It’s true that there are similarities between what you mentioned and what’s happening in this case. From the article: > The result is a test-time loop that looks less like “chat with a compiler” in the case of sequential revision, and more like structured exploratory search, guided by explicit optimization hypotheses and aggressively parallel evaluation. My conclusion would be that we’ve now learned to apply LLMs’ capabilities to shrink solution space where we have a clear evaluation function as well as solutions to problems that might follow similar patterns. This applies in this case as well. IMO, It’s not about model X gaining on other models or model Y being able to reason about the solutions, etc. in a way that other models couldn’t.
