This morning we launched Agent Learning Services and Agent Data Services. Right now, builders at Day 0 of the Open Intelligence Summit are hands-on with open models and DigitalOcean’s agentic stack, with @SwiftAlphaOne and the @MLHacks crew leading the way. It’s the best part of open intelligence: builders choosing their own models and tools, and owning what they make. The summit keynote streams tomorrow at 1 PM PT. do.co/4hRVUs9
Catch it at the first user, not the four-hundredth. A new user’s bank link fails, the agent says “try again later,” and nothing shows up in the logs. Watch a team find the bug and fix it before anyone else hits it, with Agent Learning Services and Agent Data Services, launching today.

"Agents are effectively running a DoS attack on code reviews" 😅 Feel that one. Some great insights from @ashtom for hackers at #HackGT who are about to write more code in a weekend than I used to in a month. – at Georgia, USA

Love that DHH spent a decade saying that writing tests in English via Cucumber was a delusional waste of time only to announce at Rails World that he prefers "coding in English" Somewhere, a 2012 Given / When / Then step definition is gently weeping. youtube.com/watch?v=vDjW_dRy…

Today we are rolling out "import from GitHub" in @GoogleAIStudio Build!! We will automagically take the repo and transform it into a format that is compatible with our runtime and then let you keep iterating on it in AI Studio, deploy it, and more.

1 in 10 MLH community members have already founded a startup. That's double last year. The highest in 7 years. 🚀 The AI-era founder boom is real and it's starting earlier than ever.

Free AI code reviews for OSS projects backed by Gemini? Yes, please! Read about how to get started in this @GoogleAI DEV community post from @nnennahacks and @DanaFine7.
Open-source is strained right now and one of the problems is code review bandwidth. So @DanaFine7 and I partnered with @GoogleAI on how maintainers can use free AI code reviews to keep up with AI-accelerated contribution velocity. With @QodoAI wired into PRs, you get: - Structured findings (bugs, rule violations, gaps, suggestions) - Cross-file, context-aware analysis - Copy/paste agent fix prompts for Claude Code + @GeminiApp Code Assist to get your PRs merge-ready. If you run or contribute to an OSS repo on @github, you can turn this on today at no cost. 🙏🏽 dev.to/googleai/superchargin…

Residencies are a thing now. We’ve proven they work. Because of our success at HF0, a bunch of people are now calling things they run residencies. But they’re not. That’s why we are announcing the establishment of an accreditation body: the Accredited Residency Council (ARC)
There’s a new way of company building in the age of AI and @hf0 has found a way to productize it. • On average, teams grow 12% w/w • This batch, three teams broke $10M annualized • Six teams broke $5M
