Google has officially shifted the Gemini era into high gear with the release of Gemini 3.1 Pro, the first version update in the Gemini 3 series. This release is not just a minor patch; it is a targeted strike at the ‘agentic’ AI market, focusing on reasoning stability, software engineering, and tool-use reliability. For devs,…
In this tutorial, we build a glass-box agentic workflow that makes every decision traceable, auditable, and explicitly governed by human approval. We design the system to log each thought, action, and observation into a tamper-evident audit ledger while enforcing dynamic permissioning for high-risk operations. By combining LangGraph’s interrupt-driven human-in-the-loop control with a hash-chained database, we…
Cohere AI Labs has released Tiny Aya, a family of small language models (SLMs) that redefines multilingual performance. While many models scale by increasing parameters, Tiny Aya uses a 3.35B-parameter architecture to deliver state-of-the-art translation and generation across 70 languages. The release includes 5 models: Tiny Aya Base (pretrained), Tiny Aya Global (balanced instruction-tuned), and…
Google is moving beyond the rectangular screen. For over 10 years, Google designers have explored how to build interfaces for transparent displays. The result is Jetpack Compose Glimmer, a design system built specifically for display AI glasses. For devs and data scientists, this is a shift from designing for pixels to designing with light. The…
Anthropic is officially entering its ‘Thinking’ era. Today, the company announced Claude 4.6 Sonnet, a model designed to transform how devs and data scientists handle complex logic. Alongside this release comes Improved Web Search with Dynamic Filtering, a feature that uses internal code execution to verify facts in real-time. https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-sonnet-4-6 Adaptive Thinking: A New Logic…
Cloudflare has released the Agents SDK v0.5.0 to address the limitations of stateless serverless functions in AI development. In standard serverless architectures, every LLM call requires rebuilding the session context from scratch, which increases latency and token consumption. The Agents SDK’s latest version (Agents SDK v0.5.0) provides a vertically integrated execution layer where compute, state,…
Building AI agents is the new gold rush. But every developer knows the biggest bottleneck: getting the AI to actually communicate to your data. Today, travel giant Agoda is tackling this problem head-on. They have officially launched APIAgent, an open-source tool designed to turn any REST or GraphQL API into a Model Context Protocol (MCP)…
In this tutorial, we build a human-in-the-loop travel booking agent that treats the user as a teammate rather than a passive observer. We design the system so the agent first reasons openly by drafting a structured travel plan, then deliberately pauses before taking any action. We expose this proposed plan in a live interface where…
Alibaba Cloud just updated the open-source landscape. Today, the Qwen team released Qwen3.5, the newest generation of their large language model (LLM) family. The most powerful version is Qwen3.5-397B-A17B. This model is a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) system. It combines massive reasoning power with high efficiency. Qwen3.5 is a native vision-language model. It is designed specifically…
I’ve spent the last five years working in Boston’s tech scene, but my journey into AI and machine learning has taken me through Glasgow, Toronto, and roles at companies like Amazon and Best Buy. Along the way, I’ve learned something important: the most powerful AI applications usually come from solving unglamorous problems. Things like cleaning…
