Meta Ties Engineer Goals to AI Tool Adoption in AI-native Push

Meta is tying some employees’ performance to AI-tool usage, setting targets for AI-assisted coding and broader AI adoption across engineering teams as it pursues an “AI-native” company model. Goals include 65% of Creation Org engineers writing more than 75% of their committed code with AI, 50–80% AI-assisted code for the Scalable ML team, and 80% of mid-to-senior engineers adopting AI tools, with 55% of code changes agent-assisted. Leadership changes and organizational reshaping accompany the push, while Meta says rewards will focus on impact from AI rather than usage alone and doesn’t clearly outline how reviews will tie in.

GB Skeleton Masterclass: Innovation and Teamwork Deliver Gold Without a Home Track

Team GB’s skeleton program thrives on cutting-edge engineering, elite coaching, and talent pipelines rather than a home ice track. Matt Weston’s Milan-Cortina 2026 gold extends Britain’s skeleton medal haul to 10, built on sled design, wind-tunnel testing, and a culture of open knowledge sharing among athletes, plus investment and UK Sport funding with a high-performance environment at Bath’s push track. The squad’s camaraderie and systematic preparation—expanded leadership from coaches like Martins Dukurs—drive strong results even with limited ice time and, at times, challenging equipment choices.

Duffield's Record Gift Renames Cornell Engineering College

David A. Duffield, a Cornell alumnus and founder of PeopleSoft and Workday, is donating more than $520 million to Cornell, including a new $371.5 million pledge and a $100 million 2025 commitment, to establish the Cornell David A. Duffield College of Engineering. The historic gift—the largest in Cornell history—will fund a $250 million Duffield Legacy Fund and a $50 million priorities fund, with the remainder supporting the Duffield Launch Fund to upgrade infrastructure and advance research in areas like quantum engineering, artificial intelligence, and health as part of the university’s final campaign, “To Do the Greatest Good.” It also includes plans to expand Duffield Hall, cementing Duffield’s name for generations and continuing his broader support of Cornell programs.
