Notes from the trenches on AI engineering, LLM apps, and the full-stack work that holds it all together.
Google DeepMind shipped Gemini Omni Flash at I/O 2026. It turns text, images, audio, and video into short clips you can reshape through conversation. Here's what actually matters if you build with generative media.
Spec Kit turns vibe coding into Spec-Driven Development: constitution, specify, clarify, plan, tasks, implement. Here's the workflow, why it spread so fast, and when I'd actually use it.
Antigravity 2.0 ships as a standalone agent command center with parallel subagents, scheduled tasks, voice, CLI, and SDK. Here's what changed from the IDE era and how I'd actually use it.
A May 2026 study on LongMemEval found inline grep often beat vector retrieval across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and a custom harness. Here's what that means before you buy another vector database.
LLMs shred CSVs. TabFM, KumoRFM, TabPFN, and TabICL treat tables like foundation models treat text: in-context learning, no per-dataset training. Here's the dual-stack playbook I use for discovery vs production.
July 2026 Managed Agents updates add per-agent effort levels, session seeding with up to 50 initial events, environment and memory-store webhooks, and sub-agent thread streaming. Skills still cap at 500 per session across all agents.
Anthropic shipped the Claude Security plugin for Claude Code in beta: multi-agent scans in your terminal, verified findings, and patches you apply yourself. It stacks with the security-guidance hook that flags eval and innerHTML as you type.
Cursor Router routes each coding request to the right model with Intelligence, Balance, and Cost modes. Early enterprise traffic saved 30-50% versus Opus 4.8 defaults with no quality drop.
