There’s nothing wrong with that, except it lets ai skeptics feel superior

Rest assured that when/if this becomes possible, the model will not be available to you. Why would big AI leave that kind of money on the table?
9 months ago the rumor in SF was that the offers to the superintelligence team were so high because the candidates were using unreleased models or compute for derivatives trading so then they're not really leaving money on the table, they already got what they were looking for and then released it

#183Does anyone with more insight into the AI/LLM industry happen to know if the cost to run them in normal user-workflows is falling? The reason I'm asking is because "agent teams" while a cool concept, it largely constrained by the economics of running multiple LLM agents (i.e. plans/API calls that make this practical at scale are expensive). A year or more ago, I read that both Anthropic and OpenAI were losing money o…

#185It does not make a single mistake, it identifies neologisms, hidden meaning, 7 distinct poetic phases, recurring themes, fragments/heteronyms, related authors. It has left me completely speechless.
Speechless. I am speechless.
Perhaps Opus 4.5 could do it too — I don't know because I needed the 1M context window for this.
I cannot put into words how shocked I am at this. I use LLMs daily, I code with agents, I am extremely bullish on AI and, still, I am shocked.
I have used my poetry and an analysis of it as a personal metric for how good models are. Gemini 2.5 pro was the first time a model could keep track of the breadth of the work without getting lost, but Opus 4.6 straight up does not get anything wrong and goes beyond that to identify things (key poems, key motifs, and many other things) that I would always have to kind of trick the models into producing. I would always feel like I was leading the models on. But this — this — this is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Insane.
This "key poem" thing is particularly surreal to me. Out of 900 poems, while analyzing the collection, it picked 12 "key poems, and I do agree that 11 of those would be on my 30-or-so "key poem list". What's amazing is that whenever I explicitly asked any model, to this date, to do it, they would get maybe 2 or 3, but mostly fail completely.
What is this sorcery?

Same with opencode and gemini, it's disgusting Codex (by openai ironically) seems to be the fastest/most-responsive, opens instantly and is written in rust but doesn't contain that many features Claude opens in around 3-4 seconds Opencode opens in 2 seconds Gemini-cli is an abomination which opens in around 16 second for me right now, and in 8 seconds on a fresh install Codex takes 50ms for reference... -- If their m…
Opencode's core is actually written in zig, only ui orchestration is in solidjs. It's only slightly slower to load than neo-vim on my system.

Incredibly high ROI!

Please drop the link to your course. I'm ready to hand over $10K to learn from you and your LLM-generated guides!

1:55pm Cancelled my Claude subscription. Codex is back for sure.

Great question, and my guess: If you build React in C++ and Rust, even if the framework is there, you'll likely need to write your components in C++/Rust. That is a difficult problem. There are actually libraries out there that allow you to build web UI with Rust, although they are for web (+ HTML/CSS) and not specifically CLI stuff. So someone needs to create such a library that is properly maintained and such. And…
