I just got back from NVIDIA’s GTC event in Washington, DC (Oct 26-29), and my head is still spinning. If you’re trying to understand where the tech world is headed, this was the place to be. There weren’t a ton of flashy new product reveals, but what I saw felt even more significant. It was a masterclass in strategy, showing how NVIDIA is cementing itself not just as a chip company, but as the be…

I feel some responsibility to sound a cautionary note amid all the AI fervor, and this report has seen a share of that. But, on the occasion of this November 2025 report, I’d like to instead celebrate AI-driven programming for all it’s worth. At its best, AI brings back a feeling of excitement and fun to programming. It lifts some of the heavy grunt work off developers, so we can focus on just bu…

Recent developments in enterprise cloud computing reveal a concerning lack of attention to cloud governance, despite enterprises facing significant risks and potential losses due to outages, inefficiencies, and non-compliance. As enterprises migrate from traditional infrastructures to the cloud, they often do so without a clear strategy to mitigate risk, or they fail to set up an ecosystem that f…

AI is becoming an important learning resource for users of Django , the well-established Python web framework. The recently published State of Django 2025 report notes that 38% of Django Developers Survey respondents said they were using AI tools to educate themselves on Django. For Django development, 69% reported using ChatGPT , while 34% said they were using GitHub Copilot , 15% using Anthropi…

Malicious code continues to be uploaded to open source repositories, making it a challenge for responsible developers to trust what’s there, and for CISOs to trust applications that include open source code. The latest example comes from researchers at Datadog Security, who said that last month they found 17 packages (23 releases) in the npm repository that contained downloader malware for Window…

Relief could be on the way for enterprises facing shortages of GPUs to run their AI workloads, or unable to afford the electricity to power them: Google will add Ironwood, a faster, more energy-efficient version of its Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), to its cloud computing offering in the coming weeks. Analysts expect Ironwood to offer price-performance similar to GPUs from AMD and Nvidia , running…

Tabnine has launched the Tabnine Agentic Platform for AI-assisted software development with coding agents. The platform enables enterprise software development teams to ship faster while maintaining control over code and context, the company said. With Tabnine Agentic, introduced November 5, developers get autonomous coding partners that complete workflows, not just code suggestions or completion…

Perplexity AI has released an open-source software tool that solves two expensive problems for enterprises running AI systems: being locked into a single cloud provider and the need to buy the latest hardware to run massive models. The tool, called TransferEngine, enables large language models to communicate across different cloud providers’ hardware at full speed. Companies can now run trillion-…

A critical remote-code execution (RCE) flaw in the widely used @react-native-community/cli (and its server API) lets attackers run arbitrary OS commands via the Metro development server, the default JavaScript bundler for React Native. In essence, launching the development server through standard commands (eg, npm start or npx react-native start) could expose the machine to external attackers, be…

Google Cloud has updated its Vertex AI Agent Builder with new observability dashboards, faster build-and-deploy tools, and stronger governance controls, aiming to make it easier for developers to move AI agents from prototype to production at scale. The update adds an observability dashboard within the Agent Engine runtime to track token usage, latency, and error rates, along with a new evaluatio…

Databricks is expanding the evaluation capabilities of its Agent Bricks interface with three new features that are expected to help enterprises improve the accuracy and reliability of AI agents. Agent Bricks , released in beta in June, is a generative AI-driven automated interface that streamlines agent development for enterprises and combines technologies developed by MosaicML, including TAO , t…

If you look at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation landscape it might seem cloud developers are a lucky bunch. There seems to be an existing tool for literally every part of the software development life cycle. This means that developers can focus on what they want (i.e., creating features) while everything else (e.g., continuous integration and deployment ) is already in place. Right? Not so f…

Microsoft’s Aspire development framework has dropped .NET from its name and moved to a new website , as it is now becoming a general-purpose environment for building, testing, and deploying scalable cross-cloud applications . Aspire has already proven to be a powerful tool for quickly creating cloud-native C# code. Is it ready to support other pieces of the modern development stack? I’ve looked a…

Mozilla.ai, a company backed by the Mozilla Foundation, has released any-llm v1.0, an open-source Python library that provides a single interface to communicate with different large language model (LLM) providers. any-llm 1.0 was released November 4 and is available on GitHub . With any-llm, developers can use any model, cloud or local, without rewriting a stack every time. This means less boiler…

When I first started working with multi-agent collaboration (MAC) systems, they felt like something out of science fiction. It’s a group of autonomous digital entities that negotiate, share context, and solve problems together. Over the past year, MAC has begun to take practical shape, with applications in multiple real-world problems, including climate-adaptive agriculture, supply chain manageme…
