Observation
AUMOVIO's Cline trial fixed a five-day bug in minutes, but general models ignored the company's own libraries.
- Takeaway
- Agentic search finds code that one-shot retrieval misses, but a general model does not reuse your internal libraries unless something tells it to. Check pilot output for duplicates of existing APIs, and decide whether rules, MCP tools, or a tuned model carry that knowledge.
- What happened
- AUMOVIO ran a hackathon with AWS to test a coding assistant on its software-defined-vehicle code. Retrieval from a vector store could not find the right code in one query. So the team switched to Cline on Claude 3.7 Sonnet in Amazon Bedrock, which searches the codebase step by step. As anecdotes, the team reports Cline fixing in minutes a bug that had taken a senior developer five full days, and halving a very large file by removing redundancy. The same models, not tuned on AUMOVIO's code, wrote duplicates of existing internal libraries. The pilot build kept Cline and Amazon Q Developer in VS Code and exposed models fine-tuned from Qwen3 32B as MCP endpoints for method and unit-test generation. The post says AUMOVIO is gradually migrating its projects to Kiro.
