73% of developers who use AI coding tools use them daily, and two-thirds use coding agents (Stack Overflow 2026 Developer Survey). Andrej Karpathy coined a word and accidentally started a revolution. We track the tools, the money, and who's actually shipping.
Meta released an 816B open-weight model but kept its best ones closed. Gemini 4 Argon is rolling out, OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Astra is reportedly cancelled, and Mistral and Qwen promise big open models. Plus what AI leaders say about P(doom).
Opus 5.5 leads the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index at 58, with Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 following within three weeks. Gemini 4 Argon and GPT-6.1 Sol are out, and Meta just launched Muse Wonder. Five signals that changed the AI race this month.

Three tools, one project, real results. We didn't pull punches.
AI app builder — describe what you want, Lovable builds the full stack. Frontend, backend, database, auth, deployment. One of the fastest-growing products in history: $100M ARR in 8 months. Best for beginners and agencies.
Full app generation from a single prompt — no code required. Handles database, logic, UI, and deployment automatically. Best for non-technical founders who want to launch fast with a clean, working product.
Fastest time-to-live-URL of any tool. Browser-based, no setup, Supabase backend baked in. Best for throwaway demos, client prototypes, and anything you need deployed by tomorrow. Pro: $25/mo.
Full IDE + AI agent + cloud hosting in one browser tab. Went from $10M to $100M revenue in 9 months after launching their Agent. Most comprehensive environment — great for education and collaborative builds.
VS Code fork with deep AI integration. Runs Claude, GPT, and Gemini (third-party models billed by usage on paid plans). The tool Andrej Karpathy was using when he coined "vibe coding." Best for developers who want full control — not a no-code tool.
Cursor alternative with credit-based pricing. Pro is $15/mo with 500 prompt credits. Best for budget-conscious developers who code with AI assistance rather than full app generation.
