For developers, the operating assumption has been one engineer, one agent — the model Claude Code and similar tools. At VB Transform 2026, James Zou, associate professor of biomedical data science at Stanford University, argued that assumption is about to break: the next frontier isn't a single, more capable agent, it's tens of thousands of them collaborating. For developers and product builders, the most critical takeaway from Zou’s presentation is how these massive systems are orchestrated. Hi

As Europe swelters in a heatwave, residents probably don’t want to hear about ways to make their homes even hotter, but that’s what Polish property developer Citylink is talking about, with plans to dump waste heat from a new data center in Wrocław into the municipal district heating network.
