What's up friends? Adam here. Big week here at Changelog. Some big change all around.
The bigger news since we last shipped news was AWS data center is getting bombed by Iran to take down Claude. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. And I have a lot of stuff things because that's kind of heavy. We have new MacBook Pro models with M5 Pro and M5 Max available to pre order.
I'm so torn and so tempted. Okay, let's get into the news. GPT 5.4 opening. I shipped their latest model last Thursday.
GPT 5.4 is seriously good. And the phrase trust the model has never been more true for coding. Our friends at Augment Code made this statement. Quote it is the first model we've used that feels built for agent workflows, planning cleanly, delegating well and consistently falling through without getting lost halfway.
End quote. Fun fact. I was actually reviewing the models when I saw this new model list and I was like, yeah, I changed to 5.4 and was seriously impressed and making some amazing progress instantly. If you're sleeping on Codex or GPT 5.4, you might be missing out.
Living Human Brain Cells play doom on a CL1 when I talked to Drew Wilson back in episode 639 link in the show to course about chasing that next big thing, he mentioned his design work on Cortical labs and the CL1 and now the thing plays Doom and they have the video to prove it. The future's now, my friends. The future's now. I was a text engineer and now I'm useless.
So we got a video on X from Mobitard Hits on this tollbooth idea as well as the idea of omg why do I keep writing code by hand when this thing can produce better and faster or near instantly? Yeah, we're all just tiptoing around these feelings, but mope put out there and you put it out there. Well, we're gonna get Mo on a pod coming soon. Check your DMs.
Mo. Check your DMs. Your code base is full of bugs. Okay, so I haven't tried this site yet for myself, but I saw enough post on X about it, so I had to share it here with you guys.
Detail.dev scans your code base to find serious bugs. Each scan spends a few hours exercising your code in creative ways to uncover bugs you'll be glad to know about. If you haven't tried it out yet, go to detail.dev and now for some sponsored news. Here's a fun experiment.
Ask your coding agent to recommend a logging library for your next project. Now check when that recommendation was last updated. Here's the thing. AI coding agents are trained on data with knowledge cutoff.
That package they just confidently recommended could have three CVEs disclosed since the model learned about it. Your code runs, but your security audit does not. That's why someone type built Guide. And here's the fun the unauthenticated version is ready for you to play with.
No signup, no credit card. Here's your challenge. Just go to guide.sonatype.com that's guide.s o n a t y p e.com search for dependency your AI recently recommended and see what some of type knows that your model does not. Results will be interesting.

Check it out. Haptics Lochi me that's Haptics Loch I E me Link in the show notes. Well, that wraps up news this week. Take the week off next week.
Spring break is here next week, so no news next week, but normal pods are shipping as planned. All right, that's it for this week. We'll see you again real soon.
