Created by Claude with light editing by Tim O’Reilly Raffi Krikorian, Mozilla’s CTO, joined Tim O’Reilly at our recent AI Codecon to talk about open source AI.…

If you’re an instructor for the O’Reilly live training platform, you’ve got to be prepared for the unexpected. As a developer I think we all can understand the situation when a demo (you know, the one that you’ve tested a thousand times on your machine)…

Artificial intelligence systems are difficult to reproduce because their behavior depends on nondeterministic models and on data, configurations, policies, and external services that continue to change.…

On a recent episode of This Week in AI, we discussed that the number of nonhumans on the internet is greater than humans, 144 to 1. It’s an estimate, and the order of magnitude is more important than the number itself.…

AI systems are gaining more autonomy while governments, companies, and researchers are still working out how much oversight they need. On the latest episode of This Week in AI, we covered the US debate over AI governance, new frontier models, persistent…

The following article originally appeared on the Agentic AI Foundation blog and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. Websites are designed for people.…

In the final episode of Zero to Agent in 30 Minutes, AI engineer Sajal Sharma showed how to build a personal assistant on OpenClaw that tracks your tasks and notes and handles scheduled work on its own.…

In my previous Radar article, “Architectural Guardrails for AI-Generated Code,” I argued that AI coding agents need a layer that can hold architectural decisions in a structured corpus, retrieve the relevant ones, put them into the agent’s context before…

I use AI for writing all the time. But not because it’s good at writing. In fact, just the opposite is true. AI is so reliably bad at writing that I’ve actually taken advantage of that, and made its bad writing an integral part of my writing process.…

The following article originally appeared on Addy Osmani’s Elevate blog and is being republished here with the author’s permission. For much of human history, we’ve evaluated code quality via code review: Someone reads what you wrote and makes sure it’s…

AI makes it possible to generate code faster than teams can understand and support it. In this episode, Honeycomb cofounder and CTO Charity Majors joined Ben to discuss how that shift changes the work of building reliable software.…

In my previous article, I argued that agentic development needs enough specification to make correctness checkable. A quick prompt can get implementation started quickly, but someone still has to decide whether the result does what we wanted.…

New AI tools are making business data easier to explore. They’re also giving researchers new ways to study disease outbreaks and physical systems.…

This summer, I built a small experiment called ContextCue. The idea came from something I kept seeing during my internship. The engineers around me were using AI everywhere in the software development process.…

One of my biggest pet peeves is the Monday morning quarterback, the person who second-guesses every coaching decision after the fact. In The Monday Morning Agent, we’re building one that actually checks the data.…

In my work with G7–G12 students at Force Academy, a research initiative in Chongqing, I sometimes take a project that appears to be finished and give another student responsibility for using, checking, or modifying it.…

Artificial intelligence has changed cybersecurity permanently. While OpenAI’s inadvertent attack on Hugging Face brought AI-generated attacks to everyone’s attention, AI has been on security professionals’ radar for a long time.…

Ryan Carson has built companies for 25 years, including Treehouse, which taught over a million people to code. He knows what it takes to grow a team.…
