The push was prompted in part by Anthropic’s recent AI model releases, according to two of the people. Researchers at Google DeepMind view Anthropic’s coding tools as exceeding the code-writing abilities of Google’s Gemini models, the people said.

Нагрузочное тестирование — одна из самых избегаемых тем, когда речь заходит о контроле качества ПО. Корпорации, конечно, не обходят его стороной, но если говорить о продуктах меньшего масштаба, то нагрузочное тестирование часто пропускается. Команда (и, в целом, справедливо) полагает, что продукт справится с нагрузкой — на малых объёмах это обычно прокатывает. А потом внезапно наступает день, когда пользователей стало больше, а система не готова.Почему команды не тащат нагрузку в релизный... Read more ›
