20 results for “coding agents”
The Zvec team open-sourced zg (zvec-grep), a local-first CLI and MCP layer that unifies ripgrep, BM25, and vector search for humans and coding agents. Qwen Developers amplified the launch on 2 September with benchmark claims on agent token use.
OpenAI released a field report that tracks eight scientific computing projects where coding agents reduced runtime and engineering overhead. The projects span genomics, immunology, statistics, and RNA sequencing.
Unity published plugins for Claude Code, Codex, and Grok that add 31 Unity-specific skills for game-engine tasks. The move targets the stale tutorials that make general AI agents generate outdated Unity code.
Z.ai released GLM-5.2 on June 13 with 1M context, MIT weights, and Coding Plan access before benchmarks. Developers can evaluate it in agents today while GLM-5.5 remains entirely unconfirmed.
On 2 September 2026 Google DeepMind released Gemini 3.8 Flash for coding and long-horizon agents at unchanged 3.7 Flash pricing through December 2026. A separate 3.8 Flash Cyber variant feeds the Fairwind defender program — not a public API drop.
Z.ai released GLM-5.2, a 753B open-weight model with MIT licensing that matches Anthropic's Opus 4.8 on agentic benchmarks at roughly one-fifth the token cost. The 1M-context model is already running in Cursor and Claude Code, shifting enterprise leverage toward self-hosted inference.
Zhipu AI compressed its model releases to two-month intervals across early 2026, culminating in GLM-5.2's June launch with a 1-million-token context window. The cadence signals a production-line strategy that holds parameter count steady while iterating context, tooling, and pricing to undercut U.S. rivals on agentic coding workloads.
DeepSeek released DeepSeek Harness (dsh) in developer preview on 13 August 2026, an MIT-licensed agent runtime where models, tools, and UI are all plugins. This design lets teams assemble internal coding agents from swappable parts.
Same-day OpenAI posts: a research-org dashboard saying coding agents now exceed human labor hours inside the lab, plus Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki’s warning that chain-of-thought monitoring is getting less reliable as models scale. Vendor numbers — but the CoT fade is the sharp edge.
September 2026 watch through 14 Sep: Daybreak keys passed, DeepSeek V4.1-Flash live with Pro remap, Astra and Agents API surfaces landed — Gemini 4 and Apple China launch timing still open.
Mistral migrated 40,000 lines of Fortran 77 to C++ using a structured agent workflow. The case study shows that parity harnesses and documentation must precede migration.
GitHub introduced Copilot pull request approvals in public preview, letting repository admins authorize the AI to sign off on required-review rules. The capability includes path-scoped approval boundaries and automatically dismisses on new commits.
