AI coding agents and electronica previews: the week in software dev
Two companies previewed embedded and AI development tools ahead of electronica 2026, while AI coding agents also featured in a security evaluation.
Embedded development led the week. Cavli Wireless and Applied Brain Research both tied announcements to electronica 2026, which runs November 10–13 in Munich. Cavli plans to unveil Cortex AI, which it describes as an autonomous firmware engineering assistant, alongside new cellular hardware. Applied Brain Research announced general availability of a speech AI SDK for Zephyr RTOS on Alif Semiconductor's Ensemble processors.
AI coding agents were also the backdrop to Endor Labs' announcement. The company says an independent research firm named it a Leader in an evaluation of agentic development security tools. Elsewhere, Paperclip, Inc. completed its acquisition of Apis Productions, and a chinadaily.com.cn report said winners of the WIC Distinguished Contribution Award at the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit backed open source and openness.
