AI rewrites the rulebook as AWS puts software on fast forward
In a move that could shake the foundations of software development, AWS introduced its AI Driven Development Lifecycle at DevSphere 2025 in Bengaluru. By placing artificial intelligence at the center of coding, testing, and deployment, AWS says its new methodology can shrink months of work into days or even hours.
The framework was unveiled by Swami Sivasubramanian, Vice President of Agentic AI at AWS. It is already in play with companies like Wipro and HackerRank. Wipro reported building four production ready modules in just 20 hours using the new approach. Tools like Amazon Q Developer and Kiro, an AI powered integrated development environment, help automate workflows from design to delivery.
The launch also included the AWS AI Native Builders Community, a global network of developers and tech leaders sharing breakthroughs and working through the realities of generative AI in practice.
With this move, AWS positions AI not just as an assistant but as the new engine behind enterprise software. As complexity climbs, the company is pushing the idea that AI should not only write the code but define how it is built. Now developers must decide if they are ready to build with it or be built out.

Kombai launches first AI coding agent built for front end developers
India based startup Kombai has officially launched its domain specific AI coding agent tailored for front end development. Backed by Stellaris Venture Partners and Foundation Capital, Kombai is positioning itself as the go to tool for developers building user interfaces and production grade web apps.
Unlike generic AI tools that offer code suggestions or boilerplate snippets, Kombai is designed to understand detailed instructions, work with real codebases, and produce usable components. It can build entire UIs from text or design inputs, refactor large code blocks, and convert Figma designs directly into deployable code. Kombai integrates with popular IDEs like VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.
In testing, Kombai achieved a 72 percent pass rate in code reviews and compiled code successfully 96 percent of the time. Competing tools powered by Sonnet 4 and Gemini 2.5 showed significantly lower results. Kombai currently supports React and follows best practices across more than 30 frontend libraries.
CEO Dipanjan Dey said the tool fills a gap where most AI solutions are either too shallow or too general. Kombai will expand to support Vue, Svelte, Laravel, and React Native in the coming months. With a freemium model in place, the team plans to reach over one hundred thousand developers within the next year.

Fujitsu begins building 10000 qubit superconducting quantum computer targeting 2030 finish
Fujitsu has officially kicked off development of a superconducting quantum computer that will exceed 10000 qubits, with completion aimed for fiscal 2030. The project marks a major leap in Japan’s national quantum agenda and positions Fujitsu as a global contender in the race for fault tolerant quantum systems.
The upcoming system will feature 250 logical qubits and adopt Fujitsu’s STAR architecture, an early fault tolerant framework engineered for real world applications. A key focus is the use of superconducting technology, which enables precise and scalable quantum operations through Josephson Junctions. Fujitsu plans to expand this foundation by integrating advanced interconnects, high density packaging, and efficient cryogenic control to minimize energy loss and scale chip complexity.
Supported in part by Japan’s NEDO initiative, the project will be carried out in collaboration with AIST and RIKEN through 2027. The work falls under NEDO’s broader Post 5G infrastructure program to fast track industrial quantum computing.
Beyond 2030, Fujitsu aims to fuse superconducting and diamond spin qubit technologies and realize a 1000 logical qubit system by 2035. The company also plans to tie quantum development into next generation HPC platforms powered by its MONAKA processor and the forthcoming FugakuNEXT.
This signals a long term push to create unified platforms combining quantum and classical computing for science, industry, and national competitiveness.

Hackers exploit zero day flaw in SAP to hijack enterprise systems
A newly discovered zero day vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver has been used in live attacks targeting large organizations across Europe and Asia. The flaw, listed as CVE 2025 27943, allows remote attackers to execute commands on unpatched systems without needing credentials or authentication.
Security firm Onapsis, which uncovered the attacks, reports that hackers are exploiting the Java Message Service in NetWeaver to bypass access controls entirely. The method enables complete system takeover while avoiding most security detection tools, making it especially dangerous for critical infrastructure.
SAP has released a patch and is urging customers to update their systems immediately. But many enterprises face delays in applying updates due to the size and complexity of their deployments. This lag creates a high risk window that attackers are already exploiting.
“This is as bad as it gets for SAP customers,” said Mariano Nunez, CEO of Onapsis. “It gives attackers direct access to the core of enterprise operations.”
SAP is used by most of the world's largest companies to manage business processes. Experts are warning system admins to audit logs, deploy temporary mitigations, and restrict external access until updates are fully in place. -
