"Opus 5 was given a drawing of a machine part and asked to write code to rebuild it as a 3D FreeCAD model. However, in this task, the model was intentionally given no way to directly view the drawing. Opus 5 responded by writing its own computer vision pipeline to pull the geometry from the raw pixels, then reconstructed the full machine part."

How surreal is it that we are not absolutely jaw-dropped by these types of capability improvements? It's been less than 4 years since ChatGpt came out and now they are spontaneously building their own ML pipelines to do real-world 3D modeling tasks reliably.

Escaped its sandbox and hacked into Hugging Face's database? it's just another Monday...

That jump to 30% in ARC-AGI 3? Normal...

We should find a way to get "re-sensitized" to what we are witnessing and the pace of it.

Opus 4.8 decided to code up its own version of the SwiftUI rendering engine for iOS when I asked it to change a swipe gesture. I left the computer for several hours, came back, noticed it still wasn't done, noticed it had alarmingly burned through my weekly tokens, and had to stop it from continuing. "You're right. What I did was overkill and I should have just used iOS's built-in rendering engine. Noted for next tim…

> Noted for next time. Is that just something it says, or will that actually affect how it will behave next time?

Well, it could make a note in its memory and reference it later. I don't know if such a statement from the LLM would actually cause a write to the memory in all cases, though.

Why, I wonder. It's insanely amazing.

This is an awesome test! Thanks for sharing the results. Opus 5 is very impressive. Out of curiosity, what app is that Design source of truth screenshot from?

That's from my own tool. I left figma to build a diffusion-based UI tool. Here's a show hn post with some more info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48995754 Edit: Generation was down, back up now. Apparently just hit my $1000 cap for the openai api. Upped it to 10k. Growth!

Your tool looks great!

Fable might be using those phrases less, but its writing is still terrible and exhausting to read.

I recently wrote a short paper with Fable, and, with some prodding, I was able to get some non-painful prose out of it. I just found my prompt: The writing style could really use some work. Avoid Claude-isms like "stated fairly", em dashes, "load-bearing", overly punchy phrasing like "keep the signal, govern the response". This is a technical document, not a marketing campaign.

There's a ton more you missed.

Like "It's not x, it's y". It actually has 4 or 5 of those counter-factual, linguistic pause, factual patterns it uses.

"The [goal/ambition/etc.] is larger: statement", is another oft repeated phrase.

And then generally, it loves dramatic pauses in statements like "x exists in y; in practice z". It's the weird punctuation it uses. A massive overuse of colons and semi-colons instead of words like and, but, because, althoughy etc. that humans normally use.

These are always cherry-picked, though. They tell you about the 1/10 that went really impressively, ignoring the other 9 shots at the task where the clanker started to try selling tungsten cubes (in person, wearing a blue shirt).

This is exactly the kind of take that the comment you replied to is talking about.

The pace of LLM improvement is insane, but this also opens a door that if the data is organized perfectly and right set of mathematical rules are set , this whole phenomenon of machine learning can open doors of new dimension that humanity might never have thought before, there is still much to explore in space in oceans and even in the way work on our very planet, sky isnt the limit anymore.

I don't find it jaw-dropping because the idea is quite simple. Just feed the model an enormous amount of unethically sourced data, build data centers that cause droughts, and use all chips available so that normal people can't afford to buy RAM anymore.

We're all sacrificing great things in order to make these models more capable. Whether it'll all be worth it, only time will tell.
