Software factories and the agentic moment

💬 HackerNews Buzz: 154 comments 🐝 BUZZING
🎯 AI-powered software development • Challenges of AI-generated code • Importance of human oversight
💬 "The era of bespoke consultants for SaaS product suites to handle configuration and integrations, while not gone, are certainly under threat by LLMs""The solution to this problem is not throwing everything at AI. To get good results from any AI model, you need an architect (human) instructing it from the top."

Claude Code's GitHub commit market share

+++ Anthropic's AI assistant has crossed into territory once dismissed as sci-fi speculation. The math is straightforward: if current trajectory holds, AI authorship moves from novelty to majority within 18 months, making Dario Amodei's "crazy" prediction from last year look prescient rather than provocative. +++

Analysis: Claude Code currently authors 4% of all public GitHub commits and is on track to cross 20% of all daily commits by the end of 2026

💬 Reddit Discussion: 37 comments 🐐 GOATED ENERGY
🎯 Context size scaling • Model compression • Practical application
💬 "The fact that 10x context only costs ~30% decode speed is the real headline here.""Waiting for the 4-bit quant to see how this runs on a 4090 with 1M context, that would be a game changer for local RAG pipelines."

[R] How should we govern AI agents that can act autonomously? Built a framework, looking for input

"As agents move from chatbots to systems that execute code, and coordinate with other agents, the governance gap is real. We have alignment research for models, but almost nothing for operational controls at the instance level, you know, the runtime boundaries, kill switches, audit trails, and certif..."

[P] How do you regression-test ML systems when correctness is fuzzy? (OSS tool)

"I’ve repeatedly run into the same issue when working with ML / NLP systems (and more recently LLM-based ones): there often isn’t a single *correct* answer - only better or worse behavior - and small changes can have non-local effects across the system. Traditional testing approaches (assertions, s..."

KV-CoRE: Benchmarking Data-Dependent Low-Rank Compressibility of KV-Caches in LLMs

"Large language models rely on kv-caches to avoid redundant computation during autoregressive decoding, but as context length grows, reading and writing the cache can quickly saturate GPU memory bandwidth. Recent work has explored KV-cache compression, yet most approaches neglect the data-dependent n..."

I tested 11 small LLMs on tool-calling judgment — on CPU, no GPU.

"Friday night experiment that got out of hand. I wanted to know: how small can a model be and still reliably do tool-calling on a laptop CPU? So I benchmarked 11 models (0.5B to 3.8B) across 12 prompts. No GPU, no cloud API. Just Ollama and bitnet.cpp. **The models:** Qwen 2.5 (0.5B, 1.5B, 3B), LLa..."

Prompt injection is killing our self-hosted LLM deployment
