The Age of Async Agents — Cognition's Walden Yan & OpenInspect's Cole Murray
Latent Space5d agoCommentaryLatent Space interviews Cognition's Walden Yan and OpenInspect's Cole Murray on the rise of async coding agents. The discussion centers on Devin-related workflows, including 80% Devin commits, spec-to-PR development, full VMs, agent memory, and PMs shipping code. The key theme is not a model release, but a shift toward agents that can work asynchronously inside more complete software delivery loops.
ITBench-AA: Frontier Models Score Below 50% on Enterprise IT Tasks★ 72
Hugging Face Blog6d agoBenchmarkArtificial Analysis and IBM present ITBench-AA, described in the title as the first benchmark for agentic enterprise IT tasks. The headline result is that frontier models score below 50%, suggesting current systems still struggle with enterprise-grade agent workflows. The original article text is unavailable here, so task design, evaluated models, scoring methodology, and rankings cannot be confirmed.
Some ideas for what comes next, May 2026
Interconnects (Nathan L.)7d agoCommentaryNathan Lambert argues that 2026 AI progress is becoming higher-stakes, with model capabilities, work patterns, economics, and real-world risks all escalating. He says open models still lack a true Claude Code and Opus 4.5-style agent moment, and Gemini has no clear competitor to Claude Code or Codex yet. The essay also tracks Mythos, American open-model momentum, frontier-lab competition, and mounting intervention from governments and other power structures.
