TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Cadence v8.4 introduces a multi-model coding harness that separates different software development lifecycle roles across various models. This approach aims to improve code quality by ensuring that the model writing the code is distinct from the model reviewing it and the one triaging bugs. The harness allows users to customize each phase of development with different AI providers, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the coding process.
