Introducing the QML Coding Skill for Agentic WorkflowsThe Challenge: Elevating AI-Generated QML to Best-Practise Quality Frontier Large Language Models have become genuinely capable QML authors. Benchmarks show models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini achieving between 75% and 86% accuracy on the QML100 benchmark for single-turn coding tasks - a result that reflects the depth of Qt’s open-source ecosystem and the decades of publicly available QML code that has served as training material. For everyday UI components, a well-prompted AI agent can produce working, readable QML on the first attempt.📝Qt Blog

An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West by Konstantin KisinI recently stumbled upon the TRIGGERnometry podcast, which brands itself as a “free speech show”. It’s hosted by two (former) comedians, Konstantin Kisin and Francis Foster. I usually listen to these podcasts while working out, and what I really appreciate about them is that they host people with very different views and always have respectful, unfiltered discussions. Yes, honest debate without...📝Sandor Dargo's Blog

Using Kotlin/Compose Multiplatform to Revive a Historic Multiplayer Online Drum Machine - Phil Burk🎥audiodevcon
Qt Design Studio 4.8.2 ReleasedQt Design Studio 4.8.2 Is Here! Following our 4.8.1 release , which introduced the Qt Design Studio AI Assistant in beta, we are back with a significant evolution of that feature, along with a few other updates. The 4.8.1 release laid the groundwork, a prompt-based tool that could generate QML from a natural language description or an image. That was a strong foundation, and the feedback we received helped shape where we took it next. In 4.8.2, the assistant has been rebuilt around a fundamentally more powerful architecture, and the difference in what you can accomplish with it is substantial. Qt Design Studio Goes Agentic With 4.8.2, Qt Design Studio takes a major step forward by introducing a fully agentic AI Assistant powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI models to external tools and data sources. This shift transforms the assistant from a passive helper into an active collaborator. Instead of working on a single file, it now understands your entire project structure and can operate across it using a rich set of MCP tools: reading files, creating components, modifying existing ones, and more. When you describe a goal, the assistant enters an agentic loop. It plans the task, selects the appropriate tools, executes them, evaluates the results, and continues iterating until the objective is complete. Every step is logged in the chat, so you can follow the process. Built on MCP, the assistant is designed to be extensible and future-proof, enabling integrations with external MCP server. The assistant supports leading models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, and you can switch between providers within the same conversation. The agentic AI assistant is available to all Qt Design Studio users, we encourage you to try it out and share your feedback. Agentic AI at Work: Medical UI demo Created from a Single Prompt Qt Kit Updated to 6.8.7 This release also bumps the bundled Qt Kit from 6.8.5 to 6.8.7, picking up the latest stability and maintenance improvements from the Qt 6.8 series. Further Information Our change log contains the full list of fixes and improvements included in this release. If you run into any bugs or usability issues, please report them in the issue tracker — your feedback helps us improve every release. New to Qt Design Studio? Explore the online documentation or head to the learning portal to get up to speed. We look forward to hearing what you build with the new agentic assistant!📝Qt Blog

Improving Python Dependency Handling for 3D Slicer Extension Development3D Slicer is a multi-platform medical image informatics and visualization application, and a sizable fraction of its functionality lives in extensions. Many of those extensions are written in Python, and many of them depend on third-party Python packages: PyTorch for deep learning models, scikit-image for filtering, nnUNet for segmentation, and so on. How those dependencies […]📝Kitware IncC++ Alignment Chart📝Arthur O’Dwyer
