If AI Coding Could Replace Software Engineers, Why Are AI Companies Selling It?

In this article, you'll learn how to use the Claude API in Python, make your first request, and handle responses with the official SDK.

A potential deal with the government would allow international tech companies to mine the creative work of Australian musicians. Some of the prime minister’s favourite artists told the Guardian how they feel about it Creatives sound alarm on copyright as Pocock calls $50bn datacentre proposal ‘ultimate dirty deal’ Big tech companies are asking for Australian copyright laws to be watered down, to allow them to scrape Australian output – including journalism, music and books – in order to improve their AI models. Guardian Australia this week reported on an industry proposal under which companies would commit more than $50bn in investment in datacentres and set up a $350m fund to compensate creatives in exchange for weaker copyright laws. Senator David Pocock has described it as the “ultimate dirty deal”. The Albanese government has insisted it has no plans to weaken copyright protections, after ruling out the potential text and data mining exemption last year – but creatives are so

Alibaba's Page Agent runs as client-side JavaScript inside the webpage. It reads the live DOM as text, then clicks and types from natural-language commands. No screenshots, no multimodal model, and no backend rewrite are required.

As AI moves from model development to production inference, compute demand is accelerating and shifting toward continuously operating AI factories that generate tokens at scale. This shift requires access to large‑scale, multi‑tenant accelerated computing that can come online quickly, stay highly utilized and support the economics of token‑scale AI services.  Emerging AI companies historically have […]

Microsoft has announced a release candidate (RC) of TypeScript 7.0. A port of JavaScript-based TypeScript that is based on the Go language, TypeScript 7.0 is often about 10 times faster than TypeScript 6.0, Microsoft said, thanks to native code speed and shared memory parallelism. Developers can get the new compiler by installing it from the typescript package on npm: npm install -D typescript@rc Unlike TypeScript 6.0, TypeScript 7.0 performs many steps in parallel, including parsing, type checking, and emitting, Microsoft said. Some of these steps, such as parsing and emitting, can mostly be done independently across files. For that reason, parallelization automatically scales well with larger codebases with relatively little overhead. However, not every step in a TypeScript build is easily parallelizable, Microsoft said. With TypeScript 7.0 RC now available, Microsoft plans to release TypeScript 7.0 within the next month. The company said it will focus on release coordination and
