   Epic's new 'vibe coded' Games Launcher preview is out, 46% faster than Steam

   Epic Games released a public preview of a rebuilt PC games launcher that it says was "vibe coded," describing it as faster, redesigned and now available on Linux alongside Windows and Mac. Epic claims the new launcher starts 46% faster than Steam from cold and 14% faster when restored from the system tray (a gain of about 0.06 seconds), and calls the new library "30x faster" without further detail; it says Keywords Studios ran the testing on its behalf. Epic Games Store VP and GM Martin Keely said the team rebuilt from scratch and used AI to write and review features, while developers supervised the whole process; the company suggests Unreal developers and competitive Fortnite and Rocket League players stay on the old launcher until feature parity arrives. The move follows CEO Tim Sweeney's announcement of a pivot to "AI-accelerated development," and a Bloomberg report that a director on an unannounced Disney title told staff there would be "no more hand-written code."

   Epic delays Disney shooter, mandates 'AI first' work with 'no more hand-written code'

   According to Bloomberg, Epic Games has delayed an unannounced shooter built with Disney that features Marvel and Star Wars characters; it had targeted March 2027 and no new date has been given. The company told the team to move to an "AI first" production model, with a director saying in an internal message there would be "No more hand-written code" and that artwork would be "generated with full AI workflows," and developers were directed to use tools such as Anthropic's Claude more. Epic communications director Jake Jones said the company is "embracing AI-accelerated development" led by Epic developers, while CEO Tim Sweeney confirmed on X that Epic has a "huge pivot underway" to retool developers for maximum AI acceleration, saying the aim is not to do the same work with fewer people.

   Claude Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 Astra push into video, testing video models' moats

   An industry analysis describes two ways general-purpose models are entering AI video from upstream: Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 (said to have launched Sept 22) writes front-end code — SVG, Canvas, Three.js, Remotion — renders frames and composites them with FFmpeg, spawning a creator-dubbed "Vibe Video" style; OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra (said to have launched Sept 3) acts as director-producer inside Blender, Unreal Engine and DaVinci Resolve, handling storyboards, previsualisation and rough cuts before handing rendering to video models such as Seedance. The piece says ByteDance's Jianying Hub, MiniMax Design and Kuaishou's Kling AI 4.0 and ikli are meanwhile pushing deeper into end-to-end creation workflows to defend their positions. View counts, API costs and an "80%-90% of AGI" claim in the article come from creators and bloggers and are unverified.
