Smarter onboarding and planning with Grafana Assistant: How to ensure observability is baked in from the start

It's Monday afternoon and that feature you've been working on is mostly done. There's just one item still sitting untouched at the bottom of the ticket: "Add monitoring." You know you should. You also know the sprint ends tomorrow, nobody on the team is an observability expert, and figuring out what to measure—let alone how to write the PromQL for it—feels like a project all on its own.

Stop Fine-Tuning Everything: A Decision Framework for Model Adaptation

The default playbook for adapting a foundation model looks like this: grab a pre-trained model, collect labeled data, fine-tune, deploy. It works often enough that teams rarely question it, but fine-tuning is one of six adaptation strategies. Picking the wrong one costs you weeks of engineering time and thousands in compute - sometimes for accuracy you'll never get back. The real question isn't how to fine-tune. It's whether you should.

How R8 made Kotlin Coroutines on Android 2x faster

Posted by Andrei Shikov, Senior Software Engineer, Android Toolkit and Jonathan Starup, Software Engineer, R8 Team Starting from AGP 9.2.0, R8 optimizes most Atomic*FieldUpdater calls into Unsafe variants that perform 2x to 4x better on common operations. This has a particularly large impact on the kotlinx.atomicfu library that implements atomics for kotlinx.coroutines, making launching and cancelling coroutines up to 2x faster.
