That’s actually crazy, what kind of task is that? And is that a recurring kind of task like some analysis, or coding related?

Coding (along with docs, tests obviously), rewriting a huge chunk of the KVM hypervisor (in Kernel 7, started in the -rc2) and KSM and other modules, can't say too much about it yet (might do an announcement in coming weeks) . The coding is automated but the plan took days of manual arguing (with all models possible) prior (while doing other things during waiting times as I currently manage 70 repos for an upcoming r…

I have yet to talk to someone who is taking this approach and doesn’t end up with a dumpster fire, but here is to hoping this time is different.

Hope it works and you post about it.

I’m vague on a specific reason for this feeling because there are a few to choose from and no one overpowers the other, but the emotion that comes to mind when I read this is disgust. As a society I feel we will look back on the subsidized opulence of this moment with total and utter contempt.

Or nostalgia for simpler times

That as well. But everyone reading GP’s posts knows in their bones that it’s unsustainable. It’s economically unsustainable and environmentally unsustainable, and in that context it strikes me as pure hoarding behaviour. Taking as much as they can for themselves before the house of cards crashes down.

I have no sympathy for OpenAI or Anthropic as corporations, but if these are the new tools of the trade, then platform abuse like GP is bragging about serves only to destroy the livelihoods of the rest of us who are content to use our fair share.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and the bill always comes at the end.

I disagree, it improved enormously especially at staying consistent for long-tasks, I have a task running for 32 days (400M+ tokens) via Codex and that's only since gpt-5.4

Has that task accomplished anything yet?

It made Sam richer.

Comprehensive coding reasoning benchmark results for GPT 5.5 with max reasoning are up at https://gertlabs.com/

Live decision and heavier agentic evals will continue being uploaded for 24 hours but I don't expect its leaderboard position to change at this point.

GPT 5.5 is the most intelligent public model. And significantly faster than its predecessor.

The doctor would be responsible. I had a choice better a doctor that used AI or not, I would much prefer one that did...

The doctor would be responsible for the accuracy of their translation tool, something they can't verify but you expect them to use?

I was answering for hallucinations, not really for translation. Re-reading your initial post I do agree with what you are saying (i.e. you are explaining why OpenAI is looking to avoid a PR nightmare). What I meant to express is that I would personally trust doctors to use these tools as best they can to provide care.

Is it hitting intermediate milestones with solid pre-written and human-reviewed acceptance tests? If not, sounds like a very risky commitment.

Just tested it on my homemade Wordpress+GravityForms benchmark and it's one of the worst model of the leaderboard performance wise and the worst value wise: https://github.com/guilamu/llms-wordpress-plugin-benchmark I know it's only on a single benchmark, but I dont understand how it can be so bad...

It's just too bad the subsidized costs mean they won't actually feel any real punishment for their failure. Like normally time wasted on its own is enough of a punishment for making a poor decision, but they're not even doing anything themselves here!
