The AI coding fight just moved from the model to the harness

The most expensive part of AI coding is no longer the model. It is the software wrapped around it, and enterprises have started to notice. The immediate fight is over price. Cursor, the AI coding tool SpaceX has agreed to buy for $60bn, moved most customers to usage-based billing last year. The renewal bills are […]

China’s free AI models may not stay free, Goldman says

For a year, the story of Chinese AI has been simple. It is nearly as good as the American frontier, and it is effectively free. That second part may be about to change.

AI writes half our code now. It still fails security tests 44% of the time.

AI can now write compilable code almost every time it tries. It still ships a security hole in nearly half of it, and that has not changed in a year. That is the headline finding of Veracode’s 2026 GenAI Code Security Report, which tested more than 100 models across four snapshots. The average security pass […]
