How do AI coding agents work? We look under the hood.
SMRTR summary
AI coding agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google use sophisticated architectures combining multiple LLMs with context compression and multi-agent coordination to build complete applications. These systems overcome memory limitations through dynamic context management and tool integration, but require careful human oversight due to potential security risks and mixed productivity results for experienced developers.
