Code at the Speed of Thought: The Agentic IDE Revolution

2025-07-26T09:04:27+00:00

We have all experienced the struggle of debugging code that just won't work. It's already 2 AM in the morning and you're pulling out all the stops, searching Stack Overflow for answers, copying and pasting code and hoping for that miracle that it will work. (It feels too real that it hurts to read)  Now imagine instead, you simply tell your computer "Hi, this function isn't working the way I want it to. Can you figure it out and fix it?" After a few seconds, ting! It actually does it, edits the codebase that you have and furthermore explains what [...]

Large Reasoning Models (LRMs): The AI That Actually Shows Its Work

2025-07-08T12:38:54+00:00

Imagine you are in a Math Class, and the teacher just gave a complex problem for everyone to solve. Then, after a few minutes, a classmate just shouted an answer. You’re all shocked because how did he come up with it? Was it the correct answer or they just made a guess? When the teacher asked them to elaborate they refused and said that they already did their work.  This scenario displays the frustrations with traditional AI systems: fast answers with zero transparency.  Now imagine that same classmate going up to the board, writing all of the formulas and calculations, [...]

Model Context Protocol: The Universal Connector for AI

2025-05-10T14:41:25+00:00

  Imagine that you are at an international conference where all of the wise minds from around the world are together. They all want to share their new and inspiring ideas to everyone. But there is just one tiny problem: everyone speaks a different language, and only limited translators are going around. It is frustrating, right? To almost have access to vast amounts of knowledge but also limited to how you can communicate.  Well, that's exactly where our AI models find themselves today; they are brilliant but trapped in their own bubbles and find it difficult to communicate with other [...]

When Contracts Learn: The Power of AI-Driven Smart Contracts in Blockchain

2025-04-18T09:28:35+00:00

  Have you ever clicked "I agree" on a long contract or terms and conditions that pop up when you install a new application—and then forget about it? We know that it is not recommended to do that, but those long blocks of text are just not it. On the other side, writing and reviewing those agreements is just as painful. Anyone who has tried to write a contract knows the struggle of reading every line and checking if you have missed something.  Now, imagine if your contract can write and update itself, with no back-and-forth reading and no endless [...]
