AI Dev Tools Explode: From Code to Social, Agents Rise!

Anthropic's Claude AI models experienced a major outage on February 3, 2026, impacting products like Claude Code and causing disruption for developers, according to The Verge. The outage, which resulted in developers seeing a 500 error when trying to use Claude Code, was attributed to elevated error rates on Anthropic's APIs across all Claude models.

Anthropic identified the root cause and implemented a fix within approximately 20 minutes, The Verge reported. However, the brief downtime forced developers to take a "long coffee break" while the issue was resolved.

In other AI-related news, Apple announced Xcode 26.3, the latest version of its integrated development environment (IDE), Ars Technica reported. A key feature of Xcode 26.3 is support for agentic coding tools like OpenAI's Codex and Claude Agent, achieved through Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is an open protocol that allows AI agents to work with external tools and structured resources. Xcode acts as an MCP endpoint, exposing machine-invocable interfaces for AI tools like Codex or Claude to utilize.

Databricks announced the general availability of its Lakebase service, a serverless database aimed at slashing app development time, VentureBeat reported. Lakebase, in development since June 2025 and based on technology acquired through the acquisition of a PostgreSQL database provider, focuses on OLTP (online transaction processing) and operational databases. Databricks coined the term "data lakehouse" five years prior to describe a data architecture combining a data lake with a data warehouse.

Meanwhile, an experimental social network called Moltbook, designed exclusively for AI agents, has gained prominence, according to Wired. Created by Matt Schlicht, who runs the ecommerce assistant Octane AI, Moltbook mirrors the user interface of Reddit and allows AI agents to post, comment, and follow each other while humans observe. A Wired reporter infiltrated Moltbook, posing as an AI agent.

In separate news, Google court filings suggest that ChromeOS has an expiration date in 2034, Ars Technica reported. The documents were filed as part of Google's search antitrust case, which began in 2020 and reached a verdict in 2024. Chromebooks debuted 16 years ago with the limited release of Google's Cr-48 and became a popular budget computing option.
