<li><strong>Claude opus 4.6 hits azure, enabling advanced AI agent workflows</strong>: Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6, an advanced reasoning model, is now available in Microsoft Foundry on Azure, featuring a 1M token context window and 128K max output. This integration provides enterprise security, governance, and scalability for deploying autonomous AI systems, excelling in complex coding and agentic workflows. StrongDM’s AI team is already using a “Software Factory” approach with coding agents writing and testing security software without human code review, aiming to spend at least $1,000 per day per engineer on AI tokens. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=D8NcAVvwq&amp;id=l4IBRTuZD&amp;id=89Ue9XF5U" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI hardware hits physical limits while cerebras raises big</strong>: AI scaling faces fundamental physical constraints, not just data or funding limitations, with issues like overheating Blackwell servers and the breakdown of Dennard scaling. High bandwidth memory (HBM) is critical but difficult to manufacture. Despite these challenges, Cerebras Systems, known for its massive AI chips, raised $1 billion at a $23 billion valuation and secured a $10 billion multi-year deal with OpenAI, preparing for a Q2 2026 IPO. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=FYalalT7h&amp;id=XvqH4WVit&amp;id=bU0yTAu0p" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare and wordpress push AI agents to the edge</strong>: Cloudflare introduced Moltworker, an open-source solution for running Moltbot, a self-hosted personal AI agent, on Cloudflare’s Developer Platform. This leverages Cloudflare Workers as an API router and Sandbox containers for runtime, positioning it as a proof of concept for secure, edge-based AI agents. Meanwhile, WordPress launched a Claude connector, allowing site owners to share back-end data with Anthropic’s Claude chatbot for querying analytics and other site information. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=O6nlcQZXM&amp;id=KkfioZD13&amp;id=OlBzv8ZXD&amp;id=TpsLSMM7l" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>AI shifts dev focus to architecture</strong>: AI coding agents are shifting software development focus to architecture and design, allowing engineers to use simpler tools like bash and Makefiles by removing the need for complex frameworks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/HjzMVzPQS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI boosts code output, not headcount</strong>: A major bank deployed AI coding tools to 18,000 developers, increasing code output by 30% but reducing headcount by only 11-12%, suggesting AI automates the “least critical part” of development. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dTdNclsij" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Manticore search adds new embedding models</strong>: Manticore Search 17.5.1 adds support for additional embedding models like Llama, Qwen, Mistral, and Gemma, and improves memory usage for shared Jieba morphology instances. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/KxwG1LxJz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>CodeQL improves maven support and LLM security</strong>: CodeQL 2.24.1 enhances Maven private registry support, adds Kotlin 2.3.0 support, and includes an experimental prompt injection detection query for LLM code. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/t6yIEU56N" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Ironpad offers local-first project management with rust</strong>: Ironpad is an open-source, local-first project management system built with a Rust/Axum backend and Vue 3 frontend, storing data as Markdown files with Git integration for version control. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/osvYU1Ljc" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>LLVM/Clang adds initial AMD zen 6 support</strong>: LLVM/Clang compiler has merged initial support for AMD’s next-generation Zen 6 processors through the new znver6 target, enabling optimized code compilation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/IPzjXRLF8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nativeline builds native swift apps with AI, no coding required</strong>: Nativeline claims to build native Swift apps for Apple devices using AI, without any coding or Xcode. Just describe your idea and watch it build in real-time, with one-click deployment to the App Store. Because, clearly, the world needs more apps built by magic, and who needs actual developers or the complexities of Xcode anyway? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0FxDZuTf9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI solves lego’s hardest engineering problem</strong>: Carnegie Mellon researchers developed Brick GPT, an AI system that solves the “decades-old LEGO construction problem” by generating buildable, structurally stable LEGO models from text prompts. Apparently, it took 40 years for humans to figure out how to stack plastic bricks, but AI can do it in seconds. Who knew LEGOs were such a profound engineering challenge? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/m2dPaArWb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Researcher to cure brain tumor with AI</strong>: A researcher announced a personal mission to cure his girlfriend’s brain tumor using AI-powered scientific tools, sharing his journey publicly. While the sentiment is noble, the idea that one motivated researcher with undergraduate biology training and “state-of-the-art AI tools” can meaningfully advance medical understanding of a “solved” disease is, shall we say, ambitious. Good luck with that. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/b8Zf9UP68" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
