Week in review: OpenCode, Amazon's vibe-coding woes, and Nvidia's Nemoclaw
Here's what people flocked to last week on The New Stack: Open source coding agents stole the show, with our look at OpenCode's new subscription plan (and on how agents like it are solving a huge headache for developers) generating massive reader interest.
Also: We explored the Markdown-vs-MCP debate that is remolding AI agent configuration, Anthropic's new multi-agent code review architecture for Claude Code, and OpenAI's expansion of Codex to Windows. Finally, there was an exploration of AerynOS, a new Linux distribution built from the ground up.
In the past few days, reporting on vibe-coding problems at Amazon and Nvidia’s reported plans for NemoClaw generated interest, as did our interview with the Product Lead for VS Code and GitHub Copilot at Microsoft, who has revealed that his team moved to weekly releases after 10 years of monthly — and he credits AI for making it possible.
Future workflows will see boosted productivity with Cursor Automations: AI agents that handle code reviews, bug fixes & triage inside a developer's codebase.
Scaling real-time AI & ML workloads for performance and efficiency March 18
