What is changing across AI coding agents?

  1. The State of AI Coding Agents in 2026

    Claude Code leads coding agent use at work, and frontier models now finish multi-hour tasks on their own. What your team can hand an agent comes down to how much output your reviewers can check and which permissions the agent runs with.
