Bend 2 called a 'software factory language': formal verification ends code review
airesearch12 · x · 2026-09-20
An AI researcher argues Bend 2 is being slept on: it's essentially a "software factory language." Models silently screw up code, making fully automated software factories unviable. Bend replaces the .md spec role — define objectives, let the model figure out the implementation — and because the final implementation is formally verified, you no longer need to review the code yourself.
