http://localhost:3000 Glitch & Glow covers AI, data, dev and cloud with smart, occasionally deadpan analysis. Partly drafted by Claude, edited by humans. en Fri, 29 May 2026 05:48:15 GMT http://localhost:3000/articles/anthropic-claude-agent-sdk-mcp-momentum http://localhost:3000/articles/anthropic-claude-agent-sdk-mcp-momentum Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT MCP adoption crossed a threshold this quarter and the Claude Agent SDK quietly became the default scaffold for production agents. The model is no longer the moat — the runtime is. ai http://localhost:3000/articles/verifier-models-test-time-compute-arxiv http://localhost:3000/articles/verifier-models-test-time-compute-arxiv Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT A cluster of recent papers points the same direction: a smaller model that checks its own work beats a bigger model that doesn't. The economics of inference are quietly being rewritten. research http://localhost:3000/articles/ai-funding-shifts-from-models-to-applications http://localhost:3000/articles/ai-funding-shifts-from-models-to-applications Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT The mega-rounds are still going to foundation labs, but the velocity has moved. Vertical, workflow-native AI companies are raising faster and at saner valuations. The application layer is where 2026 is being decided. startups http://localhost:3000/articles/evals-are-the-real-bottleneck-for-production-agents http://localhost:3000/articles/evals-are-the-real-bottleneck-for-production-agents Mon, 25 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT The teams shipping agents that actually work in production share one habit, and it isn't prompt engineering. It's treating evaluation as a first-class engineering discipline with the same rigor as tests. dev http://localhost:3000/articles/small-models-on-device-economics-2026 http://localhost:3000/articles/small-models-on-device-economics-2026 Sat, 23 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Small models stopped being a compromise and started being a strategy. The economics, latency, and privacy math now favor running locally for a surprising share of real workloads. ai http://localhost:3000/articles/anthropic-claude-opus-4-7-launch http://localhost:3000/articles/anthropic-claude-opus-4-7-launch Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 with little fanfare. The benchmarks are predictable. The vibes, less so. ai http://localhost:3000/articles/postgres-18-async-io-changes-everything http://localhost:3000/articles/postgres-18-async-io-changes-everything Thu, 14 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT The most consequential database release of the year shipped without a keynote. Async I/O is now on by default and your read-heavy workloads just got 40% faster. data http://localhost:3000/articles/openai-pivot-enterprise http://localhost:3000/articles/openai-pivot-enterprise Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT OpenAI hired its third Chief Revenue Officer in 18 months. The product team is being reorganized around verticals. The plot has thickened. startups http://localhost:3000/articles/rust-async-trait-finally-stable http://localhost:3000/articles/rust-async-trait-finally-stable Sun, 10 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Eight years after the first RFC, async fn in traits is stable. The ecosystem is about to learn what the lang team has been worried about. dev http://localhost:3000/articles/edge-vs-fluid-compute-2026 http://localhost:3000/articles/edge-vs-fluid-compute-2026 Fri, 08 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT Vercel quietly stopped recommending Edge Functions. The platforms aren't telling you why. We'll explain it. cloud
