The weekend of August 1 and 2 was quiet on the AI announcements front — no model releases or major features to report. Two minor updates still stood out: Sourcegraph is removing a statistics page from its Amp code agents tool, and Cohere is announcing a strong audience result for its educational Twitch streams.
Briefs
- Amp removes the workspace leaderboard page — Sourcegraph explains that this page, which compared Amp users’ activity, had been reduced to a simple commit counter since agents now handle most of the coding work. Founder Quinn Slack now considers it of limited use, if not counterproductive. 🔗 source
- Cohere Labs’ Twitch streams number 1 in the tech category — Cohere Labs’ free ML Summer School series, which covers topics ranging from NLP in large language models (LLM) to building a career in tech, drew viewers from more than 20 countries and is now ranked number 1 in Twitch’s tech category. 🔗 source
What this means
Removing Amp’s leaderboard is a minor UI adjustment, but it reflects a broader shift in how code-agent tools measure user activity. A commit counter per workspace made sense as long as code was mostly written by hand; it loses relevance once agents produce most of the work on users’ behalf. This observation, stated directly by Sourcegraph’s founder, suggests that team metrics centered on human activity volume will need to be rethought as code agents become more widespread, in favor of indicators that better capture the value produced rather than the act of committing.
Cohere Labs’ Twitch stream ranking, meanwhile, confirms sustained interest in free live machine learning training. An international audience from more than 20 countries for an educational series led by an industry player shows that this format — accessible, free, and recurring — continues to find its audience, even amid the abundance of technical content available online.
