Despite fears AI will destroy white-collar jobs, Anthropic is actively hiring—over 100 software engineers and hundreds of other roles across finance, marketing, legal, and sales—arguing that AI changes how work is done rather than eliminating it, a view echoed by industry leaders like Jensen Huang.
OpenAI released GPT-5.3-Codex-Spark, a fast, text-only coding model that runs on Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine 3 and achieves about 1,000 tokens per second, roughly 15x faster than its predecessor and faster than Nvidia-based options; it's a research preview for ChatGPT Pro and select partners, with a 128k-token window, built for speed-over-depth coding tasks, signaling OpenAI’s push to diversify hardware away from Nvidia.
A ZDNET tester explores a fully local, free coding AI stack using Goose (agent framework), Ollama (LLM server), and Qwen3-coder, detailing installation, a sample WordPress plugin test, and notes that while the local setup runs on a powerful Mac with 128GB RAM and can be competitive with cloud options, early results show accuracy issues and multiple retries; it's promising but not yet ready to fully replace Claude Code or Codex.
OpenAI introduced GPT-5.3-Codex, a faster coding model that the company says helped accelerate its own development by debugging training, managing deployment, and evaluating results; experts caution that it's AI-assisted human work rather than autonomous self-improvement, as hype around self-building AI persists.
AI contributed to over 25% of Google's (Alphabet) new code, with Vibe Coding emerging as a key workflow, highlighting advancements in AI-assisted software development.
Claude Haiku 4.5 is a new small AI model that offers near-frontier coding performance at one-third the cost and more than twice the speed of previous models, making it ideal for real-time, low-latency tasks and AI-assisted development, while also maintaining high safety standards.
Anthropic has launched Claude Sonnet 4.5, its most advanced AI model for coding, capable of building production-ready applications and outperforming previous models on benchmarks. It is available via API and chatbot, with a focus on reliability, alignment, and security, amid a competitive AI landscape.
Claude Sonnet 4.5 is a state-of-the-art AI coding model that significantly improves reasoning, math, and computer use capabilities, with extensive safety and alignment enhancements, new features like checkpoints and a SDK for building AI agents, and broad applications across software development, legal, financial, and creative tasks.
For years, tech companies encouraged kids to learn coding with the promise of high-paying jobs, but many students are now finding that these jobs are not as plentiful or guaranteed as promised, revealing a disconnect between expectations and reality in the tech job market.
Alexandr Wang, Meta's 28-year-old CEO, emphasizes the importance of 'vibe coding'—using AI to generate code through natural language prompts—especially for young people, as he believes AI will soon obsolete traditional coding skills. Wang's goal is to build superintelligent AI models and hardware that merge digital perception with cognition, advocating for early immersion in AI tools to gain a future competitive edge. He highlights the transformative potential of AI in software development and the importance of experimenting with these tools now.
Anthropic has expanded access to its learning mode feature for Claude, enabling users and developers to engage with the chatbot in a Socratic, guidance-based manner that promotes learning and understanding, especially in coding contexts, with options for customization and future feature development.
Anthropic has released its most powerful AI model, Opus 4.1, which is more capable in coding, reasoning, and handling complex tasks, positioning itself ahead of the upcoming GPT-5 launch by OpenAI, with a focus on incremental improvements and responsible AI development.
OpenAI's GPT-5 demonstrates strong performance in coding tasks, attracting attention from tech and business leaders.
Swedish AI startup Lovable has become the fastest-growing software company in history, reaching $100 million in annualized revenue in just eight months by enabling non-coders to create functional websites and apps using AI, disrupting traditional coding and attracting global entrepreneurs and companies.
Goldman Sachs is testing an AI coding agent named Devin as a new employee, planning to deploy hundreds to thousands of instances to augment their workforce, emphasizing a hybrid human-AI approach to improve productivity.
