This article, published on May 20, 2026, highlights a simple HTML tool created by Mike Veerman that simulates different LLM token output speeds, ranging from 5 to 800 tokens per second. The tool is designed to help users…
According to the article, "vibe coding" – the practice of using AI tools to create apps without traditional programming skills – is expanding from desktop to mobile devices. Google announced updates at its I/O conference…
LangGraph, a popular framework for building multi-agent workflows, is vulnerable to **Memory Poisoning (ASI06)**, where a malicious payload written to shared state by one agent can compromise all other agents. To defend …
11 AI plugins for Godot in 2026, categorizing them by how they integrate with the editor (in-editor agents, MCP bridges, AI-native editors, and external clients). After running each through identical game-dev tasks, the …
ClawBattle, a new open-source benchmark that tests multimodal LLMs on code golfing tasks, which require both visual and textual understanding. It claims the benchmark avoids data contamination by using confidential, top-…
At Google I/O 2026, the company announced that its open-source Android app, AI Edge Gallery, now supports agent functionality and MCP (Model Context Protocol) connections, allowing large language models to run entirely o…
The primary risk from AI in software development is not poor code quality but a lack of code provenance, traceability, and attribution. It advises teams to shift focus from choosing the best AI model to improving workflo…
AI-generated SQL queries often appear correct but contain subtle errors due to insufficient prompting, not AI limitations. It emphasizes that providing proper schema context, business term definitions, and few-shot examp…
The article, published on March 5, 2026, explains why the author personally does not use "vibe coding" with Large Language Models (LLMs). The author cites being a "cheapskate" who refuses to pay for AI tokens and being a…
According to the article, the most effective way to improve AI coding agents' performance is not through better prompts or models, but by maintaining a "boring" and highly consistent codebase. The author argues that agen…
Google is discontinuing its open-source Gemini CLI tool and replacing it with a closed-source, proprietary version. Most users will lose access to the original tool on June 18, unless they have enterprise credentials or …

ArcBrush is a free, node-based 2D image editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that allows users to build non-destructive, automated pipelines for generating multiple image variants. By wiring together 79 different nodes, …
Following a forced auto-update to Antigravity 2.0 after Google I/O, users found their familiar code editor replaced by a blank "Agent Manager" view. The update split the ecosystem into two separate apps, and a file confl…
Ten strategies to reduce costs associated with LLM API usage, emphasizing that users pay for input and output tokens rather than the inference itself. Key recommendations include selecting appropriately sized models (e.g…
Release of mcp-probe v1.0.0, a CI-ready readiness gate for MCP servers that goes beyond basic startup checks to validate whether tools actually work in agent workflows. The tool can test real tool calls with configurable…
A developer created ValoVault, a third-party tool that automatically swaps skin loadouts in Valorant based on which agent a player selects, addressing a long-standing community request that Riot Games has declined to imp…
Google AI Edge Portal is a new platform that allows developers to benchmark and debug large language models (LLMs) directly on over 120 different physical Android devices. It provides automated testing for critical perfo…
