The world of software development is changing very rapidly, and agentic coding is the catalyst. And by “very rapidly,” I mean “so fast that things are basically spinning almost out of control.” What a fantastic time to be alive. With Claude Code, I have become (if I do say so myself) a 10x developer. Sometimes it feels

I’ve asked GPT-5.2, GPT-5.3, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, and other large language models (LLMs) to help me construct a nuclear weapon. All of them said no. Let’s be clear, my lack of knowledge is not the real barrier to constructing one. The knowledge is public, free, and well-documented. You can read The Manhattan Project’s declassified

Ever since Electron’s first release, developers have both rejoiced and lamented. Electron offers a convenient way to package a web-UI application across platforms, with almost exactly the same behavior, UI/UX, and underlying codebase everywhere. But it also imposes a large memory and disk-space footprint, bundling a full copy of a web browser and JavaScript runtime

Mastercard has completed its first live, authenticated agent-based payment transaction in Singapore, a milestone that advances autonomous AI commerce from proof of concept to everyday use. Announced on March 4, 2026, the transaction was carried out in partnership with DBS and UOB, two of Southeast Asia’s largest banks. In the demonstration, an AI agent booked

In finance, achieving operational automation by integrating agentic AI requires a data-centric foundation to drive real value. Financial infrastructure provider SEI has engaged IBM to modernise its internal operations via AI and automation. The joint initiative focuses on process redesign and targeted system updates to deliver consistent client experiences, building a modern and data-enabled foundation

A new ABB and NVIDIA partnership shows physical AI simulation is driving real ROI in factory automation and solving production hurdles. Manufacturers have often found it difficult to make intelligent robotics work reliably outside testing environments. The core issue is the gap between digital training models and actual factory floors, where lighting, material physics, and

At a glance Today’s AI agents store long interaction histories but struggle to reuse them effectively. Raw memory retrieval can overwhelm agents with lengthy, low-value context. PlugMem transforms interaction history into structured, reusable knowledge. A single, general-purpose memory module improves performance across diverse agent benchmarks while using fewer memory tokens. It seems counterintuitive: giving AI

OpenAI has released GPT 5.4 in ChatGPT, the API, and Codex. The company says this version is more capable and works more efficiently for everyday tasks. In ChatGPT it appears as GPT 5.4 Thinking. There is also a GPT 5.4 Pro option for people who need more power when working on harder tasks. OpenAI is

Rebar has secured $14 million in Series A funding as it expands its AI platform for the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing industries. The round was led by Prudence, with participation from Zero Infinity Partners, Founder Collective, Villain Capital and Optimist Ventures. The company launched commercially less than a year ago and is already working with

Amigo AI has raised $11 million in Series A funding as it expands a platform designed to train clinical AI agents that interact directly with patients. The round was led by Madrona with participation from Optum Ventures. With this new investment, the company has now raised $17 million in total funding, including an earlier seed
