agentic-coding

DeepReinforce has released Ornith-1.0, an MIT-licensed model designed for agentic coding tasks with variants ranging from 9B to 397B parameters. Built on top of Apache 2.0-licensed Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5 base models, the company claims it achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable size on coding benchmarks.

Apple released Xcode 26.5 with two new Coding Intelligence features: the ability to queue multiple messages to AI coding assistants without waiting for responses, and agent support for asking clarifying questions before executing tasks. The update builds on agentic coding capabilities introduced in Xcode 26.3, which allowed developers to integrate tools like OpenAI Codex and Anthropic's Claude directly into the IDE.
