8 benchmarks that could shape the next generation of AI agents
A new class of benchmarks are emerging to measure how well agentic AI systems reason, act, and recover across complex workflows.

QA [quality assurance] has always been kind of broken.
As AI transforms code generation, traditional QA approaches fall short. Jennifer Sand, CEO & co-founder of Codential, explores the necessity for a new quality framework to address issues in AI-created code.

At DevCon in Nov 18-19, Ray Myers will go over emerging strategies for improving the accuracy of coding agents on real codebases, benchmarks such as SWE-bench that evaluate our progress, and their limitations.

AI hates legacy code.
AI coding agents feel like magic... right up until they collide with production code.
For teams maintaining legacy systems, these agents often hallucinate APIs, run off on tangents, and shatter trust faster than an unreviewed hotfix at 5pm.

Context-Bench: Measuring AI modelsโ context engineering proficiency
Context-Bench is a new benchmark for AI models, assessing their ability to manage information and continuity skills in complex, multi-step tasks

- Al Harris (Tech Lead, Kiro ) on evolving specs while building. Because requirements change faster than your AI can code them, and you need a system that handles that without breaking everything.
- Rotem Tamir (Co-creator, Atlas ) on putting guardrails on database operations with agents. Your AI shouldn't be able to drop tables. How do you give it enough access to be useful without giving it enough rope to hang itself?
- Alex Gavrilescu (Lead Backend and Web Developer, Funstage GmbH) took Backlog.md from zero to a working product with AI agents. The messy middle between "I have an idea" and "we have a product" - what actually worked.
What is happening in the world of AI native development today?
These are builders who've already solved the problems you're probably hitting right now.

From endless tool lists to meaningful rankings, Alan Pope, DevRel at Tessl, Simon Maple on AI Native Dev to unpack what defines โgoodโ in an open ecosystem and the tools that have helped him replace manual effort.
Catch their full conversation now. Links in the comments.
Richmond Alake (AI Developer Experience at Oracle) building memory-augmented agents with MemoRizz. Because agents without memory are just expensive autocomplete.
Alex Gavrilescu (Lead Backend Dev, Greentube GmbH) running hands-on with backlog.md - using markdown to power the entire review flow from spec to PR. This is about rethinking how AI fits into your existing workflow.
Joseph Katsioloudes (Cyber Security Specialist, GitHub) on LLM security in practice. Not theory. Actual attack vectors and defenses you need to know when your whole codebase is touched by AI.
Lada Kesseler (Lead Developer, Logic 20/20) digging into emerging patterns for coding with generative AI. The stuff that's working in production right now.

Specs are becoming the new code.
@jedi.be just dropped his insights on spec-driven development, and it's essential reading for anyone building with AI agents. The core insight? We're shifting from telling AI how to code to describing what we want built.

Chris Messina (Product Designer) on how to thrive when code becomes a commodity in the age of generative AI.
Sean Roberts (Technical Advisor, Netlify) on high-voltage development workflows that make AI tooling work in real engineering teams.
Jennifer Sand and Brandy Pielech (Co-Founders, Codential.ai) on what you actually need to verify in AI-generated code - beyond just running tests.

Prompts are temporary. Specs are forever.
OpenAIโs Sean Grove calls specs the โnew code.โ They force you to decide what good output looks like before you run the AI.
Think reusable clauses, version control, IDEs that validate your spec as you write. ๐งต
