Developer tools news — AI coding assistants, IDEs, CLI tools, APIs, and productivity tools for software engineers. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and more.
A developer building a multi-agent Claude Code orchestration system discovered that the orchestrator was reporting "findings filed" without actually filing any issues, and that a deploy monitor had been reporting "soak c…
Pydantic has open-sourced Monty, a minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust for running code written by AI agents, with the goal of letting LLMs write Python instead of making sequential tool calls. Pydantic CE…
University of Michigan Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Cyrus Omar presented a vision for a "live type-theoretic computational commons," a shared monorepo where humans and swarms of AI agents make …
A developer spent three months testing AI automation frameworks and prompt collections, concluding that most are recycled listicles with no testing behind them. The developer reports that three workflow patterns — idea-t…
Cognition launched Devin Fusion, a coding agent architecture that pairs a frontier "lead" model for planning with a cheaper "sidekick" model for execution, delivering up to 39% better efficiency and a 46% cost reduction …
A developer has launched AICOM, a multi-agent pipeline that moves a plain-language brief through thirteen specialized stages—research, design, code, QA, and deploy—and AIMarket, a hub where agents discover and invoke cap…
OpenAI's Codex extension for VS Code operates as an asynchronous coding agent that reads repositories, edits files on disk, and runs terminal commands, rather than the 2021 Codex autocomplete API or GitHub Copilot's ghos…
GitHub's Copilot code review now automatically resolves comments once a developer pushes a commit addressing them and generates smart commit messages when its autofix suggestions are applied, the company announced. Copil…
Seeed Studio launched an official TinyGo starter kit built around its XIAO ESP32-C3 development board, created in partnership with the TinyGo project, according to Seeed's Kezang Loday. The kit includes 11 Grove modules,…
AI-generated code most often fails because models hallucinate library versions, invent nonexistent function parameters, or lose context in long conversations, according to a debugging guide that recommends pasting exact …
A developer has open-sourced AgentJIT, a just-in-time trajectory compiler that traces an AI agent's dynamic tool chains and compiles them into deterministic Python AST pipelines, cutting execution time from roughly 30 se…
Avtandil Labs released Jira AI Auditor, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects to Claude Desktop and audits Jira projects for overdue, unassigned, and reopened tickets, assigning a proportional 0–100 project…
Docker released a Docker Desktop update on September 8 that moves its AI debugging agent Gordon from a dedicated tab to a persistent right-side sidebar, adds Kubernetes cloud cluster management to Docker Offload, and pat…
A developer at ML Systems described a shared seven-family code grammar that lets seven AI agents — each owning a phase such as finance, deconstruction, design, build, market, verification, and an equity loop — write to a…
Orca launched as an open-source agent development environment (ADE) that runs coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, and Gemini in parallel across isolated workspaces, with a companion mobile app for i…
A developer published a field-notes playbook for hunting open-source cash bounties in 2026, aimed at both solo contributors and AI coding agents. The guide lays out filters and a claim order to avoid empty dashboards, st…
A developer released win-mute, an open-source PowerShell toolkit that disables 72 Windows 10 and 11 tweaks spanning AI features, telemetry, services, scheduled tasks, bloatware, and privacy settings. The tool applies Cop…
Aliaksei Zelianouski documented the production process behind a one-minute AI-generated video, detailing how he combined AI tools with FFmpeg and Claude Code to translate a visual concept into finished footage. The produ…
