OpenAI’s $6.5B bet on AI hardware
OpenAI is moving into your living room. A new report confirms a collaboration with Jony Ive’s LoveFrom to build a suite of AI hardware, starting with a smart speaker that can “see. This isn’t just a Siri clone. By adding a persistent visual layer, OpenAI is moving toward proactive automation. Imagine a device that doesn’t […]
Meta’s New AI-Driven Methodology: Catching Bugs Before the Code is Even Merged
Meta engineering team proposed introducing LLMs for Catching Just-in-time Testing back in 2025. They proved it’s doable and scalable as of 2026 February – see the paper. This is a great example of agentic engineering. “Catching” and “Just-in-Time” – What do these mean? If you aren’t a software engineer, think of code like a massive, […]
Google’s New Patent: Gemini is Moving from “Search Engine” to “Personal Assistant”
Google just patented a system for training and informing AI using your real-time media consumption history (US12536221B2). The AI isn’t just waiting for you to type a query anymore; it’s contextually “living” alongside you. By analyzing the music, podcasts, videos, and articles you consume across your devices, Gemini builds a real-time map of your current […]
Lessons for Engineers
Addy Osmani reflects on 14 years at Google, emphasizing that engineering is primarily about people and user problems rather than just code. He argues that technical cleverness is often a liability because it creates maintenance overhead and reduces system clarity. The best engineers prioritize shipping imperfect work quickly to gain real-world feedback and avoid analysis […]
Prompt Repetition Improves Non-Reasoning LLMs According to This Paper
Title already says it all but see it yourself. Next time you interact with an LLM, try pasting your instruction twice. Literally a free win, a zero-effort agentic engineering tactic.
Meta and NVIDIA Teaming Up
Love is in the air. Meta and NVIDIA just made a partnership announcement. Read it on Meta’s blog. Read it on NVIDIA’s blog. Meta to use the following technology from NVIDIA: About Confidential Computing: NVIDIA Confidential Computing protects sensitive AI data, models, and computations in use by creating hardware-enforced trusted execution environments directly on GPUs, […]
The Shift From ‘Vibe Coding’ to ‘Agentic Engineering’
It’s rare that a “shower thought” becomes a Wikipedia entry, but that is exactly what happened with Vibe Coding. One year later, the landscape of software development has shifted so fundamentally that the “vibe” is maturing into something far more robust. Here is an exploration of that evolution: from the experimental chaos of early LLMs […]
Wikipedia at 25: The Last Bastion of Human-First Knowledge?
As someone who took Artificial Intelligence back in college long before it became a daily headline, I’ve watched the digital landscape shift from “search-and-retrieve” to “generate-and-predict.” This year, Wikipedia celebrates its 25th Anniversary (Wikipedia25.org), and their chosen theme—“Knowledge is Human”—couldn’t be more timely. In a world increasingly saturated with “synthetic data” and LLM-generated content, Wikipedia […]
