SITUATION DETECTED: Anthropic acquired a one-person company in July 2026. Mithril Medicine - developing treatments for two rare forms of muscular dystrophy - owned and run by one person who used Claude to organize contracts, logistics, and experiments with 11 external labs.
How do you _guarantee_ your agent's code is correct? You prove it.
Introducing Proof Driven Development Kit (PDD Kit) from @MSFTResearch.
PDD Kit helps turn your plan into a formal spec, then proves the agent's code meets that spec for every input. No vibe verification. PDD Kit is integrated with @GitHubNext's Chopin, so you can plan as a team.
PDD Kit takes an app's login flow from intent to a verified pull request:
It discusses your code, infers your intent as it goes, and proposes a formal spec in Verus, a proof language for Rust.
Once you approve the spec, the Verus verifier automatically proves the code meets it.
Where proof isn't possible, it falls back to empirical verification with tests and computer-use agents (CUAs).
It works on Rust today. No new language, no change in how you produce the underlying code, making formal methods more accessible.
The goal is a verified software factory, where engineers review specifications instead of code.
Come see it in action at GitHub Universe, Oct 28–29. Swing by the Speakeasy and ask for GitHub Next!
Devin Fusion tied #1 on Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index
Outperforms Claude Code w/ Opus 5.5 on both performance and price, at 31% lower cost per task
Fusion has a wide array of model combinations, so as more models become available the design space for finding optimal / specialized combinations grows.

Hey! I run Hack Collective @hackcollective, which is a community + calendar of curated hackathon and tech events that is happening all around UK, especially London. We are #2 on Google if you search up for London Hackathons.
@bot LDN Community Hack is this Thursday, and @cognee_ is a tech partner.
Come build with @grok + @cognee_ this Thursday.
@bot LDN Community Hack by @frankterpo, with @supabase, @zero_gtm and @cursor_ai as tech partners and @Expedite_Now hosting.
Eleven London communities are taking part.
