Newsletter #4
Welcome to the 4th edition of our newsletter.
It's been great to see this community keep growing, with more conversations, ideas, and people coming together to understand what AI Native means.
We hope the past few weeks have brought you some new ideas, useful conversations, or small steps forward in your own AI Native journey.
Let's get into it.

What we've been writing about
The Blind Spot in the Machine: What 25,500 LLM Evaluations Reveal About AI Hiring Bias
Bogdan, one of our engineers, ran 25,500 evaluations across ten LLMs to test for demographic bias in résumé screening. The headline: 45% of résumé pairs showed unjustified score shifts tied to changes in demographic markers like first names. The bias rarely shows up in the explanations themselves. The models invent different justifications for identical work history once the name changes.
Why AI Adoption Is a Leadership Problem
Pini, our CEO, argues that AI adoption succeeds or fails on the people side. The 2025 DORA report puts it well: AI works as an amplifier. A strong engineering team becomes meaningfully more capable; a weaker one gets worse. The post draws on Odevo's experience to show what changes when leaders actively coach teams through the transition.
Good Ideas Should Not Need Good Marketing to Survive (Part 2 of 2)
Part 2 of Pini's EEEG framework series. He argues that platform economics currently reward engagement over substance, which forces valuable ideas to depend on marketing. AI changes that by making it easier for practitioners with deep knowledge but weak writing to publish. He proposes capturing insights structurally once, then rendering them in different formats.

What's happening in our community
AI Native DevCon London 2026: Our Recap
Last week we sponsored AI Native DevCon at The Brewery in London, with around 600 attendees over two days. Pini was on the "From Pipelines to Prompts" panel. Daniel Jones, our Head of Product, ran a session with Odevo's Tomasz Maj on AI Native adoption at scale. And our book signing ran out of books :)
AI Native Netherlands #10 at Yuma
The 10th edition of AI Native Netherlands happened last week at Yuma in Amsterdam. Great talks, and too much pizza like always. Thanks to Yuma for sponsoring, and to everyone who came along. We're already deep into prep for the next ones.
AI Native: The Next Revolution after Cloud Native (Pini at DevWorld)
Pini's keynote from DevWorld 2026 is now up. His full thesis on why AI Native is the next architecture-level shift after Cloud Native.
Daniel Jones & Tomasz Maj: More software, faster. Odevo's AI Native transformation
The recording of Daniel and Tomasz's joint DevCon session is up on YouTube. They walk through what Odevo actually changed (process, tooling, behaviours) to get the velocity gains you've seen in the case study and podcast episode.
03 · Training
Public agentic coding training, September 10–11, Amsterdam
Our first public agentic coding training is on September 10–11 in Amsterdam. Early bird tickets are almost out and the cohort is close to full.

Articles we thought were interesting
- Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are out the team is excited about both. Have you tried them yet? Reply and tell us what you've used them for.
- VibeOS, a fully hallucinated operating system worth a watch for the concept alone.
- A supply chain attack targeting AI dev tools malware injecting hooks into Claude Code, Gemini, Cursor, and VS Code via
.github/setup.js, harvesting credentials across GitHub, AWS, Azure, GCP. Worth knowing about if you're running these tools in production environments.
05 · Coming up
What we're working on
A few things we're working on that we'll share more about soon:
- A public AI Pattern Cards workshop in Amsterdam
- A whitepaper on Software Factories at Enterprise Scale
- A second whitepaper introducing our Ladder Framework for AI adoption in large enterprises
That's it for this edition.
Thanks for being part of our AI Native community and for helping shape the conversations around what this wave means. We're excited to keep learning, building, and exploring this space together.
See you in two weeks.
