    Can you try a simpler less programmery version? "are any of my recent blog drafts unpublished and nearly ready to go?"

    OpenAI created a benchmark for this: https://openai.com/index/paperbench/

    It would be really useful to see these evaluated across some of the same evals that the original R1 and deepseek's distills were evaluated on.

    Hey, that's me! Happy to answer any questions about how this works if folks are interested.

    I've spent tons of time evaluating o1-preview on SWEBench-Verified. For one, I speculate OpenAI is using a very basic agent harness to get the results they've published on SWEBench…

    Is it stateful? Like can I do a run, read the results, and then do another run from that point?

    The memorization use case is brilliant. Put your talk track for a presentation in and say “help me memorize this by quizzing me”. Thanks!

    I like the ambition! You can do some amount of iterative and visual data transformation in Weave now. But maybe like 10% of what you can do with Pandas. Pandas is awesome and lingu…

    The response here makes me think most commenters don’t have experience with this particular footgun. To clarify: Python can gc your task before it starts, or during its execution i…

    nbdev2, which this article is about, is a solution to this problem. It makes notebooks testable, composable, versionable, and more.
