From the API standpoint, it makes a lot of sense for us to be able to provide different types of providers. And we've found also that different models/providers are better at diffe…

To be clear, we still hire engineers who are early in their careers (and we've found them to be some of the best folks on our team). All the same principles apply as before: smart,…

In my experience, it still does take quite a bit of time (minutes) to run a task on these agentic LLMs (especially with the latest reasoning models), and in Cursor / Cline / other …

Some engineers on my team at Assembled and I have been a part of the alpha test of Codex, and I'll say it's been quite impressive. We’ve long used local agents like Cursor and Clau…

Thanks for the suggestion -- I'll take a look into adding this!
