Meta's new LLM-based test generator is a sneak peek to the future of development
Summary: Meta's TestGen-LLM, an AI-based test generator, offers a glimpse into the future of developer productivity. The system uses large language models (LLMs) to recommend fully-formed software improvements that are verified for correctness and code coverage. TestGen-LLM focuses on improving existing human-written tests and has been integrated into Meta's software engineering workflows. The approach, called Assured LLM-based Software Engineering, uses multiple LLMs, prompts, and hyper-parameters to generate candidate improvements and select the best one.

Show HN: OK-Robot: open, modular home robot framework for pick-and-drop anywhere
Summary: Researchers developed OK-Robot, an open, modular framework for zero-shot, language-conditioned pick-and-drop tasks in homes. Combining Vision-Language Models, navigation primitives, and grasping primitives, OK-Robot offers an integrated solution without requiring training. Tested in 10 real-world homes, it achieved a 58.5% success rate in open-ended tasks, setting a new state-of-the-art in Open Vocabulary Mobile Manipulation with 1.8x the performance of prior work. In cleaner environments, its success rate increased to 82%.
