Summary
Today on the AI Daily Brief: AI isn’t just helping engineers anymore—it’s writing nearly half the code at companies like Robinhood and Coinbase, with some leaders saying human-written code is now in the minority. We explore what this milestone means for software development, the rise of agentic coding tools, and why investors are pouring billions into the space. In the headlines: OpenAI’s AI-powered feature film project, Microsoft’s $17.4B cloud deal, and fresh moves from Databricks, 11Labs, and Anthropic.
