As the week winds down, it’s tempting to let “just one more copy-paste” slip through. But duplication today often becomes technical debt tomorrow. This review caught a clear example: 👉 The logic for updating chargeDateArray is duplicated. The recommendation? 💡 Refactor into a separate function to reduce redundancy and improve maintainability. Why should you care? ✅ A single source of truth minimizes bugs ✅ Cleaner design makes the code easier to follow ✅ Long-term efficiency improves with every small refactor With tools like Panto AI, reviews like this are surfaced automatically — helping teams close out the week with confidence and start the next one on stronger footing.

Accelerate engineering by blending AI tools with proven habits: use automation for code comprehension, refactoring, and performance tuning; boost test coverage and velocity with smart prompts; and capture unfinished work to maintain flow. Structure requests well and leverage persistent context files to help AI deliver real impact. Use a Best-of-N approach to uncover optimal solutions. #SoftwareEngineering #AItools #Productivity #BestPractices

Most AppSec tools weren’t built for the AI era. With engineers writing more than half their code with AI, legacy scanners can’t keep up. They miss patterns in AI-generated code, overlook risks in models, agents, and MCPs, and leave organizations exposed. Mend.io is built differently: ✅ AI-native scanning tuned for AI-generated code ✅ Complete inventory of AI models and agents ✅ Risk detection legacy tools don’t even see It’s time for an AppSec stack built for how software is made today. #AppSec #AIsecurity #MendAI #DevSecOps

Most devs still wire agents together from scratch, juggling LLM prompts, API calls, and workflow orchestration. Messy. Slow. Fragile. ⚡ What the OpenAI Agent SDK changes: It breaks the stack into three clear roles: Agent, Tools, and Runner. The trio handles reasoning, execution, and task management so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. 💡 Why it matters: With the SDK, you can go from “idea” to a voice-native AI assistant in hours, not weeks. The modular design means you plug in APIs, memory, or voice I/O without drowning in boilerplate. 📽️ This 10-second snippet introduces the SDK trio. The full video shows how they come together to power real-world agents. Follow Neurl Creators for more AI builder deep dives. #OpenAI #AgentSDK #VoiceAI #AIagents #NeurlCreators

AI Series Episode #64. Deepseek did it again with quiet release of V3.1 on Huggingface. What stands out: 1. Scale + capability - ~685B parameters with a 128K context window - Strong coding/reasoning; competitive on MMLU and SVG Bench - One unified model for chat + planning + code - Clear signal that open-source is narrowing the gap with proprietary leaders 2. Economics reset - ~60× cheaper than many closed APIs - Performance per dollar is the new battleground - V3.1 forces a rethink of “closed premium” pricing models Why it matters: - Frontier performance without frontier pricing - Real options for control (self-host), compliance, and customization - Faster iteration for teams of all sizes Bottom line: Open, capable, and cost-disruptive—V3.1 changes the calculus. #AI #DeepSeek #LLMs #OpenSource #GenAI #CostOptimization #MLOps #DeveloperTools

Throwback to AI-fokus 2025 🎥 Generative AI can be a powerful force multiplier for developers — but at scale, it comes with real challenges.

Nothing is more satisfying on a demo call than a customer showing they built their own GPT and it does not work! Stringing together an LLM and a few prompts isn’t enough. Building vertical AI means going deep: -Secure enterprise hosting, -Domain-specific data - Custom retrieval -Rigorous evaluation, -Continuous fine-tuning -Guardrails -Prompt concatenation -Concurrency at scale -Cross-region inferencing -Real-time feedback loops. Its thousands of lines of code by experienced engineers. The gap between a toy demo and a production-grade AI system is wide. #AIinCRE #LeaseIntelligence #DueDiligence #LegalTech

Open-ends are powerful, but hard to manage. Going through hundreds of comments manually is slow and often inconsistent. Survey Automator makes it easier: with Open-End Coding, you can set categories, use AI to match responses, and quickly turn free text into structured data. 👉 Swipe to see exactly how to code open-ends. #SurveyTips #ResearchOps #DataQuality #SurveyDesign

🌟MCPMark: A New Benchmark for LLMs! 🌟 The MCPMark is designed to evaluate the multi-tool-use and code-related capabilities of large language models (LLMs). It features an associated leaderboard that ranks models based on their performance. 🔑 Key Aspects of MCPMark: Purpose: The benchmark aims to "stress-test" LLMs in complex contexts that require the use of multiple tools to accomplish tasks. This is especially relevant for agentic applications, where models must interact with external tools and environments to tackle real-world challenges. Developers: Created by Researchers in collaboration with Eval Sys and LobeHub. Test Data: Utilizes a high-quality dataset of 127 expert-created samples to rigorously test a model's abilities. 🎯 Focus Areas: Multi-tool Use (MCP): Evaluates how effectively models can interact with and orchestrate multiple tools to solve problems. Comprehensive Contexts: Assesses the ability to handle tasks that require more than a single-turn response. Coding: Measures performance on real-world coding tasks. 📊 How the Leaderboard Works: The MCPMark leaderboard ranks both proprietary and open-source models based on several metrics, providing a holistic evaluation: Success Rate: The percentage of tasks that the model completes successfully. Average Agent Time: The average time it takes for the model to complete the tasks. Per-Run Cost: The cost of running the model for a single task, highlighting efficiency for commercial applications and open-source development. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gpSpGpRJ #ai #agent #evals #mcp
