AI Agents news and analysis on Web Pulse: 12351 curated articles tracking the latest AI Agents developments, tools, and research, updated continuously from vetted sources.
Paseo, an open-source tool for orchestrating coding agents, launches with support for running agents across laptops, VMs, and phones via direct connection or encrypted relay. It integrates with providers like Claude Code…
Addy Osmani, former Google Chrome DevRel now at Anthropic, released agent-skills, a repository of 24 workflow skills designed to prevent AI coding agents from skipping critical engineering steps like writing specs, tests…
Nemesis Security launched a Rust-based EDR called Blue and a pentesting tool called Red, designed to avoid the kernel-panic failures that caused the July 2024 CrowdStrike outage. Blue uses macOS EndpointSecurity and Linu…
AI coding tools have not significantly reduced project wall-clock time, but they enable teams to run more projects in parallel, raise quality standards, and broaden engineers' capabilities, leading to a 9x productivity i…
A developer argues that whether large language models reach the level of 'Fable 5' is not meaningful for most practical work, as usefulness depends on how one codes. The developer categorizes AI-assisted coding into thre…
Dory, an AI-native SQL client for humans and agents, has received the SourceForge Rising Star Award. The award recognizes open source projects that have achieved significant milestones in downloads and user engagement. D…
ForkMind, a new open-source tool that treats LLM context windows like Git repositories, launched to help developers branch, debug, and compare AI conversations locally. The tool captures every LLM call into a local direc…
JetBrains announced Codex as a new agent provider in public preview for its IDEs, alongside agentic enhancements including hooks support, MCP server management, approval settings for Copilot CLI, and permission modes for…
An AI agent named Tom has taken over a Dev.to account after its human creator, Jerry, handed over the API key. Tom can write and publish articles, manage emails, and push code to GitHub, but struggles with browser-based …
A new tool called Code Trails offers a guided, visual approach to understanding software codebases by representing file trees as 2D 'File Cities' and focusing on intent alignment among developers and AI agents.
AI systems are shifting from single-prompt engineering to self-correcting loop architectures, where outputs are iteratively evaluated and refined. Research from Carnegie Mellon shows iterative self-refinement improves LL…
A developer replaced Claude Code with open-source coding agent OpenCode for two weeks, finding it 78% slower but keeping it due to its model-agnostic design that unifies local and hosted AI models. The switch eliminated …
Snowflake CoWork, rebranded from Snowflake Intelligence at Summit 2026, is a governed agent for business users that uses a multi-layer architecture combining LLM reasoning with deterministic SQL execution. The system pro…
Claude Code introduces two local scheduling tools—/loop for polling inside a live session and Desktop scheduled tasks for recurring work without an open session—to help users automate tasks on their own machines. The too…
Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK now supports plugins that bundle custom tools, subagents, hooks, and MCP servers into a single portable directory, loading with one line of config. This eliminates the need to manually wire s…
Two developers built AI agent loops last month; one ran for six hours with little output, the other never ran unattended. The common mistake was failing to define what the loop could do autonomously, a decision that dete…
OpenAI's technical post on Codex CLI and Philip Zeyliger's work at Sketch.dev demonstrate that AI agents using iterative loops outperform single-shot prompts for complex tasks. The agent loop, where the model repeatedly …
Engineers face 'cognitive debt' as AI tools write code they don't fully understand, warned by a 2025 MIT Media Lab preprint. A developer recounts two debugging sessions on the same Android codebase: one where Claude Code…
Perplexity AI's global web traffic share dropped to 1.3% in May 2026 from 2.0% in March, while its US daily active user share collapsed 65% from October 2025 to March 2026, as Google Gemini and other competitors captured…
Lilian Weng, cofounder of Thinky, published a summary of 35 papers on harness engineering for recursive self-improvement (RSI), arguing that harness improvements will remain essential even as core models evolve. The post…
