Hey clever people,

1. Codex in ChatGPT

Codex is now fully integrated into ChatGPT, with regular updates. It can write features, fix bugs, answer questions about your codebase, and propose pull requests, all in secure cloud environments linked to your GitHub repo. (Now you do not need coding degree, you need to learn how to write prompts) 

2. AlphaEvolve Advancements

AlphaEvolve is pushing boundaries by evolving codebases and discovering new algorithms. It has already delivered up to 23% performance boosts in Google’s data centers and chip designs (talk about an update).
