Automate your release notes with Qodo Command ✍️ Our Release Notes agent reviews all changes and auto-generates a clear, structured summary of updates, fixes & key details — then opens a PR to update your RELEASE_NOTES.md.
AI agents deleting your codebase? You can avoid it. You must have quality and control as first-class citizens. Example? MCP-hub, where you have centralized control of your agents' access/authorization. Agent having access to your production DB? No! Another example? Use…



How to get the most out of Qodo Merge for PR reviews 🧵 Here’s a breakdown of the most powerful workflows in Qodo Merge 👇
Will Cursor regret not selling for $15B? techcrunch.com/2025/07/15/ai-…
I love Claude models, don't get me wrong. They're incredible. But, I think we're overclaiming on Opus capabilities for most real world use cases. The cost efficiency just isn't there. Opus is 5x more expensive than Sonnet, but for 90% of tasks, you're paying premium…

Where is Deepseek‑R1 now? And what will come of Kimi‑K2? China’s open-source LLM race just heated up again.
🚀 Hello, Kimi K2! Open-Source Agentic Model! 🔹 1T total / 32B active MoE model 🔹 SOTA on SWE Bench Verified, Tau2 & AceBench among open models 🔹Strong in coding and agentic tasks 🐤 Multimodal & thought-mode not supported for now With Kimi K2, advanced agentic intelligence…
So, how is the new Grok-4 model on real-world coding tasks ? The verdict? It's solid, but not a revolution. While Grok-4 shows impressive gains on academic benchmarks, established 'thinking' models like o3 and Gemini-Pro still outperform it on more practical coding tasks like…
[#Cursor pricing saga] BYOK is not the solution to the real problem. All the discussion around Cursor’s pricing signals that we’re entering the era of *AI efficiency*, where runtime and cost matters. At @QodoAI, efficiency has been a core principle from day one. Take our AI…
