It all started with some exasperated emails. Back in 2009, a group of researchers began venting their frustration with the programming languages designed to help scientists and other researchers perform complex mathematical operations and statistical simulations without learning how to code. These programming languages were rigid and slow. If scientists built something that really worked,

OpenAI has released a new field report tracking eight scientific computing projects where coding agents cut runtimes. The report documents projects that used Codex on its own in five cases and a combination of Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code in three others. Worth flagging upfront: this is a vendor publishing a survey of its own

In today’s world, artificial intelligence chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude can perform many functions, such as composing work emails and planning travel itineraries. These chatbots are systems built around large vision-language models (VLMs): AI trained on a massive dataset that includes books, websites, code, and images. The AI algorithms are then refined on massive amounts

In 2026, the hype for artificial intelligence agents is louder than ever before. These semi-autonomous programs can “think” and execute well-defined tasks in areas like customer service and software development, typically using language models (LMs). But fields like medical diagnosis and scientific discovery require them to inquire about a vast range of solutions in uncertain

Mozilla developer Peter Wilson has taken to the Mozilla.ai blog to announce cq, which he describes as “Stack Overflow for agents.” The nascent project hints at something genuinely useful, but it will have to address security, data poisoning, and accuracy to achieve significant adoption. It’s meant to solve a couple of problems. First, coding agents
