What happens when you give AI coding agents a lab full of robotic arms, some compute resources, and a “generous token budget” for teaching the robots various tasks? The agents can apparently figure out a training regimen that teaches the robots to successfully cut zip ties and even insert GPUs into thin sockets on motherboards.
Anthropic's Claude Code changed the AI game last year when it turbocharged our ability to vibe code. No longer did you need a comprehensive understanding of coding languages to build new apps, websites and widgets; you could describe what you want in plain words, and the AI assistant would make it happen. Now, it's getting into more creative work.
Code.org, one of the major K-12 computer science education curriculum providers, is rebranding to CodeAI, expanding its mission from computer science education into learning about AI and building “digital fluency,” the nonprofit announced this month.
With the proper setup and guidance, you can have Claude Code, Codex, Posit Assistant, and other coding agents writing R code like a pro. Here’s how.
Elon Musk's rocket company announced on Tuesday that it had exercised its option to buy AI coding startup Cursor for $60 billion.
A software developer's candid post sparked a debate on Reddit about AI's impact on programming jobs. Developers express concerns about losing enjoyment and independent thinking skills due to AI tools.
Anthropic study finds AI coding agents now match engineers in task success, raising questions about the future of coding jobs and software development.
It allows engineering teams to host frontier-level AI on their own sovereign infrastructure, entirely eliminating vendor lock-in.
