GM redesigned its engineering workflows around AI agents — and tripled its merged pull requests
Software engineers at General Motors (GM s) autonomous driving division spend only 15% of their time writing code, according to Rashed Haq, GM s VP of autonomous vehicles, in a recent onstage interview at VB Transform 2026.GM is now using AI agents to accelerate much of the other 85%—including analyzing vehicle data, triaging problems, running experiments and testing potential fixes.The result, Haq said, is roughly three times as many merged pull requests across GM’s autonomous vehicle engineering organization, faster releases and fewer defects escaping into later stages of development.Haq said GM achieved those gains by redesigning complete engineering workflows around agents — not merely adding an AI coding assistant.“If you give somebody just a chatbot which can do coding, there’s still a lot of inefficiency built into that process,” Haq said during a main-stage fireside chat at the luxurious Hotel Nia in Menlo Park, California.Engineers spent most of their time outside the code edi

Runway couldn't fix a bug in its AI video model, so it turned the bug into a feature
Runway spent weeks trying to engineer its way out of a stubborn bug: AI-generated avatars would drift off-center during real-time video generation. The fix wasn t a back-end patch — it was a new front-end feature that just worked around the problem. That s the kind of lesson Ryan Phillips, head of enterprise product at Runway ML, walked through at VB Transform 2026, arguing that even companies not building foundation models themselves can learn from how Runway builds, evaluates, and ships them. I think even if you are not all building models yourselves, it s helpful to learn how we do it because I think almost all of the lessons are applicable to what you all are doing day-to-day, Phillips said.Runway is an applied AI research company building general world models to power generative tools. During his presentation, Phillips showcased Runway Characters, a real-time video model that enables zero-latency, back-and-forth interactions with AI-generated avatars. Five years ago, creating a vi

4GB graphics cards are back
The first modern GPU with 4GB of VRAM has appeared, as RAM prices and component shortages push tech prices higher. As Digital Foundry reports, a listing for an AMD Radeon RX 9050 with 4GB of RAM was spotted on ASRock's website by a user on X, the same day ASRock also launched an 8GB version of the RX 9050. Does it make sense to buy a graphics card with just 4GB of VRAM? According to the specs on ASRock's website, the 4GB version of the RX 9050 is built on AMD's RDNA 4 architecture and has a 64-bit memory interface, 16 compute units, and a boost clock speed of up to 2,600MHz / 18GBps. That should be enough to enable new features like FSR 4, … Read the full story at The Verge.
