Ex-GitHub CEO launches a GitHub rival that reinvents the pull request

Ex-GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke’s startup Entire launches a GitHub alternative that swaps pull requests for Trails, an eval-driven agentic code review system.

Researchers removed one instruction from Claude Code. Out-of-scope actions jumped.

Anthropic’s next coding model may infer developer intent. Research shows coding agents often go beyond scope, and that’s much harder to fix than it sounds.

Building an agentic software factory? Start with the sensor.

In an agentic software factory, verification is the sensor. Learn how latency, fidelity, and bandwidth define your AI delivery system.

A few engineers asked IT for Linux. Then it spread to 200 machines.
Swif.ai is expanding Linux device management so IT can say yes to developers. The pitch: AI teams get Linux, and security gets proof of control.

Why 88% of AI pilots never make it to production
It’s 3 a.m. and your AI agent keeps calling the same tool. Now what? Dedicatted's CTO unpacks the problem with TNS.

Assess the entire inference stack — not just open model benchmarks
Benchmarks show an open model at its best. Production needs it to work every time, and Nebius says the fix is the inference stack, not a bigger model.

The real platform work starts after deployment

See how HPE Software helps platform teams deliver self-service, governance, automation, and Day-2 operations at scale.

  • Developer self-service without sacrificing control

  • Policy and governance built into workflows

  • Reusable templates and blueprints

  • Unified management for K8s and VMs

Kubernetes won the orchestration wars. Its teams are still fighting.

82% of container users now run Kubernetes in production, but developers and operations teams still pull in opposite directions: one side wants to move fast, the other wants stability. In this episode, HPE Fellow David Estes tells The New Stack how hybrid and edge sprawl, AI inference workloads, and microservices “architecture bloat” are adding to the strain, and why AI automation that monitors clusters, checks logs, and predicts outages could finally ease it.

From writing tests to verifying outcomes: who tests the code your AI agents write?
AI assistants help teams ship code faster than ever, but writing tests still moves at human speed, and every redesign breaks the suite. Join us live as we talk about what changes when an agent writes the tests: exploring your app, generating tests from a plain-language prompt, and checking outcomes instead of fixed steps, so tests keep passing when workflows change.

160 admin hours a year: how AI-guided diagnostics finds root causes faster
MFT admins can lose up to 160 hours a year chasing root causes after a failed transfer. On November 19, learn how AI-guided diagnostics, anomaly detection, and automated documentation can find the likely cause faster, live, using a real failure scenario.

Teaching AI agents to search like experts
AI agents are only as good as what they retrieve. On the BrowseComp-Plus benchmark, GPT-4.1 answered 93% of questions correctly when handed the right documents, but just 15% when it had to find them with keyword search. Join us live on December 2 to see what agents need from search, and how to give it to them.

Would you trust an agent to raise the alarm?
Trusting an agent to respond to an incident is one thing. Trusting it to decide when an incident needs attention is another. In this insightful session, we walk through how that shift plays out in production and what it takes to build enough confidence to let an agent act on its own.
