A new demo walks through buildingTiny Agents in Python—just ~70 lines using theModel Context Protocol (MCP). No boilerplate. Just clean LLM-to-tool hookups with standardized agent configs. Agents plug into multiple MCP servers out of the box—from local filesystems to Playwright browsers—and handle ..

Salesforce’s AI Metadata Service (AIMS) just got a serious speed boost. They rolled out a multi-layer cache—L1 on the client, L2 on the server—and cut inference latency from 400ms to under 1ms. That’s over 98% faster. But it’s not just about speed anymore. L2 keeps responses flowing even when the b..

Modern AI broke the rulebook. By spitting outstochastic outputs from unbounded inputs, it flipped software dev from a game of precision to one of probability. Old tools—funnels, SLO dashboards, crisp A/B tests—don’t quite fit anymore. They were built for systems that behaved. Today’s AI stacks mov..

OpenAI walked back its latest release after users flaggedGPT-5for sounding flat, hallucinating more, and losing creative spark. The fix? Rolling back to the friendlierGPT-4o. Head-to-head tests told a nuanced story:GPT-5nailed accuracy and structure across most prompts. But when the task called for..

Generative AI tools likeGPT-4oandClaude Sonnetnow handle the grunt work—fixing bugs, cranking out code, writing docs—with scary accuracy. Amazon and Anthropic are already hinting at hiring fewer engineers. But the jobs aren’t vanishing; they’re mutating...

freeCodeCamp dropped a new course that walks devs through building an AI-powered shopping agent from scratch. It ties togetherLangGraphfor orchestration,Geminifor reasoning, andMongoDB Atlasas the vector memory layer. The build covers aNode.js backend, aReact frontend, and wires inmulti-step agent ..

Datadog just dropped its 6th-gen real-time timeseries engine:RTDB. It's built inRust, sharded per core, and backed by LSM trees that don’t blink under pressure. The secret sauce? A custom storage engine calledMonocle—optimized for high-cardinality chaos and bursty workloads. It’s pulling60x faster ..

Git worktrees have been around since 2015, but few devs use them like they could. They let you work on multiple branches at once—each in its own directory—without the usual stash-switch-stash-repeat dance. The real power move? Pair them with abare repo. That gives you a clean, central base where ea..

ClickHouse ran five LLMs through an autonomous root cause gauntlet using OpenTelemetry data. None nailed it solo. OpenAI’s o3 and Claude Sonnet 4 came closest. GPT-4.1 was the cheapest brain on the block. Things got weird under the hood. Token usage spiked unpredictably. Queries slammed observabili..

Marc Brooker breaks down the jump fromAmazon DynamotoDynamoDBandAurora DSQL, tracing how the guts of cloud databases have changed. It’s a story about dropping old trade-offs and picking up stronger guarantees. DynamoDB ditches the old hash-ring replication for multi-AZ replica sets backed by Paxos...
