AIE Europe Keynotes & Coding Agents ft. Pi, Google Deepmind, Anthropic, Cursor, Linear, & more
summary
Gemma 4 ships as small on‑device models with an E2B per‑layer embeddings design and the family already hits millions of downloads; MCP tooling reports ~110M monthly downloads and a push toward programmatic tool calling for lower latency. Cursor replaces whole features—replaced 15,000 lines with a 200‑line Markdown skill—and Pi shows a minimal, extensible harness while warning of agent‑generated technical debt. Hardware and infra choices matter too, e.g. Codex Spark 1,200 TPS enabling instant validation and new fast‑model workflows.
