GOTO ConferencesAI Finds Vulnerabilities Faster Than Open Source Can Fix Them
AI can now find vulnerabilities at industrial scale, but fixes still depend on burned-out maintainers. Dependency hygiene just became a compliance and…
InfoQContext engineering is the real bottleneck for coding agents at scale
LinkedIn encoded tribal knowledge into MCP playbooks so coding agents actually work across 1,000 repos. 8,000 daily users, but the maintenance burden is real.
AI EngineerCode Quality Has a Simple Answer: It Depends on Disposability
A practical framework for deciding when code quality matters: disposable software needs none, durable software needs all. The real work is making rigor cheap.
David OndrejLocal AI crosses a threshold: what running 180B models on a $7K
A 180B model on a $7K laptop generates games offline. The demo is real. The question for engineering leaders: is local AI production-ready yet, or still a demo?
AI EngineerAgents Are Getting Wallets Before Real Autonomy
Coinbase is building a payment rail for AI agents, and the volume numbers are real. But the self-sustaining agent economy remains speculation.
Hugging FaceSpeculative decoding is the cheapest speed-up you haven't measured
Speculative decoding can give multi-fold inference speedups on hardware you already own, but acceptance rates decide whether it pays off. Here's what to…
AI EngineerModel Swapping Only Works When Evals, Not Benchmarks, Decide
Four frontier models fail differently on the same tasks. Microsoft's model-swap workshop shows why custom evals, not benchmarks, should decide which LLM ships.
InfoQApps Become APIs: The Real Moat Is Interoperability, Not UI
Small local models can match cloud LLMs if you run evals. Once agents generate UI, apps may become APIs and standards the real moat.
Hugging FaceDurable agents are coming. P Durable is not ready for your stack
P Durable is not a coding agent; it is a crash-resistant harness for building always-on agents. The demo works, but production durability remains unproven.
Theo - t3․ggMost features are prompts once you expose the data
A T3 Code maintainer argues most planned features should be prompts. His examples are concrete; the vendor bias is real.
