We're always iterating and improving Q Developer Agent. Today we launched three new abilities:
* unit tests
* documentation
* code reviews
AND as of today, Q Dev Agent is #1 on SWE-Bench Verified benchmark, resolving a massive 54.8% of issues.
Agentic development truly transforms how we write code.

Doing the 🇺🇸🦃 thing today, first time in a grill, hopefully not overcooking. What temps do people use? 425F the whole time, or 500F for first hour, the drop to ~400F? Just in case, I have a side dish.
