The AI world is getting ‘loopy’
AI developers are increasingly adopting 'agentic loops,' where autonomous AI agents continuously prompt other agents to perform tasks like code optimization and architectural improvements.

Why it matters
The transition to agentic loops could fundamentally change software development by allowing AI to handle complex, ongoing maintenance and creation tasks without constant human intervention.
On Friday, Claude Code creator Boris Cherny made an appearance at Meta’s @Scale conference and, surprisingly, the first question from the audience was about loops.
