InfoQ Reading List
Sixteen Claude Agents Built a C Compiler Without Human Intervention... Almost
In an effort to probe the limits of autonomous software development Anthropic used sixteen Claude Opus 4.6 AI agents to build a Rust-based C compiler from scratch. Working in parallel on a shared repository, the agents coordinated their changes and ultimately produced a compiler capable of building the Linux 6.9 kernel across x86, ARM, and RISC-V, as well as many other open-source projects.
By Sergio De SimoneFrom Paging to Postmortem: Google Cloud SREs on Using Gemini CLI for Outage Response
A recent article by Google Cloud SREs describes how they use the AI-powered Gemini CLI internally to resolve real-world outages. This approach improves reliability in critical infrastructure operations and reduces incident response time by integrating intelligent reasoning directly into the terminal-based operational tools.
By Renato LosioFirestore Adds Pipeline Operations with Over 100 New Query Features
Google has overhauled Firestore’s query engine, introducing "Pipeline operations" that enable complex server-side aggregations and array unnesting. The update shifts Firestore Enterprise toward an optional indexing model, allowing architects to prioritize write speed and lower costs. While it brings parity with MongoDB-style aggregations, the preview currently lacks real-time and emulator support.
