Anthropic’s Claude AI platform has experienced a surge in popularity, especially during the holiday season, as developers and enterprises adopted its coding agent capabilities. The company announced the release of Opus 4.6, described as a direct upgrade with faster performance and improved precision for complex tasks. Industry leaders praised the model’s ability to handle long‑running, multistep projects without constant supervision. While Claude enjoys strong user loyalty, competitors such as OpenAI and Google are intensifying their own AI offerings, prompting Anthropic to emphasize security enhancements and a continued focus on reliable, text‑based productivity tools.

GitHub has expanded its AI assistant offering by integrating Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s Codex into the platform for Pro+ and Enterprise subscribers. The new agents can be invoked directly from issues, pull requests, the Agents tab, or the VS Code extension, and developers can address them with @claude, @codex or @copilot comments. Each session counts as a premium request during the public preview, and GitHub says additional agents from Google, Cognition and xAI are slated to join the lineup. Leer más →

OpenAI has launched a new macOS application for its Codex coding tool, extending the platform beyond the earlier command‑line and web interfaces. The app supports multiple AI agents working in parallel, offers background automations, and lets users choose different agent personalities. The release follows the recent rollout of the GPT‑5.2‑Codex model and reflects a broader trend toward agentic software development, where AI agents handle much of the programming workload. OpenAI executives highlighted the speed and flexibility the new interface brings to developers. Leer más →

A hands‑on comparison of Google’s Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash models shows that the higher‑tier model delivers deeper reasoning and smoother code generation for vibe‑coding projects, while the faster model requires more manual prompting and frequent fixes. The experiment highlights trade‑offs between speed and depth, with Gemini 3 Pro generally producing more complete results with fewer iterations. Leer más →

Cursor, the AI coding startup, has launched Visual Editor, a new feature that lets developers and designers modify web‑app aesthetics using natural‑language prompts. The tool blends design controls with code, offering real‑time CSS adjustments and a chat interface powered by Cursor’s AI. Aimed at reducing friction between design and development teams, Visual Editor expands Cursor’s platform beyond pure coding and positions the company against competitors in the burgeoning AI‑driven software creation market.

Swedish AI coding startup Lovable announced that its annual recurring revenue has reached $200 million, a figure it achieved within four months of surpassing $100 million. CEO Anton Osika credited the decision to remain in Europe, rather than relocate to Silicon Valley, as a key factor in the company’s rapid growth. The firm leveraged strong European talent, recruited engineers from Silicon Valley firms, and benefited from an active open‑source community. Lovable’s latest $200 million Series A round, led by Accel, valued the company at $1.8 billion, underscoring investor confidence in its European‑centric strategy. Leer más →

A hands‑on comparison of three leading generative AI models—Google's Gemini 3 Pro, OpenAI's ChatGPT 5.1, and Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.5—was conducted by tasking each with building a web‑based Thumb Wars game. Gemini 3 Pro delivered the most complete and responsive code, automatically adding desktop keyboard controls and a 3‑D ring environment. ChatGPT 5.1 produced a functional prototype but required additional prompting for desktop support and lacked depth. Claude Sonnet 4.5 generated a playable demo with customization options but failed to implement promised keyboard controls. Overall, Gemini 3 Pro proved the fastest and most adaptable coder.

After years of stagnant revenue and a 50% staff cut, Replit revived its fortunes by launching the Replit Agent, an AI‑powered coding assistant. The shift from serving professional developers to targeting non‑technical knowledge workers unlocked rapid revenue growth, leading to a $250 million funding round, a $3 billion valuation, and annualized revenue in the $150 million range. Enterprise customers now drive high‑margin earnings, while the company bolsters safety after a high‑profile database mishap. Replit faces competition from AI labs but bets on its unique focus and infrastructure to stay ahead. Leer más →

Anthropic announced the release of Claude Sonnet 4.5, a frontier AI model aimed at production‑ready software development. The company says the model delivers industry‑leading results on coding benchmarks such as SWE‑Bench Verified and can autonomously build full applications, provision databases, purchase domains, and even conduct SOC 2 audits. Claude Sonnet 4.5 is accessible through the Claude API and chatbot with pricing unchanged from the prior version. Anthropic also introduced a Claude Agent SDK and a research preview called “Imagine with Claude,” underscoring a rapid development cycle that positions the firm against rivals like OpenAI’s GPT‑5.

AI‑assisted coding, often called vibe coding, lets developers describe functionality in plain language and have AI generate the code. Experts from Hostinger Horizons share five practical tips to get the most out of this approach: keep prompts short and specific, break tasks into smaller steps, ask the AI to suggest improvements, test frequently, and maintain human oversight. By following these guidelines, users can create more accurate, maintainable, and innovative applications while still leveraging the speed and accessibility of AI tools. Leer más →

The promise of AI agents has driven massive hype, with companies touting dramatic productivity gains. In practice, the most successful use case remains AI‑powered coding, while consumer‑facing tools like Anthropic’s Computer Use and OpenAI’s Operator, Deep Research, and ChatGPT Agent have struggled with bugs and limited effectiveness. Industry leaders continue to invest heavily, but challenges around reliability, job impact, and safety regulation keep the technology firmly in a developmental phase. Leer más →

Warp has introduced Warp Code, a suite of tools that give developers real‑time visibility into AI‑driven command‑line coding agents. The new features include step‑by‑step diff tracking, inline commenting, and automatic compiler troubleshooting, all presented in a familiar interface with dedicated windows for instructions, agent responses, and change logs. With roughly 600,000 active users and rapid ARR growth, Warp positions itself against other AI coding platforms like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and Codex, emphasizing tighter feedback loops and greater control for developers.

A Fastly survey finds that over 70% of senior developers say AI‑assisted coding makes their jobs more enjoyable and speeds delivery, though they spend extra effort reviewing machine‑generated code. Only a small share of junior programmers rely heavily on AI, preferring hand‑crafted solutions. The study also reveals generational gaps in energy‑impact awareness, with about 80% of older coders considering power costs versus roughly half of younger developers. Senior engineers, who balance testing, architecture, and mentoring, view AI as a way to recapture the “fun dopamine hit” of programming while staying cautious about broader automation consequences.
