Uber Caps Usage of AI Tools Like Claude Code to Manage Costs I wrote the other day about Uber blowing its 2026 AI budget in four months, and how that wasn't particularly surprising given they would ha
The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription I find this post by David Wilson very relatable. David lists 16+ projects he's spun up with AI tooling, and concludes: I didn't mean to build most o
arXiv:2605.29442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI coding agents increasingly act directly within software environments, yet existing analyses of their failures rely on benchmark trajectories that m
Anthropic are strongly rumored to be about to have their first profitable quarter. Stories are circulating of companies surprised at how expensive their LLM bills are becoming from usage by their staf
PICARD: Data, shields up DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy. [camera shakes] WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE
sqlite AGENTS.md SQLite gained an AGENTS.md file five days ago - but it's not intended for their own development, it's presumably aimed at people who are pointing agents at the SQLite codebase. It inc
arXiv:2605.25430v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coding agents produce rich trajectories while solving software-engineering tasks. To enable agent self-evolution, these trajectories can be distilled in
The most frustrating failure mode right now is that people submit issues that are not in their own voice. They contain an observed problem somewhere, but it has been thrown into a clanker and the clan
Every 'self-evolving agent' paper this year has mutated text: prompts, skill files, workflow graphs, memory schemas. MOSS from USTC & HKUST argues this is the wrong layer. The thing that actually brea
arXiv:2605.22794v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous agentic systems are largely static after deployment: they do not learn from user interactions, and recurring failures persist until the nex
arXiv:2605.17862v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scaling on-policy distillation (OPD) for large language models (LLMs) confronts a fundamental tension: asynchronous execution is necessary for system
I put together these annotated slides from my five minute lightning talk at PyCon US 2026, using the latest iteration of my annotated presentation tool. # I presented this lightning talk at PyCon US 2
arXiv:2605.16909v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-using agents are increasingly expected to operate across realistic professional workflows, where they must interpret multimodal inputs, coordinate
Great paper discussing agentic search vs. vector search. // Is Grep All You Need? // Pay attention to this on, AI devs. (bookmark it) They find that grep-style text search, when wrapped in the right a
arXiv:2605.12947v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-enabled AI workflows increasingly produce outputs through iterative generate-evaluate-revise loops. Each iteration can improve the candidate, but
Learning on the Shop floor Tobias Lütke describes Shopify's internal coding agent tool, River, which operates entirely in public on their Slack: River does not respond to direct messages. She politely
Your AI coding agent, the one you use to write code, needs to reduce your maintenance costs. Not by a little bit, either. You write code twice as quick now? Better hope you’ve halved your maintenance
GitLab Act 2 There's a lot going on in this announcement from GitLab about the 'workforce reduction' and 'structural and strategic decisions' they are making with respect to the agentic era. They're '
I recently talked with Joseph Ruscio about AI coding tools for Heavybit's High Leverage podcast: Ep. #9, The AI Coding Paradigm Shift with Simon Willison. Here are some of my highlights, including my
arXiv:2605.01567v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) coding agents increasingly operate over repositories, terminals, tests, and execution traces across long software-engineeri
arXiv:2604.27283v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based coding agents increasingly rely on external memory to reuse prior debugging experience, repair traces, and repository
Codex CLI 0.128.0 adds /goal The latest version of OpenAI's Codex CLI coding agent adds their own version of the Ralph loop: you can now set a /goal and Codex will keep on looping until it evaluates t
An update on recent Claude Code quality reports It turns out the high volume of complaints that Claude Code was providing worse quality results over the past two months was grounded in real problems.

Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual plans On the same day as Claude Code's temporary will-they-won't-they 100/month kerfuffle (for the moment, they won't), here's the latest on GitHub Copilot pricing
Anthropic today quietly (as in silently, no announcement anywhere at all) updated their claude.com/pricing page (but not their Choosing a Claude plan page, which shows up first for me on Google) to ad
AI agents are already too human. Not in the romantic sense, not because they love or fear or dream, but in the more banal and frustrating one. The current implementations keep showing their human orig
