AI coding tools are shifting to a surprising place: The terminal

techcrunch.com Russell Brandom 2025-07-27 08:30:00

For years, code-editing tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub’s Copilot have been the standard for AI-powered software development. But as agentic AI grows more powerful and vibe coding takes off, a subtle shift has changed how AI systems are interacting with software. Instead of working on code, they’re increasingly interacting directly with the shell of whatever system they’re installed in. It’s a significant change in how AI-powered software development happens — and despite the low profil

AI agent benchmarks are broken

news.ycombinator.com Daniel Kang 2025-08-01 19:06:32

Benchmarks are foundational to evaluating the strengths and limitations of AI systems, guiding both research and industry development. As AI agents move from research demos to mission-critical applications, researchers and practitioners are building benchmarks to evaluate their capabilities and limitations. These AI agent benchmarks are significantly more complex than traditional AI benchmarks in task formulation (e.g., often requiring a simulator of realistic scenarios) and evaluation (e.g., no

Former Intel CEO launches a benchmark to measure AI alignment

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-08-03 10:35:49

In Brief After former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger capped off a 40+ year career at the semiconductor giant in December, many wondered where would Gelsinger go next. On Thursday, the former Intel CEO revealed one piece of his next chapter: trying to ensure AI models support a flourishing humanity. In partnership with a “faith tech” company he first invested in roughly 10 years ago called Gloo, Gelsinger launched a new benchmark — Flourishing AI, or FAI — to test how well AI models align with certain

Slightly better named character reference tokenization than Chrome, Safari, FF

Slightly better named character reference tokenization than Chrome, Safari, and Firefox 2025-06-26 Note: I am not a 'browser engine' person, nor a 'data structures' person. I'm certain that an even better implementation than what I came up with is very possible. A while back, for no real reason, I tried writing an implementation of a data structure tailored to the specific use case of the Named character reference state of HTML tokenization (here's the link to that experiment).

Can we fix AI’s evaluation crisis?

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2025-09-01 12:50:30

However, there are a growing number of teams around the world trying to address the AI evaluation crisis. One result is a new benchmark called LiveCodeBench Pro. It draws problems from international algorithmic olympiads—competitions for elite high school and university programmers where participants solve challenging problems without external tools. The top AI models currently manage only about 53% at first pass on medium-difficulty problems and 0% on the hardest ones. These are tasks where hu

A Chinese firm has just launched a constantly changing set of AI benchmarks

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2025-09-02 21:46:28

Development of the benchmark at HongShan began in 2022, following ChatGPT’s breakout success, as an internal tool for assessing which models are worth investing in. Since then, led by partner Gong Yuan, the team has steadily expanded the system, bringing in outside researchers and professionals to help refine it. As the project grew more sophisticated, they decided to release it to the public. Xbench approached the problem with two different systems. One is similar to traditional benchmarking:

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Review: Great Value Gaming

wired.com Brad Bourque 2025-09-05 10:03:00

It's AMD's turn. After months of $2,000+ GPUs and long discussions of DLSS, we're finally on the red team's turf. AMD's strength historically lies at the budget end of the spectrum, where the majority of gamers are playing at 1080p, and spending $1,000 or less for their entire system. Even though we really recommend splurging on a GPU, that's just not the reality for most folks. An $800 GPU needs $1,200 in other parts, and at that point most people who aren't into PC gaming will start shopping

Something to look forward to: A mysterious "Nvidia N1x" Arm processor recently appeared on Geekbench with a single-core score of 3,096 and an 18,837 multi-core score. The result provides some of the earliest concrete evidence of Nvidia's long-rumored upcoming SoC. Word is that Nvidia has been developing an Arm-based processor for the past few years. Despite a teaser released last year in collaboration with Dell and the January unveiling of Nvidia's Arm workstation, a consumer-level product has
