   DoorDash's Flux automates 130,000 engineering tasks in a month

   DoorDash has moved engineering agent workloads off developer laptops onto its in-house cloud platform Flux, which automated 130,000 engineering tasks in a single month in 2026 and handles more than 25,000 automated code reviews a week, with over 300 Playbooks and more than 10,000 weekly invocations, according to InfoQ Chinese. Flux rests on four platform primitives: cloud Sandboxes isolated with Firecracker micro virtual machines, an internal MCP gateway called Agent Gateway that scopes and logs access to internal systems, reusable YAML-defined Playbooks, and invocation surfaces spanning Slack, GitHub, Cron and the command line; DoorDash says its 95th-percentile target for end-to-end Sandbox setup is under five seconds. DoorDash started with automated code review, then extended Flux to CI triage, on-call, routine maintenance and ticket-driven development, and moved its Slack integration from private channels to public threads so engineers can watch agent runs.

   Ben Affleck's AI-assisted Netflix film 'Animals' draws poor reviews

   Ben Affleck's self-directed Netflix film "Animals" premiered on October 9, with post-production using tools built by his AI company InterPositive. Affleck publicly acknowledged that AI was used in several places but declined to say which shots, making him the first Oscar-level director to openly admit deep AI use in filmmaking. Reception was weak: Rotten Tomatoes critics' freshness stands at 33% and audience popcorn score at 42%, with a Metacritic score of 33, as reviewers called the narrative flat and muddled and the visuals cheap. Netflix acquired InterPositive for $587 million in March, with Affleck serving as senior adviser; the company says its models are not trained on unauthorized film works but on proprietary datasets shot in controlled studios, and that its tools adjust lighting and optical effects and remove some visual effects elements. Hollywood remains divided, with Martin Scorsese advising Black Forest Labs, Danny Boyle using generative AI for roughly 30 seconds of his new film and drawing boos, and Christopher Nolan voicing wariness of the technology.

   MSI Pro Max Edge AI+ review: a $5,499 mini workstation built to run local LLMs

   TechRadar reviewed the MSI Pro Max Edge AI+, a mini workstation with AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (16-core/32-thread Zen 5), Radeon 8060S integrated graphics and an XDNA NPU, paired with 128GB of unified memory (up to 96GB allocatable to the GPU) and a claimed 126 TOPS combined. The reviewer used Lemonade to download and manage local models, running Flux, Qwen3 and Qwen3 Coder to sort over 2,600 images, generate images and build a ten-page website in Visual Studio Code, and edited 4K Canon EOS R5 C footage without trouble. Drawbacks include the high price ($5,499 in the US, £5,999 in the UK), only 2.5GbE networking, and the setup effort local AI still requires.

   Comfy Desktop simplifies running local AI models

   TechSpot highlights Comfy Desktop, a desktop app that wraps the node-based ComfyUI engine and handles installation, the Python environment and dependencies, letting users run models such as Qwen, SDXL, Flux and Wan from templates. It supports multiple side-by-side ComfyUI installs with isolated, GPU-ready environments, one-click updates, snapshots and rollback, and migration of existing setups on Windows, macOS and Linux. The piece says the platform can tap over 5,000 community extensions (60,000+ nodes) and runs fully offline, free and open source.
