This week brought big changes to the world of AI coding helpers. These are smart computer programs that help people write code faster and better.

The biggest news came from Google. They made their AI coding assistant called Jules available to everyone. Jules was being tested for months, and now anyone can use it. During testing, thousands of programmers used Jules to make over 140,000 code improvements. Jules got much better at planning how to write code and can now work with pictures and text together.

Another major announcement was OpenAI releasing GPT-5. This new AI model is much smarter than the old one. It's especially good at helping people write computer code. GPT-5 can build whole websites and apps with just one simple request. It can even make games that look good and work well. The AI understands things like colors, spacing, and how to make websites look pretty.

But there's a problem with AI coding companies. A report showed that many of these businesses lose money even when they're popular. The reason is that using the smartest AI models costs a lot of money. Companies like Windsurf, which makes AI coding tools, spend more money running their service than they make from customers. This happened because the best AI models are expensive to use, and coding companies need the newest and best models to stay competitive.

Some companies are trying to fix this problem by making their own AI models instead of buying them from others. This could help them save money and make more profit. The week showed both the exciting progress in AI coding help and the business challenges these companies face.
