole grew up in rural India without a computer in sight. Now he's using AI agents to cut months of e-commerce grunt work down to days.
Google DeepMind teams up with EVE Online maker to test AI that plays like a person
The lab behind AlphaGo wants game characters that actually understand what's happening on screen. Its new partner? The studio running a 22-year-old space universe.
Liquid AI's New Draft Models Make Its LFMs Up to 3.2x Faster, No Quality Trade-off
A technique called speculative decoding lets a small helper model do the heavy lifting so the main model just checks the work. The result: dramatically faster output on everything from a data-centre GPU to a MacBook.
Slack Adds Dedicated AI Coding Channels So Teams Can Build Software Together
Slack Code lets you tag an AI coding assistant directly inside a channel, watch it write and revise code in real time, and approve the finished work before anything goes live.
Binance lets AI agents trade your crypto for you, but you are in charge of the safety net
The world's largest crypto exchange has launched Agent OS, which lets AI tools buy and sell on your behalf. Most of the guardrails are ones you have to set yourself.
AI agents at companies with safety guardrails fail more often, and that is actually the point
A July 2026 survey of 101 enterprises found that companies running a governed context layer report their AI agents giving confidently wrong answers at more than twice the rate of companies that have no such layer. The reason is not that the guardrails make things worse. It is that they make failures visible for the first time.
Why AI Agents Struggle to Search: The Hidden Maths Problem Slowing Them Down
Researchers at Apple ML Research found that the way AI agents hunt through text can hit a hard mathematical wall. Here is what that means for the tools you use every day.
AI Hijacks, Fake Fixes and a Developer Tool Bug: This Week's Security Roundup
A batch of roughly twenty smaller threats, including a new attack on AI agents, a scam hiding malware inside a public blockchain, and a flaw in a popular coding tool, shows where attackers are pushing right now.
More Memory Does Not Always Mean a Smarter AI Agent
A study across eight AI models found that feeding an agent more of its own past experience can hurt as much as help. The right amount of memory depends entirely on how capable the model already is.
