Building the God Coding Agent

In this episode of the Latent Space Podcast, Alessio hosts Quinn Slack (CEO of Sourcegraph) and Thorsten Ball (lead engineer of Amp) to discuss the evolution from Cody to Amp, Sourcegraph's new AI coding agent. They delve into the reasons behind rebranding, the technical differences between Cody and Amp, and the rapid pace of change in the AI dev tool landscape. The conversation covers the internal team dynamics, the decision-making process regarding product structure (VS Code extension vs. CLI), model choices, and the challenges of building a product on top of rapidly evolving AI models. They also explore the future of coding, the importance of adapting to change, and the shift towards user-generated enterprise software.
