A dev ditched Electric + PGlite for a lean, browser-native sync setup built aroundWASM SQLite,JSON polling, andBroadcastChannel reactivity. It’s running inside a local-first notes app. Changes get logged with DB triggers. Sync state? Tracked by hand. Svelte stores update via lightweight polling, wi..

A new LLM evaluation framework taps into an"LLM-as-judge"setup—think strong model playing human annotator. It gets prompted (or fine-tuned) to mimic human scores and rate outputs from other LLMs. It runs on a tightly labeledgolden dataset, handles both pointwise and head-to-head comparisons, and sh..

Claims of 10–100x dev speed from AI tools skip the hard parts—code reviews, bug queues, flaky tests. In practice, AI helps with the small stuff: one-off scripts, throwaway glue code, basic scaffolds. But scaling that help across big, messy codebases? Still a pipe dream. Too much context lost. Too ma..

Google’s AI agentJulesjust leveled up—out of beta and into full-on dev mode. It now handlesasynchronous tasks, pushesreal-time code updates, and can spin up pull requests with deeperGitHub integration. Under the hood: it runs on the beefierGemini 2.5 Promodel. AddsEnvironment Snapshotsfor state cap..

Generative AI databases like SingleStore now cramOLTP,OLAP,vector search, andfull-text searchinto one SQL-first platform. Structured, unstructured—it eats both. No ETL. No silos. Just real-time data, ripe for AI models and semantic queries. System shift:Blending transactional and analytic guts in o..

Anthropic just yanked OpenAI’s API access to Claude. Reason? Alleged violations of terms that forbid using Claude to train rival models—like GPT-5. Windsurf, an OpenAI acquisition target, got the boot earlier too. Spot the pattern: tighten access, box out competitors. System shift:APIs aren’t just ..

OpenAI’s release of GPT-5 backfired: instead of excitement, users felt betrayed by a forced upgrade that stripped away the warmth and reliability they had come to rely on in GPT-4o. Many treated the model as more than a tool — a companion, therapist, or emotional support — so when its personality sh..

Gradio just leveled up. It now auto-converts plain Python functions intoMCP-compliant LLM tools, grabbing input schemas and metadata straight from docstrings. New tricks:real-time progress streaming,auto file uploads, plus tight integration withVS Code’s AI Chatfor wiring up agent workflows...

Azure just droppedMCP Center, showing off howAzure API Centercan double as a private registry forModel-Centric Protocol (MCP) servers. It’s built for internal use—think secure discovery, tight OAuth 2 auth, centralized control, and AI Gateway rules baked in. Handy when teams need to corral AI tools..

AWS dropped theCloud Control API MCP Server, a mouthful of a name for a tool that makes 1,200+ AWS resources manageable through a standard CRUDL API—using natural language. Think: describe what you want, and tools like Amazon Q Developer turn it into actual infra code. It doesn’t stop there. It val..
