In some fields like comp sci, when code isn't given but the paper describes the approach, LLMs do help with the reproducibility crisis: you can ask it to reproduce the result through reimplementation by reading the paper. If it fails y

Why have they talked about this for a long time? They predicted date of code maxing out, and did so not from fitting a sigmoid or something but they predicted it would max out right during a steep part of the slope?

Since they hide their thinking traces it really doesn't make too much sense. We know one of their fixed degradations they talked about in a recent blog post was if you left claude code idle for too long they would rehydrate it without
