Microsoft Debuts MAI-Thinking-1, Its First In-House Reasoning Model
For most of the generative AI era, Microsoft has been the most prominent buyer of someone else’s intelligence. Its Copilot stack runs on OpenAI’s GPT models. Azure customers reach for frontier reasoning through the partnership. The arrangement has worked, and it has also been a structural dependency that the company has spent the last year […]
Don’t Believe the Hype: AI Capabilities May Not Create Real-World Value
Kevin Scott always has something to say on the eve of Microsoft Build. The company’s chief technology officer shares his read on where technology is headed, typically in step with whatever the company is about to announce. This year, I joined executives, developers, and my fellow journalists in a downtown San Francisco bar as Scott […]
AWS Is Trying to Make Kiro the Most Trustworthy AI Coding Tool in the Room
In software development, the costliest mistake rarely lives in the code. It lives in the requirements that came before it. Typically, the issue arose because a developer interpreted the specs differently from the author—and that’s human-to-human. Imagine how much more challenging this can be when vibe-coding. That’s why Amazon Web Services (AWS) is updating its […]
Claude Users Say Tokens Are Disappearing Too Fast. Anthropic Isn’t Saying Much.
The more I think about it, the more I see rate-limit toggling by Anthropic and its peers as similar to the era before unlimited talk, text, and data on our smartphones. Back then, we scrambled to tell people to contact us outside peak hours so we wouldn’t use all of our allotted monthly minutes. This […]
AWS Launches Kiro Students to Give College Developers Free Access to Its AI Coding Tool
Amazon Web Services is aiming to make AI-powered software development easier for early-stage developers. On Wednesday, it debuted Kiro Students, a new plan giving college students free one-year access to Kiro, AWS’s vibe coding tool. However, there is a catch: it comes with a 1,000 monthly credit limit and will initially be available only to […]
Vibe Coding ClawBeat: How AI Helped Me Launch My First Real App
They say that “the first step is always the hardest.” It’s the thought that tends to surface whenever I begin something new—photography, writing, or a skill I’m not sure I’m ready to learn. The hesitation is real. But after taking the leap, the floodgates open, and chances are you might find your next passion. Take […]
Claude Code Becomes the Engine Behind ServiceNow’s Vibe Coding Agent
ServiceNow is upgrading its Build Agent, shifting the coding assistant to run by default on Anthropic’s Claude Code instead of the general-purpose Claude model. This change gives users access to a language model purpose-built for software development, better suited to handling coding tasks and application logic when building production-grade apps and agents. This move is […]
Ai2 Challenges the Status Quo in Coding Agents with SERA, an Open-Source Model Built for Specialization and Scale
Coding agents are everywhere. What was once a handful of experimental tools has become a crowded field spanning GitHub (Copilot), OpenAI (Codex), Google (Jules), Anthropic (Claude Code), AWS (Kiro), Vercel (v0), Salesforce (Agentforce Vibes), and a growing roster of startups, each promising to change how software gets written. Now, nonprofit AI lab Ai2 is entering […]
Vibe Coding Is Here to Stay, but Human Oversight Remains Critical
The tech industry embraced vibe coding in 2025, as software development became one example of how artificial intelligence can disrupt professions. Instead of traditional line-by-line hand coding, developers can now instruct a bot to code an application through an intent-driven prompt. Vibe coding startups like Lovable have attracted tremendous investor interest, reaching unicorn status in […]
