You should have a sub agent adversarially enforce KISS before every commit.

And then another sub agent that argues for the whole system to be re-written in another language

If that's your goal, then yes. Invoking sub agents (with a fresh context) corrects most of these problems. Ask your harness to create a commit gate.

It seems like these articles might have come out prematurely, tbd by how much. I do not personally see any evidence of the new model having been released, or any official OpenAI post about it, or even any employee social media posts claiming it has now been released. All there is are Reuters, Axios, FT, etc, articles making a claim in the past tense. These articles were presumably pre-scheduled for 11am PT, and the m…

Shows the weirdness of online journalism. News outlets were briefed about an upcoming event and pre-wrote and scheduled articles. When the time came they were all triggered. Except...the event didn't actually happen.

If it's not clear what's happened:

The launch was scheduled for 11am Pacific time.

The press embargo broke at 11am, and we saw a flurry of press articles by Axios, TechCrunch et al.

The model has appeared on the ChatGPT API.

But the official blog post is not out yet after nearly an hour.

Apparently the article was posted then quickly taken down, hence there are snippets of information coming out.

2.5x more expensive than Sol. Can expect 2.5x more usage in Codex subscription.

Sol is already brutal (even after their recent fixes, it's just a token-hungry model: I go through a full 20x account per day, on Sol Med/High standard speed, with ~2 threads).

Note that Tibo recommended using Sol Med as daily driver. When I'm doing less complicated work, I can't even make it past 2-3 days with Sol Med, whereas I was able to work ~80 hours/week with 5.5 High.

I hope the efficiency gains are true, since their token efficiency claims for Sol were bullshit. Sol needs a lot of rework on top of its inefficiencies so this could net out to less token consumption overall, if their claims are more accurate this time.

From the article: > GPT-6 Astra will first be available to a limited set of organizations in OpenAI's Daybreak Access program and will be available "in the coming days" for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise customers and API developers. It’s only available to select orgs, first - Mythos style.

>It’s only available to select orgs, first - Mythos style. Right, but these articles are referring to a blog post and other press materials that do not currently exist / aren't published on OpenAI's site yet.

OpenAI screwed up the embargo. OpenAI already publicly published the launch article, and then took it down.

(Posting partly so I can revisit my predictions when they open access more widely) A big problem I have with OpenAI's models (and of course Claude) is that they tend to write the most over-engineered pieces of code, beyond the imagination of any architecture's astronaut. Just this week I asked 5.6-sol-ultra to update a 1000 LOC python script I had, to "incorporate the key lessons learned when using it for another pro…

Probably this complexity was needed to beat all those benchmarks.. While I hate the code it produces, and the overwhelming documentation, I really enjoy how sometimes it's able to keep trying new things and testing, till it finds something interesting and valuable.

Would you mind posting that code to github? I'm curious about the complexity you're describing.

If not, no worries!

I guess the next model's name might be "galaxy"

I like this much better than chucking random numbers and letters at it like OAI was doing a year or so ago. I’d much rather have civilization destroyed by something called Astra or Fable than GPT-6.8s-latest.
