“Copilots are collaborative, but can only work on small scopes. Agents can do larger tasks, but are not collaborative. Both are very useful, but we realize that this real magic will happen when the AI has the ability to be both collaborative and independently powerful, all wrapped up in an intuitive interface. That is an AI flow, which is what we think comes after AI agents.”

Ramachandran: SWE-bench and HumanEval do not reflect real professional software engineering
“Most evals and benchmarks that exist out there for software development is kind of bogus. There's not really a better way of putting it. Like, okay, you have SweeBench, that's cool, no actual Professional work looks like Sweebench, like human eval, same thing.”

“This allows Cascade to be independent, but Cascade takes it further than any other agentic system. By also generating commands to be run.”
Ramachandran: Tracking developer trajectory allows AI to infer intent without prompting
“If we're actually being able to understand the kind of the trajectory of what developers are doing within the editor, right, if we actually are being able to see, like, oh, the developer just went and opened up this part of the directory and tried to view it, …”

Ramachandran: Coding agents needing constant human fixes are unready for autonomy
“If the agent there has to always get human involvement to keep on fixing itself, it's probably not ready to become a full end-to-end automated system, because then we're just going to turn into a linter where, like, it produces a bunch of things and no one loo…”
