Today’s AI Tool Breakdown: Graphite
Quick overview
Graphite is a code review platform that makes AI-powered development teams faster. It lets you stack pull requests without waiting for reviews and includes AI that catches bugs you'd miss. Think of it like having a really smart coding buddy who never sleeps.
How to use it
Visit graphite.dev and sign up with your GitHub account
Install the Graphite CLI tool or VS Code extension
Connect your existing repositories through the dashboard
Start creating "stacked" pull requests using
gt createLet Diamond AI review your code automatically
Use the unified inbox to manage all your team's reviews
Copy/paste starter script
Sign up at graphite.dev, install the CLI with npm install -g @graphite/cli, then run gt auth to connect your GitHub account.
Real-world use cases
Speed up code reviews for AI development teams
Catch bugs automatically with AI before human review
Build features faster by stacking changes without waiting
Get instant feedback on pull requests with smart notifications
Pro tips
Use the "stacking" feature to build on unmerged code
Let Diamond AI review first, then get human feedback
Set up Slack notifications to stay in the loop
Free vs paid
Free: Individual use, basic code review, GitHub sync.
Paid: $25/month for teams, AI reviews, merge queues, advanced features.
Alternatives
GitHub's built-in reviews — simpler but less AI-powered
CodeRabbit — similar AI reviews but no stacking workflow
Linear's code tools — good for project management integration

Today In AI News, The Top 4 Stories (And Why They Matter)
This matters because: Meta just showed us what the future of computing looks like — glasses that read your mind through tiny muscle movements in your wrist.
Quick summary: At Meta Connect, Zuckerberg unveiled Ray-Ban Display glasses with a tiny screen in one lens, controlled by a neural wristband that detects hand gestures. The $799 glasses launch September 30 and can show notifications, take photos, and run apps. It's like having a computer screen floating in your vision.
This matters because: China's making its boldest move yet to cut ties with American AI technology, potentially reshaping the global chip market.
Quick summary: China's internet watchdog told major companies like Alibaba and ByteDance to stop buying Nvidia's RTX Pro 6000D chips. The ban comes as tensions rise over AI technology access and China pushes for self-sufficiency. Think of it like switching from imported cars to building your own factory.
This matters because: If Musk is right, we could see the first AI that matches human intelligence across all tasks by year's end.
Quick summary: After Grok 4 topped leaderboards in reasoning tests, Elon announced Grok 5 training starts soon and might achieve AGI. xAI's been moving fast since starting in March 2023, powered by their massive Colossus supercomputer. It's like claiming your race car might break the sound barrier.
This matters because: Google just proved AI can solve problems that stump the world's best programmers, showing we're getting closer to AI that truly thinks like humans.
Quick summary: Gemini 2.5 Deep Think won gold at the world's toughest programming contest, solving 10 out of 12 problems including one that none of the 139 human teams could crack. It finished second overall and solved the hardest problem in just 30 minutes using game theory. Think of it like a chess master finding a winning move nobody else could see.
