An agent wrote a script to archive hundreds of GitHub repos. It looked solid, except the GitHub CLI command it used didn’t exist. 😅 Olaf joined Beyond Vibe Coding to talk about what happens when code generation outpaces validation: circle.ci/4gWEJFe

We’re redesigning parts of CircleCI for a new kind of user: coding agents. That means rethinking everything from how much context they should get to which tools they can access and how we evaluate their work. Here’s what we’ve learned so far: confidentcommit.com

Your CI shouldn’t go down every time GitHub Actions does. CircleCI can now run supported GitHub Actions workflows directly on CircleCI infrastructure. Keep your YAML, move CI off GitHub’s critical path. Now in open preview on Linux: circle.ci/4yenntC

Attending AWS Summit Japan? Come say hi! We'll be breaking down the inner and outer loop of software delivery, and how Chunk sidecars are closing the gap between local development and CI with less context switching and faster feedback. See you there. 🇯🇵

CircleCI @circleci.com · 18/06/2026

Devs tend to solve their own problems first, and according to @seldo.com, they're doing it again with AI: using coding agents as the proving ground before applying those lessons everywhere else. More from Rob and Laurie on why the pattern keeps repeating: circle.ci/4ek2PbC

Uber burned its AI coding budget in four months. Most teams see that and focus on token costs. But a 50-person eng team can lose ~$700K/year to the coordination overhead that happens after the code is written. Read the latest Confident Commit: circle.ci/4rjo5SG

27 seconds vs 5 minutes. That’s what inner loop validation looks like with Chunk sidecars. Fast feedback in the inner loop that validates changes while your agent is still working. Cleaner commits in the outer loop. Available for all CircleCI users today! Learn more: circle.ci/43h8dWR

Engineering leaders are budgeting AI wrong. Running your team at 2x for 3 weeks, then throttling them back to 1x because they hit a token cap, isn't cost optimization. It's just introducing friction into the system. Full ep with Chris from @augmentcode.com: circle.ci/4uuNWc8

Long test suites slow everything down. But by running only the tests that matter, we cut one project’s suite from 30 minutes to about a minute and a half, which makes feedback way faster! Learn how faster feedback loops drive more stable delivery: circle.ci/3YiQgEx

Chunk headed to Toronto for AgentCon this weekend and had a great time! 🇨🇦 We loved chatting with so many developers and catching a session from our team on agentic delivery and what happens when CI stays in the loop while AI agents build. Where should Chunk go next? ✈️

The biggest costs in CI rarely show up on a budget line. They show up as lost time, delayed delivery, and senior engineers being pulled into work that could have been handled earlier. When you model that impact, the economics change quickly. Find the full example: circle.ci/3L643vd

Most teams don’t notice this day to day, as it usually shows up as waiting on feedback, context switching, and stalled momentum. But over time, it can turn into a real cost for engineering teams. Full breakdown: circle.ci/4cdyXwT

When you look at CI throughput growth by team performance, a clear gap shows up. 🏆 Top 5% of teams increased throughput by 97% 🚀 Top 10% grew by 47% ⚖️ Median team grew 4% AI is increasing development activity, but the gains aren’t evenly spread. We dig into why here: circle.ci/49HdjQ7
