Right, but this leads to my main question: is this still necessary? By analogy with code, do we still need code to be maintainable/readable if machines write it all? (Obviously for now the answer is yes, but I’m not sure this will be t

I know it's incredibly presumptuous for me, a nobody, to say this to 25 Fields Medalists, but: Perhaps you are misaligned. Who decided the goal of math must be human insight? First off, some mathematical truths might simply be far be

There’s one thing I constantly see agents tripping over, I’m not sure what the right word for it would be, but it basically boils down to “making changes in the right places”. They seem to have very poor grasp of where things are supposed t

I’m not a fan of OAI to say the least, but having worked at similar companies, my guess is that it’s just too difficult to prove/disprove beyond a doubt, and they have other priorities

I think the line between regular LLM "endpoints" and agents/harnesses is going to become more and more blurry until it's a meaningless distinction. When you're using ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini etc. you're

I believe the older models are being gradually phased out, newer ones have no availability issues

Just like Claude Code and others it has the same —-dangerously-skip-permissions flag, auto approves everything

Antigravity has been also rapidly improving lately, and your can also use any of the open coding harnesses. But I mostly meant “harness” as in your workflow/loop setup.

People have been sleeping on Gemini lately but these last few Flash releases (which were very rapid) are damn good. These sort of fast and cheap models are great for tasks that are verifiable and can be retried infinitely (like coding), you

Best case scenario, this ends up being abused in order to feed LLMs crap responses (or worse).

This is incredible, I wish I could have this in my city. Can’t help but wondering, how will this look like if we had AI try to “augment” these maps in real time (maybe using street view images?). I wonder if it would be playable in reasonab

Nowadays most “LLM” endpoints include some sort of server side harness as well, and I’d bet more than one model involved, so it’s really just agents all the way down

> only one can win Why? I mean, if you assume that the moment some threshold of intelligence is reached it will suddenly explode and self-improve at a pace no one would be able to ever catch up with, then yes probably only one can win. B

I’m entirely confident that this technically pointless, especially when you consider open models exist. I believe they know damn well that this will lead nowhere, and are only doing this to mitigate criticism.

It baffles me that someone can just send a PR without knowing the gist of how it works and why it’s done this way. If you can’t answer this basic question then why tf do we even need you around?

While the demo is incredible, I think that in most practical use-cases, models aren't very useful without tools (search, code execution, etc.). Even if we assume reasoning latency drops to ~0ms (AFAIK this demo doesn't include rea

I tried letting Fable have a few passes at my docs (ultracode) and the output was basically unreadable. Nothing a human would ever write. I wonder if limiting them to a certain style like STE upfront would make them perform better/wors
