arXiv:2608. 13730v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Empirical reports on the true cost of AI-intensive software development remain scarce, and the few that exist are easy to get wrong in ways that never surface in the final number.
arXiv:2606. 11215v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) usage in recent years has become increasingly widespread in the Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED) community.
arXiv:2608. 06640v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The widespread integration of AI coding assistants offers undeniable boosts to engineering velocity.
arXiv:2606. 05770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI is changing how software engineers work, but it often comes with hidden burdens and costs.
arXiv:2608. 08709v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The reliability of AI generative models is typically measured by output correctness, yet in practice it depends on the effort required to verify those outputs.
arXiv:2608. 17271v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial superintelligence (ASI) requires AI to move beyond mastering existing knowledge toward exploring the unknown, creating new knowledge, and turning new ideas into verifiable results.
arXiv:2606. 04402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern reasoning models can allocate different amounts of test-time computation, such as thinking tokens, model calls, or compute budget, to different tasks.
arXiv:2608. 13940v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI research agents (AIRA) can now propose, implement, and evaluate their own machine learning experiments, but progress on frontier tasks is throttled by cost: a candidate solution can be written in minutes, whereas evaluating it can take hours to days of GPU time.
arXiv:2607. 05125v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents an exploratory evaluation of how increasing levels of AI autonomy affect software development productivity, requirement adherence, and developer cognitive workload.
arXiv:2606. 12848v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for tasks once reserved for trained researchers, including hypothesis generation, specification choice, and drafting conclusions.
arXiv:2607. 01810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Open-source projects depend on a steady inflow of newcomers.
arXiv:2607. 13034v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly automate multi-step engineering and informatics workflows, yet they rarely ask how much effort a task actually requires.
arXiv:2608. 13884v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid adoption of AI coding assistants and autonomous agentic development systems has coincided with major changes in the pace and structure of open-source software engineering.
