For years, coding benchmarks mostly measured one thing: could a model write a function that passed the unit tests? While that was useful, it doesn’t reflect the reality of software engineering. Modern agentic coding benchmarks evaluate whether AI agents can work inside real repositories, edit existing code, run tests and other commands, debug failures, and…

Vibe coding has become one of those phrases that people either love or hate. Some use it to describe the future of software development. Others use it as shorthand for careless AI-generated code. So instead of asking whether vibe coding is “good” or “bad,” the better question is: where does it actually work, and where…

Google has introduced the Gemini 3.7 Flash large language model (LLM), a new version of its Flash series that the company describes as its most capable “workhorse” model yet for coding and AI agents. The model arrives just three weeks after Gemini 3.6 Flash and is designed to improve software engineering, web development, and other…

For a while now, software engineering has undergone a profound, fundamental shift: Where we once wrote most lines of code by hand, we now ask AI coding assistants and agents to generate large swaths of code for us. But AI needs supervision, so it is we, the humans, who must read the generated code, clean…

AI coding tools deliver immense value: at Databricks, agentic coding has measurably improved every velocity metric we track and, in some teams, driven an order-of-magnitude gains in output. But nearly every company deploying AI tools at scale has hit the same wall: exponentially growing costs. That curve is unsustainable – left unchecked it will eventually…
