- Evaluation: @coylefrankp from UC Berkeley uses Anthropic's CCA Exam as a field guide.
- Benchmarking: @denyslinkov from Wisedocs tests coding agents on new vs. legacy codebases.
- OpenAI Codex: @dkundel from OpenAI goes behind the harness of Codex.
- Open Source: @sdrzn from Cline discusses the future of open source.
- Additional topics include multiplayer agentic engineering and managing the 'on-call tax' of always-on agents.
