Drupal 12 is scheduled for the week of 7 December 2026, and Drupal 10 reaches end of life on 9 December 2026. Both dates sit on the same page of the Drupal core release schedule, two lines apart, and most people running a Drupal 10 site have noticed neither. The first alpha of the new major was tagged on 2 September...

Most WordPress plugin development follows the same arc. Somebody needs a booking form, a feed importer or an extra field at checkout, a developer writes it, it works, everyone moves on. Two years later the site is stuck on an old version of WordPress because nobody is confident that plugin will survive an update, and...
WordPress 7.0 shipped on 20 May 2026 under the release name Armstrong, six weeks later than the date on the original 2026 schedule, and it is the most consequential core release for agencies since the block editor. The headline is that core can now talk to generative AI models. The detail that matters more is that core...
Drupal AI has stopped being a scatter of provider-specific contributed modules that whoever needed them bolted on separately. It is now one coordinated project with an abstraction layer underneath it, a security-team-covered release cycle, and a packaged product in Drupal CMS that offers to switch parts of it on during...
Drupal hosting is where most of the “Drupal is slow” reputation comes from, and it is almost always a purchasing decision rather than a software problem. A site gets built properly, then goes live on a plan priced for a brochure site with a handful of PHP files. The result is a content management system with a serious...
The case for moving off OpenAI got considerably stronger during 2026. Open-weight models reached a level where the quality gap on ordinary production work became narrow, published pricing undercut the frontier providers, and the weights themselves became downloadable, which turns a supplier relationship into an option....
Self-hosting Kimi K3 became technically possible on 27 July 2026, when Moonshot AI published the weights for a 2.8-trillion-parameter model alongside production inference support. A great many organisations read that news and concluded they could now run frontier-class reasoning on their own hardware and stop paying...
The Kimi K3 API arrived with an unusual combination behind it: frontier-adjacent benchmark results, aggressive pricing, and downloadable weights. Moonshot AI published those weights on 27 July 2026, which makes K3 the largest openly available model released so far and the first time a model at this scale has been...
Choosing between software licensing models is one of the most consequential strategic decisions founders make when building enterprise applications in 2026. Pick the wrong contract format and you can limit your distribution reach, restrict SaaS scaling opportunities, or accidentally force yourself to share proprietary...
Drupal web development occupies a particular place in the content management landscape: less talked about than WordPress, but trusted by governments, universities, and large organisations for sites where structure, security, and scale matter. Search interest in Drupal web development has climbed, and for good reason,...
