The Latest Agentic Development

Software Engineering Could Be Fully Automated in 6–12 Months

During a discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicted that AI models could perform "most, maybe all" of software engineering tasks end-to-end within the next 6 to 12 months. Amodei revealed that many Anthropic engineers have already shifted from manual coding to editing model-generated code, suggesting a rapidly closing "self-improvement loop" where AI builds better AI.

Ollama Enables Local Execution for Claude Code via API Compatibility

Ollama has announced that version 0.14.0 and later are now compatible with the Anthropic Messages API, allowing developers to run Claude Code locally using open-source models. This integration enables terminal-based agentic coding with local LLMs like qwen3-coder or gpt-oss:20b, providing a cost-effective and private alternative to cloud-only workflows while maintaining full tool-calling and streaming capabilities.

Strike48 launches “Agentic Log Intelligence Platform” to remove log blind spots for AI agents

Strike48 launched what it calls the first “Agentic Log Intelligence Platform,” positioning it as infrastructure so security/IT agents aren’t “flying blind” due to fragmented log pipelines and cost-driven visibility gaps. The strategic implication: agentic ops at scale will depend on complete telemetry + sane economics as much as model quality.

eGain announces AI Agent integration for Cisco Webex Contact Center

eGain announced an AI Agent for Cisco Webex Contact Center focused on delivering AI-powered knowledge “at the point of service,” and is demoing it at Customer Contact Week (Jan 21–23). For contact centers, this is part of the broader shift from assistive knowledge lookup to agentic resolution workflows embedded directly in the agent desktop.

Agora and Sentino Partner to Build 'Physical AI' Companions with Memory

Agora and Sentino have announced a strategic partnership to build an AI Agent Platform for "Physical AI," focusing on long-term emotional engagement and retention. The platform features an "Agent OS" for persistent presence and an "AI Diary" to capture shared memories, aiming to move AI agents from transactional chatbots to daily companions.
