Google has partnered with Sourcegraph, the creators of Cody AI, to investigate the impact of extended context windows on AI coding assistance. The collaboration focuses on Cody's performance with Gemini 1.5 Flash's 1 million context window, which demonstrated significant improvements across key benchmarks. This initiative is part of Sourcegraph's ongoing efforts to enhance context-aware coding tools, following their launch of the first code-search-enhanced coding assistant. Additionally, discussions around the future of AI in software development are being highlighted through interviews and podcasts featuring industry experts, including Steve Yegge and Peter Guagenti.
