Configuration drift refers to the disparity between configurations as coded in repositories like Git and what’s actively deployed. Despite embracing continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) methodologies, modern software organizations still grapple with this disparity, which not only complicates deployments but can also jeopardize the stability of production environments. For example, imagine a scenario where a Continuous Deployment (CD) pipeline deploys an application to a...

Nano Banana 2.1 from Google is now available on AI Gateway. It improves image generation and editing over earlier Nano Banana models. This release targets product recontextualization, mask- and ink-based editing, and factuality. Product recontextualization places an existing product in a new scene. Mask- and ink-based edits change only the region marked by a mask or by strokes drawn on the image. Factuality is how accurately images depict real-world subjects. The model renders photorealistic...

Mistral Large 4 is now available on AI Gateway. The open-weight, natively multimodal model combines reasoning with text and image understanding. It is useful for cyber defense, manufacturing, and finance workflows. You can access the model through AI Gateway with one API key, without creating a separate Mistral account. Use Mistral Large 4 (mistral/mistral-large-4 ) with the AI SDK, OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API, Responses API, or Anthropic Messages API. You can also select it in a...

Hi, Spring fans! It's another exciting week in the wonderful community, and this week I'm writing from awesome Antwerp, Belgium, site of the legendary Devoxx Belgium show. I've been coming here for most years since 2010, and the show is simultaneously new and exciting every year, while also structurally familiar and wonderful. It's awesome to be back. This time around, I'll be talking about Spring Security and Spring Boot 4.x. We've got a lot to get into this week so let's do! Spring AI lead...

The "old" version of Cowork runs model inference in the cloud, executing tool calls in an Anthropic-provided VM we shipped to your computer. We added the VM for capability, safety, and security reasons - mapping in just the data you explicitly added to your session. People loved what they were able to do with Claude but didn't love the disk, battery, and performance cost of running the VM locally. Also, people didn't love that closing your laptop means the work stops. The "new" version of...

The world of performance analysis is littered with flawed claims, cognitive biases, dangerous intuitions, and beguiling fallacies. Sadly…

BCN now runs on three front ends, a new Primate landing page, animated mastheads, and a backend that is finally becoming the stream aggregator it was meant to be.

September gave us plenty to talk about, with major releases and thought-provoking reads. Java 27 arrived, and JetBrains opened a new chapter in agentic development with the announcement of JetBrains Air, a system of products for agentic software development, followed by the EAP of JetBrains Air in IDEs. Marit van Dijk kicks off this edition […]

Today we’re rolling out two bug-fix updates for the 2026.1 and 2026.2 TeamCity On-Premises versions. Similarly to the previous updates, these focus heavily on security issues, addressing over 40 vulnerabilities combined. Additionally, these updates ship a few fixes for regular bugs and performance problems, including: Because these updates contain a significant number of security fixes, we […]

Alex Martsinovich argues that agentic coding causes four unavoidable harms - slop, alienation, deskilling, and team breakdown — but these aren't technological inevitabilities, they're the results of specific choices about how to use AI coding tools.

Nolan Lawson explores why developers often build custom solutions instead of using native APIs, largely looking at JavaScript, but it's something that shows up in most languages and environments, for good reason.

Starting with IntelliJ IDEA 2026.3 and Android Studio Rabbit 2 | 2026.2.2, we’re discontinuing Swift language IDE features in the Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) plugin. This includes editing, syntax highlighting, and navigation within Swift files and between Swift and Kotlin. Running iOS applications and debugging Kotlin code on iOS will remain fully supported. Kotlin/Native functionality, such […]
