πŸ—οΈ 🚒 πŸš€ Coding Agents & Codex CLI


​

Hey, AI Makerspace community!

​

Tomorrow, we're hosting a special event entitled "What is an Agent?" We've thought deeply about this problem for years, and we were inspired by the recent Matter of OpenAI vs. LangGraph. We will break down all of the definitions that different industry players are using (including our own!), and have a rich discussion about what categories of agents matter most to think about today, and how we expect this to evolve in a world of agentic fabrics, MCP, and Agent2Agent protocol! The Wiz will also compare the code for a simple agent across all of the most popular frameworks we've covered in the past, including LangGraph, Agents SDK, AG2, LlamaIndex, DSPy, and PydanticAI.

The 2025 AI Engineer Challenge

Want to build and deploy your first real LLM app in 2025? Join us live for The AI Engineer Challenge β€” a hands-on walkthrough of the tools, stack, and skills you’ll need to go from zero to AI Engineer hero and to start building end-to-end today!

RAG: The 2025 Best-Practice Stack

Part II of our RAG series dives into the real-world blockers to getting your prototype into productionβ€”from stakeholder buy-in to cloud deployment with LangChain on Azure Databricks. If you're serious about scaling your LangGraph RAG app, this is where concepts meet code.

πŸ‘€ Event Recap!

Last week, we explored OpenAI’s newly released Codex CLI. We broke down best practices, discussed the evolving landscape of coding agents including AI-powered code editors, and examined how experimental projects like Codex CLI are shaping software engineering workflows in 2025.

The Llama 4 Herd

Hey, AI Makerspace community! This Wednesday, we'll cover the new release from OpenAI: Codex CLI, a lightweight coding agent that runs in your terminal. Carrying the same name as the original Codex models released in 2021, this new open-source tooling is a CLI-based coding agent that bears little resemblance to the model that originally powered GitHub Copilot. Join us to understand coding agents and best practices for their use in 2025 πŸ” Coming Up: What is an Agent? OpenAI just released their...

RAG: The 2025 Best Practice Stack

Hey, AIM community! Tomorrow, we'll cover Enterprise Agents with OpenAI! What does the agents SDK look like from OpenAI? How does it build on previous work they've done? Are they officially in the end-to-end platform game competing with orchestration frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and others? Join us live to find out! Last week, we discussed RAG: The 2025 Best-Practice Stack This is the year of Practical RAG, and we kicked it off by unpacking the Minimum Viable...

DeepSeek Week

Hey, AIM community! On Wednesday, we'll cover the infra stack that we recommend for RAG in 2025. Then, we'll build, ship, and share a best-practice RAG app. We'll also discuss important production tradeoffs and implications that you should consider before and after deployment when going from zero to production RAG! Last week, we discussed the latest open-source repo drops from DeepSeek Week, and we covered how they're being used as a new best-practice way to do inference on MoE models via...
