Hello and welcome to AI Decoded. Today we’re talking about generative AI’s breakout star: coding. Half of all large-language-model use is now dedicated to writing software, and companies like Cursor and Windsurf can complete entire projects with minimal human oversight. According to GitHub’s 2024 survey, over 97 percent of developers have tried AI coding tools, and Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella says AI now writes up to 30 percent of its code.

Startups are booming: Cursor raised $900 million at a $9 billion valuation, and OpenAI snapped up Windsurf for $3 billion. Performance is skyrocketing, too. OpenAI’s chief product officer recently said, “Forever after that point computers will be better than humans at writing code.” And Google DeepMind’s Nikolay Savinov predicts “superhuman coding AI systems that will be totally unrivaled.”

With context windows soon to hit 10 million tokens, these tools will absorb entire codebases at once. That’s your one-minute update on AI’s coding revolution. I’m [Host Name], and this is AI Decoded.
