Vendors such as Databricks, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Snowflake offer different implementations of model routing, optimizing for cost, quality, or overall system performance. Beware the Pareto trap. infoworld.com/article/423817…

Kiro, Spec Kit, Tessl, and Zenflow offer a more systematic and structured approach to developing with AI agents than vibe coding. infoworld.com/article/417133…

Microsoft’s Azure-based AI development and deployment platform shines with a strong selection of models and agent types and an excellent playground for experimenting with agents. infoworld.com/article/416576…

The Google ADK is a capable and mostly complete framework for developing agents, with support for multiple agent types, multi-agent architectures, and multiple programming languages. infoworld.com/article/415385…

AgentCore delivers an enterprise-grade infrastructure and operations layer for deploying and managing AI agents at scale, with a few wrinkles. infoworld.com/article/414338…

Google Cloud’s lead engineer for databases discusses the challenges of integrating databases and LLMs, the tools needed to overcome these challenges, and how AI-native databases will help bridge the gap. infoworld.com/article/411297…

Amazon Q Developer is a useful AI-powered coding assistant with chat, CLI, Model Context Protocol and agent support, and AWS expertise. infoworld.com/article/410043…

Jules performs better than Gemini CLI despite using the same model, and more like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. infoworld.com/article/408626…

Codex gives software developers a first-rate coding agent in their terminal and their IDE, along with the ability to delegate background tasks to agents in the cloud. infoworld.com/article/407104…

Artificial intelligence has taken many forms over the years and is still evolving. Will machines soon surpass human knowledge and understanding? infoworld.com/article/406112…

Qwen Code’s Qwen3-Coder model doesn’t seem as good as its benchmark scores imply, but the tools are free and the usage limits are generous. infoworld.com/article/405491…

AI-powered coding agents are now real and usable, if not without their foibles. Here’s a brief look at the top prospects. infoworld.com/article/402432…

Gemini CLI and its gemini-2.5-pro model don’t quite match Claude Code or Solver, but they can get you pretty far without paying for a subscription or for usage. infoworld.com/article/402591…

Open-source distributed OLAP database and powerful SaaS counterpart shine with plug-in indexes, signature tunable star-tree index, and ability to combine batch data with streaming data. infoworld.com/article/399835…

Llama has evolved beyond a simple language model into a multi-modal AI framework with safety features, code generation, and multi-lingual support. infoworld.com/article/384338…

Retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, integrates external data sources to reduce hallucinations and improve the response accuracy of large language models. infoworld.com/article/233581…

Google’s AI coding assistant can help you write, test, debug, and document your code, but currently lacks whole-repo code generation and agents for long-running coding tasks. infoworld.com/article/382934…

Do you want to delegate a software engineering task to an AI agent and leave it to work on the problem by itself? Solver may be able to help you. infoworld.com/article/361756…

LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, and Haystack all help you to construct retrieval-augmented generation and other AI-enabled apps using your favorite large language models. infoworld.com/article/361766…
