Shane and Abhi are in person this week — live from the CodeRabbit office — for a packed AI news rundown.
The big theme: loop engineering. Boris Cherny (head of Claude Code) and Peter Steinberger both landed the same take within days — stop prompting your agents, start designing the loops that prompt them. We walk the whole evolution: the traditional loop, the Ralph loop, /goal, and Claude Code's new dynamic workflows — and debate whether "stop prompting" is real insight or just clickbait.
Plus: Anthropic engineers shipping 8x more code (and the "depressed employees" reply), agentic traffic passing human traffic on the web for the first time, OpenAI's Codex Sites taking aim at Lovable, Cognition's $10M AI Productivity Guarantee and Devin Desktop, Cloudflare acquiring VoidZero, the accelerating shift to Chinese models (Lindy going 100% DeepSeek), Notion disabling Anthropic models over reliability, a big open-model dump (Gemma 4, Magenta RealTime 2, Miso One, Nemotron, Liquid, GLM 5.1, MiniMax M3), funding rounds (Suno, Supabase), Brian Chesky's new AI lab, and whether AI is actually profitable yet.
Recorded live at the CodeRabbit office — thanks to the CodeRabbit team.
AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer. Mondays 12PM Pacific.
