Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, GPT-4… developer choice is key to GitHub Copilot, and that’s especially true when it comes to picking your frontier model of choice. But with so many frontier generative AI models now available to use with GitHub Copilot (and more coming seemingly every day), how do you pick the right one for the job—especially with the growing capabilities of Copilot Chat, edit, ask, and agent modes? In a recent video, I worked with GitHub’s Developer Advocate Kedasha Kerr (aka @ladykerr) to answer this exact question. Our goal? To build the same travel‑reservation app three different ways with Copilot ask, edit, and agent modes while swapping between …

When it comes to mastering DevOps, it’s often not the technical skills that trip us up, but rather the more critical aspects of collaboration and communication. Communication challenges, vague requirements, and missing documentation can leave us guessing on stakeholder intent. Plus, siloed workflows can cause teams to face inconsistencies in their processes, tooling, and time to delivery, as there are so many moving parts. This all works against DevOps best practices. In this blog, we will look at ways that we can enhance team productivity, reduce cognitive load, and implement a more seamless collaboration across teams and tools to improve code quality and create faster d…

Ex-Google CEO's 2026 Warning: AI Will Be Smarter & Uncontrollable

ChatGPT’s memory used to be simple. You told it what to remember, and it listened. Since 2024, ChatGPT has had a memory feature that lets users store helpful context. From your tone of voice and writing style to your goals, interests, and ongoing projects. You could go into settings to view, update, or delete these memories. Occasionally, it would note something important on its own. But largely, it remembered what you asked it to. Now, that’s changing… View the full article

Software runs the world – not just the new software applications built in modern languages and deployed on the most optimized cloud infrastructure, but also legacy software built over years and barely understood by the teams that inherit them. These legacy applications may have snowballed into monolithic blocks or may be fragmented across siloed on-premises infrastructure. The significant maintenance, security, and compliance challenges caused can create lasting implications for business performance and competitiveness. Therefore, transformation of legacy applications using modern languages, new frameworks, and cloud services has become an organizational imperative... Vie…

It’s hard to believe it’s been five years since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit. While life has gradually moved forward, its impact is still being felt in countless ways. COVID accelerated the development of many kinds of technology including artificial intelligence (AI). Once seen as novel and full of promise, AI has seen a meteoric shift – from something promising and experimental into something that is a critical driver of innovation. One sector that has reaped the benefits of this accelerated development is healthcare, where it is being used to support clinical decision-making, monitor patient outcomes, and accelerate drug discovery. So, what would a pandemic response…

Google and the Wild Dolphin Project have developed an AI model trained to understand dolphin vocalizations DolphinGemma can run directly on Pixel smartphones It will be open-sourced this summer For most of human history, our relationship with dolphins has been a one-sided conversation: we talk, they squeak, and we nod like we understand each other before tossing them a fish. But now, Google has a plan to use AI to bridge that divide. Working with Georgia Tech and the Wild Dolphin Project (WDP), Google has created DolphinGemma, a new AI model trained to understand and even generate dolphin chatter... View the full article

I’ve been an iPhone user since 2009 when I got my first iPhone 3G, and since then I’ve been a loyal customer, upgrading annually to the best smartphone Apple has to offer. When Samsung released the S25 series of smartphones earlier this year with AI at their core, I knew I had to finally give Android a proper go and see what Google’s mobile operating system was capable of. Over the next few weeks I’m going to pit my S25’s Galaxy AI features against my iPhone 16 Pro Max’s Apple Intelligence capabilities to see which smartphone has AI features worth using compared to those that are just a gimmick. When I received the S25, early last week, the first thing I decided to do was…
