This blog post focuses on new features and improvements. For a comprehensive list, including bug fixes, please see the release notes. Building Production-Ready Agentic AI at Scale Agentic AI systems are moving from research prototypes to production workloads. These systems don’t just generate responses. They reason over multi-step tasks, call external tools, interact with APIs, and execute long-running workflows autonomously. But production agentic AI requires more than powerful models. It requires infrastructure that can deploy agents reliably, manage the tools they depend on, handle state across complex workflows, and scale across cloud, on-prem, or hybrid environments without vendor lock-in.

The AI race is accelerating as OpenAI and Anthropic release major updates to their flagship models, targeting not just coding, but a full spectrum of knowledge work. OpenAI’s GPT‑5.3-Codex positions itself as more than a coding assistant. While maintaining state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like SWE‑Bench Pro and Terminal‑Bench 2.0, the model is designed to handle complex, long-running tasks across the software lifecycle, including debugging, deploying, monitoring, writing PRDs, editing copy, and conducting user research. According to OpenAI, GPT‑5.3-Codex can now autonomously build games and web apps, iterating over millions of tokens while providing frequent updates to keep human collaborators in…

Systems rivaling most human expertise could arrive soon.While experts know transformative change is coming fast, normies are about to be blindsided. To stick with the pandemic-era metaphor, Tom Hanks is about to get sick.Between Shumer’s essay and the resignation of Mrinank Sharma —…

Capgemini tops revenue expectations and sees increasing AI bookings. That feels like progress, but the real test is whether AI demand holds when novelty wears off.
