Astra does exactly the same sort of things that Sol or any of the previous agents do. They duplicate code, overengineer, miss the point, etc. I was very optimistic about it when it was announced and saw all the demos, but a week later I fin

Right now it’s only for the free tier, but given the recent trends I imagine it will make its way to paid tiers. Just consider how even paid streaming services are bringing in ads, or how TVs were caught using ACR to spy on us.

In a way, I think you have it backwards. Two mathematicians, through insight and thought, wrote out the proof over 1-2 years. It took OpenAI a cost of $15m and with 10,000 subagents; that's around 60-120 mathematician's salaries (

The only problem with this narrative is that they refused to allow the other coauthor to be listed because he worked at Anthropic. That is absolutely *ridiculous* in academia to deny authorship because of affiliation of the author worked on

My theory is that they’re pretending it’s about biological weapons but really they want to charge pharmaceutical companies $$$ to help with research. (Essentially a Mythos type segmentation for biology)

I’ve always wondered how this works when we only observe the final output and not the internal state that’s used to generate the output. The LLM presumably generates f(input, RNG) but we only can observe f(RNG).
