Coding agents left the sidebar this week. GitHub put Copilot’s cloud agent inside Microsoft Teams conversations. Cursor taught always-on agents to wake on PRs and Slack, farm work to isolated VMs, and keep a goal until CI is green. VS Code 1.134 split the agent harness into its…
The last 48 hours made one thing obvious to anyone shipping software: the model is no longer the whole product. A cheap experimental vision model, a research harness that turns a strong LLM into a general long-horizon agent, always-on teammates that live in your existing tools…
The past 48 hours underscore how model integrations into core developer platforms are accelerating. GitHub Copilot’s rapid addition of Grok 4.6 and Gemini 3.7 Flash gives engineers immediate access to stronger reasoning and agentic capabilities without leaving their IDE. OpenAI’s…
