AI Agents Unleashed: The Future of Coding is Here
26 May
Summary
- New AI model Opus 4.5 reportedly scores higher than any human on engineering exams.
- OpenClaw, a tool for personal AI agents, gained 100,000 Github stars in two weeks.
- AI agents are revolutionizing software development, feeling like a 'sea change'.
In August 2025, enthusiasts gathered in London to discuss their growing reliance on coding tools like Anthropic's Claude Code. The release of Claude Code Opus 4.5 in late 2025 marked a significant escalation, with the AI reportedly outperforming human candidates on rigorous engineering assessments. This development has fueled a surge in 'Claudeholics,' who use the advanced tool to build software with unprecedented speed.
Peter Steinberger, splitting time between London and Vienna, launched OpenClaw in November 2025, a project enabling personal AI agents to leverage Claude Code and similar technologies. This open-source tool quickly gained traction, accumulating over 100,000 stars on Github in under two weeks. The arrival of powerful AI agents is reshaping the tech landscape, with some proclaiming 'AGI is here.'
This revolution echoes the 1980s computer era, with experts like Thomas Reardon calling it a massive, underrated release. Marc Andreessen predicts this will become the default way people interact with computers. Boris Cherny, formerly an Instagram tech lead working remotely in Japan, was drawn into this AI wave, leaving his rural life to join Anthropic.
