Pydantic is going to @europython.eu 2026 🐍 @summerscope.bsky.social and @marcelotryle.bsky.social are speaking. Jiri Kuncar and @laisbsc.bsky.social will be roaming the halls with stickers (ask away). If you use any dev tool we maintain, say hi. Feedback, requests, and complaints all welcome.

The end-to-end AI engineering stack AI observability at scale without fail with Pydantic Logfire. Iterate with Pydantic Evals. Build type-safe agents with Pydantic AI. Track costs with AI Gateway.
"What I want most: software that helps me express, formalise, and include my opinions rather than enforcing its opinions on me." In the 3rd part of the Box Model series, @summerscope.bsky.social talks about the design process, intuition, and cargo cult prompting. pydantic.dev/articles/lie...
Design Process Is Exhaust, Not Propulsion: On Intuition, AI, and Adaptive Software
Why rigid design process survives when results don't — a critique of design methodology, a case for intuition, and a vision for software that adapts to users instead of the other way around.

A model discovered a contradiction between the Bible and biology textbooks. It had access to a lot of compute so it consumed an entire data center's worth of it, debating the Immaculate Conception with itself. This talk is 15 mins of real production AI failures and what it took to debug them.
"The best navigation is the kind nobody notices." On Part 2 of Lies, Damn Lies, and the Box Model, @summerscope talks about the design process behind Logfire's sidebar. The trade-offs, and what "directionally correct" means in practice. Part 3 (and final) out tomorrow.
AI observability pricing is a lot. We modeled three scenarios across Logfire, Arize AX, Langfuse, and LangSmith. Same assumptions, real numbers. At 5 users and 50M spans/mo, Logfire is between 8 and 40 times cheaper than competitors. pydantic.dev/articles/ai-observability-pricing-comparison
It's 2026 and AI can write code from a napkin sketch. Still, our lead design engineer spent an hour debugging a scrollbar with help from Claude Code. A story about CSS, containing blocks, and the things AI can't really see - part 1. pydantic.dev/articles/lie...
Lies, Damn Lies, and the Box Model (Part 1)
A human and an AI debug a CSS layout issue together. A story about overflow, containing blocks, and the deceptive simplicity of the web platform.

I'm looking forward to returning to streaming at 9:30 AM UTC tomorrow 27th March. Please join myself and Petr Victorin as we begin a project to work on CPython's `str` implementation - targeting optimizations when exchanging data with Rust UTF-8 strings. www.youtube.com/live/fXeqeFX...

"How do agentic coding tools work? I have no idea. And you probably also don't." That was @mitsuhiko.at opening his talk at PyAI. What follows is one of the most useful 20 minutes on working with agents we've ever seen. youtu.be/8RHYyRUxVrA

Pydantic models were using more memory than expected. We dug in with Memray, found the bottleneck, and replaced it with a Rust bitset. 55% less memory. Faster validation. Full deep dive on the new blogpost pydantic.dev/articles/pyd...

A few weeks ago our founder announced Monty, a minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust, for running code written by AI agents. People got excited. @sa.muelcolvin.com just wrote up the full story on why he's excited about it and you should be too. pydantic.dev/articles/pyd...

We asked Adrian and Peter from @pydantic.dev what would block the Rust-accelerated Python trend from growing even more... Their answers:
Pydantic AI Gateway is now in open beta 🚀 One API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and Bedrock. BYOK and Built-in providers. Real cost limits. Built-in observability. Zero translation delays. Free during beta. pydantic.dev/ai-gateway

Some personal (very belated*) news, I've moved to the bay area! Let me know if you're in SF or Palo Alto and want to get coffee. Also, last reminder that we have the inaugural Py AI meetup with @pydantic.dev in SF on Tuesday. Register now: luma.com/gjtfecc7 * I actually got here in the summer.
I added two new demos showing durable agent patterns (parallel vs sequential) with @pydantic.dev AI + @dbos.dev: - Deep Research: large fan-out parallel workflows - Twenty Questions: long sequential subagent chaining Both are long-running, so durable execution is necessary to survive crashes.
SentinelOne just announced their Purple AI MCP Server at #OneCon. Now, you can access SentinelOne’s security platform with your Pydantic AI MCP agent! Check out their GitHub repo: github.com/Sentinel-one...

I wrote a tutorial on integrating DBOS with Logfire. It's super easy to set up (kudos to the @pydantic.dev team!) -> just a few lines to configure the exporter and your Logfire write token. Once it's running, you'll get a unified view of your app with logs + traces in one place.
I'm teaming up with @sa.muelcolvin.com to launch a new meetup series, Py AI. Our first one is November 11 in San Francisco with talks from @pydantic.dev, @modal-labs.bsky.social, ReductoAI and @fastmcp.bsky.social. Hosted by our friends at pebblebed.com RSVP here: luma.com/gjtfecc7

Several people (thanks to @mitsuhiko.at and @sa.muelcolvin.com) noted early on that DBOS had too many dependencies. In the latest Python release, we trimmed it down to just 6 direct deps while still implementing durable workflows and queues in one library. It's lightweight (for real).
I think this might be MASSIVE: Pydantic AI is getting support for @vercel.com AI Elements streaming, making it easy to build React or Next.js frontends for Pydantic AI agents. Video demo in the PR: github.com/pydantic/pyd...
Vercel AI Elements types by samuelcolvin · Pull Request #2923 · pydantic/pydantic-ai
