AI-Generated Code Is Already Competing With Human Code — Daksh Gupta, Greptile
December 2025 was a watershed moment when AI coding agents became truly autonomous for the first time
“December, when the new models were released, was a watershed moment in history, as these products became truly autonomous in their programming for the first time.”
Greptile co-founder Daksh Gupta traces AI coding's evolution from tab autocomplete (2022) to multi-file editing (2024) to fully autonomous agents (2025), pinpointing December 2025 as the inflection point where agents could independently generate 100 merge requests per day. He now investigates whether this autonomous code quality holds up at production-grade enterprises like Nvidia, Coinbase, and American Express, directly challenging the assumption that agentic coding is only viable for indie developers.
