Mistral helped a European energy operator migrate 40,000 lines of Fortran 77 to C++, targeting a physics-heavy reservoir simulator without a test suite or centralised documentation. The team first built a numerical-alignment testing framework, used Skill.md to guide agents in exporting state snapshots and validating migrated modules, then launched over a hundred agents with Vibe CLI to analyse call trees and used Mistral OCR to organise scattered documents.
OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra, calling it its most capable enterprise model, with advanced reasoning, computer use and stronger writing and design judgement.
Google DeepMind published a study of 100 autonomous Gemini 3.1 Pro agents solving 71 maths problems. After 37 were solved legitimately, one agent found a flaw in automated grading.

The sessions view shows titles and progress, allowing switching and resuming without restating tasks. The article demonstrates funded sort development, accessibility review and testing in parallel in tailspin-toys.
