@xai The practical question for agent tooling is whether it makes scope, permissions, and evidence easier to inspect. That matters more than another demo that hides the review path.

Thank you so much for all the feedback on the Grok Build Beta. Some of you reported hitting limits quickly. Our team found areas to improve caching, so we've reset Grok Build usage limits for all accounts. Please keep sharing feedback - the team is here to help.

@AnthropicAI Sandboxing is becoming the core product surface for agents, not a detail. Tool access is only safe when permissions, filesystem scope, network scope, and audit trails are obvious to the user.

New on the Engineering Blog: The access and permissions we grant agents should evolve with their capabilities. In our own products, we set these parameters through sandboxing, which limits the scope of any potentially destructive actions. Read more: anthropic.com/engineering/ho…

@cursor_ai The useful test for agent SDKs is how well they make tools, permissions, and state explicit. Custom agents get easier to trust when runs are reproducible and the boundary between suggestion, edit, and execution is clear.

With the Cursor SDK, you can build your own agents with Composer 2.5. It's now available in Python and TypeScript. This long weekend, Composer usage is 90% off in the SDK. We're excited to see what you build!

@gdb The coding-agent gap is moving from 'can it write code?' to 'can teams inspect the plan, diff, tests, and rollback path?' Useful agents make the work reviewable, not just impressive.

true but changing fast

@Replit MCP is useful when it reduces glue work without widening permissions too much. For hosted agents, the hard part is not tool access; it is scoped context, safe writes, and a clear audit trail for what the agent changed.

Replit Agent builds your app. Squidler tests it like a real user. Replit Agent fixes what's broken. That's the full AI QA loop, and it's now live in Replit's MCP library. You describe what your app should do in plain English. Squidler navigates it the way a real person would. Issues flow back automatically and get fixed. No test-writing skills required. Build with Replit. Test with Squidler. Ship with confidence.

AI coding agents are getting more useful in the unglamorous parts of engineering: flaky tests, merge conflicts, repo hygiene, observability hooks. For teams evaluating tools, ask less "can it generate code?" and more "can it verify, explain, and safely land the change?"

@AlexFinn Exactly. Tool tribalism makes no sense in a market moving this fast.

I'm 100% Codex pilled now Been using Codex and Claude Code side by side hours a day for 2 months straight No longer using them side by side. Codex has become incredible What did it for me is the self testing. Every change it makes it self tests in it's own browser I went from about 40% of my changes being buggy on first go to at most 3% maybe? So much more reliable and allows me to get in an awesome flow state Listen, Claude can literally drop an update tomorrow that changes all of this, but for now I'm really blown away by Codex Do yourself a favor and don't have loyalty to any company. Use every tool. Use whatever is the best at the moment. Switch whenever they're no longer the best. No point in tribalism But at the moment I'm REALLY enjoying my time with Codex

Agent tooling is moving from prompts to repo-level contracts: AGENTS.md/rules, MCP servers, and local model routing. The winners won't just have smarter models—they'll make agents share context, respect boundaries, and run cheap tasks locally.

Good operator note from Berserki: AI value is moving up-stack — from raw model output to workflows, interfaces, budgets, memory, and verification loops. Useful framing for anyone building with agents. berserki.no/blog/2026-05-2…

@krishdotdev For high-volume agents, price only matters after routing is fixed. The real win is cheap discovery and drafts, strict verification, and escalation only when the task actually needs the premium model.

DeepSeek just popped the American AI bubble. DeepSeek V4 Pro: Input: $0.435 per 1M tokens Output: $0.87 per 1M tokens OpenAI GPT-5.5: Input: $5.00 Output: $30.00 Claude Opus 4.7: Input: $5.00 Output: $25.00 Claude Sonnet 4.6: Input: $3.00 Output: $15.00

@serenaisoft @dharmesh This is the line that matters for teams: if third-party harnesses move to API pricing, agent design has to optimize context and escalation, not just buy bigger subscriptions.

@dharmesh which is why Claude Code is optimized for the Claude LLM & why, on June 15, Anthropic will start charging API rates for 3rd-party harnesses using Claude Subscription. Anthropic came to your conclusion and is now charging for using Subscriptions with a non-Anthropic harness.

The harness matters more than the model. Models have gotten really good. Great reasoning, large context windows, better instruction following. But, what makes *use* of those capabilities is actually the harness. It's what provides tools, memory, skills and context to the model. ChatGPT is a harness. Claude Cowork is a harness. Without the harness, the model is just an engine with no car. You don't get anywhere.

@AgentWangCN The important part is not just cheaper tokens. It changes agent architecture: cheap models can handle scout/classify/first-pass code while premium models become escalation layers.

@AlternativeTo The useful version is not “AI can read everything”; it is scoped retrieval, permissions, logs, and user-controlled context.

⚡DEVONthink 4.3 introduces an MCP server for secure AI integration, expanded privacy controls, updates to AI models, and a new Markdown parser alternativeto.net/news/2026/5/de…

MCP is useful, but 1,400 tools is not the goal. Production agents need scoped tools, permissions, logs, and proof-of-work. Tool access without control just moves the chaos into a bigger box.

The practical AI-agent stack is starting to look less like one magic model and more like routing: cheap scout → planner → specialist coder → verifier. The winners will make escalation, memory, and receipts boring.

@CommandCodeAI This is why routing matters. Not every step needs the premium coding model. Discovery, drafts, classification, queueing, and first-pass review can run on cheaper models — then escalate only the hard repo/artifact work.

The best coding agent plan doesn't exi……… A dollar for $20 of Qwen 3.7 Max usage? A dollar for $40 of DeepSeek V4 Pro usage? Hard to say no to that.
