CASD has an off-the-shelf coding agent analyze a full set of agent logs and write the findings as rules in one prompt, with no environment access or validation data. DAIR.AI says one pass beat GEPA and SkillOpt on the reported benchmarks at about $1.60 per optimized prompt.
Administrators can manage models, tools, policies and budgets in Unity Gateway while developers keep using Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other coding agents. One configuration update is applied across supported agents.
At max effort in Claude Code, Artificial Analysis measures Opus 5.5 at 66, above Opus 5 at 60 and Claude Fable 5.1 at 62. Its cost per task is $13.04, higher than Opus 5’s $10.79 despite lower token prices.
Token Meter is a free, open-source menu bar tool from Splunk that shows coding agent costs as a run is underway.
The short-lived environments capture both schema and data, so tests do not affect production. Workflows use the Databricks CLI and AGENTS.md to compare changes with the parent branch before approved updates move through CI/CD.
Databricks says DevHub gives developers ready-to-use templates, documentation, step-by-step guidance, and agent prompts that can be copied into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or another coding agent.
elvis (@omarsar0) says he early-tested StepFun’s new Step 5 Preview as a coding agent. He reports that it and GLM 5.3 both solved two real repository tasks with no fix rounds, that Step 5 Preview stopped after checking its work, and that it found five hidden clues in a ~368K-token long-context test.
