no one is mentioning DJI? they are also crushing go pro with DJI Osmo lineup, action or nano.


Agreed.this paper studied 33k+ agent-authored PRs on GitHub (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.15195)

#1 rejection reason: missing context. 80% needed human fixes. Agents can write code fine. They just don't know what "done" looks like in your codebase.

Count successful merges into repos with real history instead of LOC and the hard part is specification, not execution.

Wrote about this topic @ https://www.augmentcode.com/blog/the-end-of-linear-work


what if you move from reviewing the code to reviewing the spec?


That’s like asking why don’t we switch from reviewing PRs to reviewing jira tickets.

There’s probably a world where you could do that if the spec was written in a formal language with no ambiguity and there was a rigorous system for translating from spec to code sure.


Hm, that's an interesting concept. What if we were able to create an unambiguous, rigorous specification language for creating prompts so that we could get consistent and predictable output from AI? Maybe we could call it a "prompt programming language" or something


That exists, it's called code.


At Augment' we've been working on this. Multi agents orchestration, spec driven, different models for different tasks, etc.

https://www.augmentcode.com/product/intent

can use the code AUGGIE to skip the queue. Bring your own agent (powered by codex, CC, etc) coming to it next week.


At augment code we specifically build our code review tool to find noise to signal ratio problem. In benchmark our comments are 2 to 3x more likely to get fixed compared to bugbot coderabbit etc

You should check it at Augmentcode.com


Blacksmith.sh acquisition in 3, 2, 1 ...

Then Cursor takes on GitHub for the control of the repo.


As a Graphite employee, would love this tbh - we love Blacksmith!


is this a mishap/ leak? dont see the model yet


At augmentcode.com, we've been evaluating Haiku for some time, it's actually a very good model. We found out it's 90% as good as Sonnet and is ~34% faster than sonnet!

Where it doesn't shine much is on very large coding task. but it is a phenomenal model for small coding tasks and the speed improvement is much welcome


90% as good as Sonnet 4 or 4.5? Openrouter just started reporting, and it's saying Haiku is 2x as fast (60tps vs 125tps) and 2-3x less latent (2-3s vs 1s)


Do you have a definition of what is considered a small vs large coding task?


Fivetran acquired Census (reverse-etl) & Tobiko (dbt alternative).

I wonder who's next to really consolidate their platform play and compete with the old legacy MDM provider like Informatica. Data Observability or Catalog like Monte Carlo and Atlan. The whole Modern Data Stack has either died, acquired or merged by now. Wonder what's missing for Fivetran to IPO too.

I also wonder what this merge means for Airbyte who raised 150m at 1.5b in 2023.


Observability is a good guess, but I'd venture to guess that the conversations going on internally are about how to capture value across the entire stack. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about them acquiring either a database/warehouse company and/or an analytics solution. Or vice versa, them getting acquired by a bigger player that wants to offer more connectors and data modeling functionality.


This is what we do at Augmentcode.com.

We started with building the best code retrieval and build an agent around it.
