What happens when you pit Google Gemini against Anthropic Claude in a "red team/blue team" duel to fact-check AI research, or peek inside an LLM’s subconscious "Jacobian Space"? In this episode of Agents of Dev, Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin explore the rapidly evolving landscape of AI engineering and how modern tools are turning everyone into a builder. They cover IBM’s multi-agent IDE update ("Bob"), AWS OpenSearch’s jump into real-time observability, and Anthropic’s groundbreaking research into model introspection. Plus, they dive into the "Drop" segment to discuss practical developer breakthroughs like Accordion for smart agent memory compaction, Cactus for ultra-fast micro-model function calling, Herder for terminal-based agent management, and Prefect's acquisition of Dagster Labs. This and more on Agents of Dev, part of The Futurum Group Podcast Network.
