Shopify built an LLM proxy that gives every engineer access to multiple AI providers — with automatic failover when any one of them goes down, changes, or disappears. When Claude Fable 5 shut down , Shopify's engineers didn't go into panic mode. The proxy shifted them to Claude Opus or GPT 5.5 automatically, without interrupting their workflows. “Fable looks amazing; we used it of course,” Farhan Thawar, Shopify’s head of engineering, says in a new VentureBeat Beyond the Pilot podcast . “When a

Zhipu AI's GLM-5.2 nearly matches Claude Opus 4.7 in a Snowflake benchmark with 103 coding tasks at one-fifth the cost per output token. But the Chinese model burns through nearly twice as many tokens per task. Still, that pricing gap is putting real pressure on Anthropic and OpenAI, and could rattle the valuations of Western AI labs. The article Snowflake CEO finds GLM-5.2 competitive with Opus 4.7 at a fraction of the cost appeared first on The Decoder .

At Config 2026, Figma turned its canvas into a full workspace with code, animation, shaders, and AI agents. But the intelligence powering all of it is rented from API providers, squeezing margins. And one of those providers is now building competing design tools. The article Figma bets on human judgment at Config 2026 while the AI powering its canvas belongs to someone else appeared first on The Decoder .

Like many people, I've started unleashing coding agents on my repos to do parallel, autonomous bug bashing. I had a couple problems: 1. Sometimes the bugs are not actually bugs, just stylistic choices. Fable said it was a bug that my login didn't have a length check error message. I've never seen a length checker on a login. 2. Testing bugs locally takes a long time. 3. Doing testing outside of Github and reviewing code in PRs is a disjointed experience. Gifhub is a simple Claude plugin that sol

AI agents are increasingly proficient at executing business tasks autonomously, but IT leaders are cautious about granting permissions to access enterprise systems. Part of the challenge lies in how AI reliability is measured. Industry standards often rely on EVAL scores, which provide a static snapshot of performance rather than a measure of overall reliability. These metrics can fail to capture predictability across prompts, environments, and input types, said Bryan Silverthorn, director of th

Figma's update adds a new code layer, support for motion and shaders, and the ability to create custom plugins for various tasks using AI.

Figma has unveiled some new design and coding product updates at its annual Config conference that aim to help creatives "push their ideas further" and automate tedious tasks with AI. Part of this is a reimagined canvas that's now optimized for full-stack development, according to Figma, bringing teams, AI agents, tools, and materials "together in […]

I've always thought call graphs are a great way to explore a codebase. But they tend to be noisy because programs typically have a lot of control flow going most of which is uninteresting. I'm toying around with a concept to generate hierarchical call graphs to visualize call flow at different levels of granularity like structs and packages. Because at times you want to see the architectural elements, and at times the low level detail. In addition, AI can help weed out some of the "uninteresting

What AI gateways work well? We currently use Anthropic's router directly for our AI agent (on val.town) but are considering adding OpenRouter or the Vercel AI Gateway, or something else entirely. I know little about gateways except that they seem to be the new VS Code forks (i.e. everyone is doing it). My cursory research tells me that OpenRouter has the most models/providers, but charges a 5.5% pay-as-you-go platform fee (we pass-through inference costs to customers) and doesn't support feature

Customer expectations have shifted from simple, fast conversational interactions to complex agentic AI-powered tasks that legacy IT architectures simply can’t handle. To address this, Intuit made the bold decision to overhaul its technical infrastructure for its business platform. The company moved away from its multi-agent setup, which prioritized broad capabilities, to a granular, skill-and-tool-based architecture while embedding human experts directly into the workflow alongside AI. This shif

In this article, we will explore those constraints through three layers of model design, look at the tradeoffs that come with each approach, and investigate the production systems that combine both small and large models.

Meanwhile, AI data centers will mop up 70% of all memory chips produced this year.

At high-stakes meetings with the White House, Anthropic's cofounder—a "weirdo," per one official—has been replaced by cofounder Tom Brown.
