Most of the noise in devtools this week sits in the layer between models and production. Not new models, but everything needed to make them usable, observable, and worth the cost. From agent frameworks and orchestration to inference routing and security triage, the focus is shifting to how systems actually run at scale. The hiring market reflects that too, with teams looking for engineers who can work across product, infrastructure, and AI without handoffs.
