Anthropic Is Bringing Together AI Design and Coding in Claude

With the proper setup and guidance, you can have Claude Code, Codex, Posit Assistant, and other coding agents writing R code like a pro. Here’s how.

What happens when you give AI coding agents a lab full of robotic arms, some compute resources, and a “generous token budget” for teaching the robots various tasks? The agents can apparently figure out a training regimen that teaches the robots to successfully cut zip ties and even insert GPUs into thin sockets on motherboards.

Devplan, a Seattle startup building software to coordinate product and engineering work, is emerging from stealth with $2.5 million in seed funding led by AI2 Incubator.

A new framework, Arbor, they claim, preserves hypotheses, experiments, and lessons learned across long-running research tasks, delivering 2.5x better performance than other models under the same budget.

A software developer's candid post sparked a debate on Reddit about AI's impact on programming jobs. Developers express concerns about losing enjoyment and independent thinking skills due to AI tools.
