‘Frontier models are still unable to solve the majority of tasks’: The death of the software engineer may not happen as soon as you think – OpenAI researchers found AI models still lag behind humans on coding tasks
AI might not replace software engineers just yet as new research from OpenAI reveals ongoing weaknesses in the technology. Having created a benchmark dubbed ‘SWE-Lancer’ to evaluate AI’s effectiveness at completing software engineering and managerial tasks, researchers concluded that the technology is lacking. “We evaluate model performance and find that frontier models are still unable to solve the majority of…

“OpenAI continues to be our partner on frontier models”: Microsoft is open to using a range of AI models in 365 Copilot, but OpenAI remains its go-to choice
Microsoft has clarified its stance on the models that will power its 365 Copilot service after reports suggested it was considering integrating third-party alternatives to OpenAI’s model range. Speculation around the two companies’ relationship emerged after a Reuters report last month claimed Microsoft had been “working on adding internal and third-party artificial intelligence models to power its flagship AI product…

Virtual reality could be the next frontier in software development: Devs are excited about productivity and virtualization benefits — but hefty price tags and health concerns may hamper adoption
Virtual and augmented reality could be the next big trend in software development as devs warm to the use of the tools, but there are still a few key barriers blocking adoption. VR/AR tech offers programmers a more focussed work environment, with a virtualized workspace but research suggests the platform isn’t quite mature enough for widespread adoption. JetBrains’ 2024 State…
