Curious as a potential video topic - what should developers be looking out for in the AI space in 2026?

What do you mean?

Are there particular products or subjects where you think there’s going to be a lot of progress?

Ah I see. Based on mostly vibes… - I think we’ll see 10m token context windows and substantially better long context performance so context engineering will be less important. - I think we’ll see the first usable continuous learning models towards the end of 2026, no idea what to do about that.

- I think we will see many more model architecture improvements compared to 2025 as the cost of scaling becomes prohibitive. The focus will be more on quality than it has been on inference cost, though inference cost will also continue to drop.

- GitHub will probably release their “agent HQ” feature that they keep talking about and try to rebuild the GitHub experience around it, with other parts of the product folding into it or languishing. There will be lots of people mad about it.

- I really want to see more companies spring up focusing specifically on agentic code review. I think current tooling is woefully insufficient. I’m thinking there’s got to be loads of great low hanging fruit in augmenting code review tools with LSP data.
