AI set to do 100% of all coding in 12 months. OpenAI releases new developer tools. Perplexity gets a Windows app. And MoveAI sets the new standard in AI motion capture. Here’s today’s AI news.
Hey, whatever happened to “learn to code”? Dario Amodei made the controversial statement that “in 12 months we may be in a world where AI is essentially writing all of the code.” Whether you think this is wildly optimistic or not, it’s certainly clear which way the trend is going.
The overall percentage of new code written by AI might be small right now, but that is going to constantly be moving in a positive direction. Whether that gets to 30% or 50% or 100% by the end of year is not really the point. The changes are coming and they’re coming fast. OpenAI released a new set of tools for developers that can be implemented via their APIs and SDKs.
This includes web and file search where you can get information retrieval from those sources by passing a query. Computer use that allows the takeover of the user’s computer and an agents SDK for creating and configuring agents. OpenAI continue to look beyond just the consumer tools that they are most well known for.
Are expanding their capabilities to try and stay ahead of the competition. Perplexity have launched their new Windows app. So now you can experience all of the great services that Perplexity has to offer directly on their native Windows app rather than having to use your browser. Small things like this can make a big difference to the adoption of a service like Perplexity.
And finally Move AI has announced the second generation of their motion capture AI that allows users to capture full body motion without any special equipment from a single camera. The full body dynamics captured look incredible and this kind of technology opens up a whole world of opportunities that would have previously been unthinkable for anyone without a Hollywood budget.
