This seems very very implausible to me as an explanation of what prompted them to get acquired. They wanted to get rich and stop having to fundraise!

Wow! Didn’t realize.

Do you have confidence they can execute?

“inserted at the start of any query” feels like a bit of a misunderstanding to me. It plops the skill text into the context when it needs it or when you tell it to. It’s basically like pasting in text or telling it to read a file, except fo

This question doesn’t have anything to do with skills per se, this is just about how different agents handle context. I think right now the main way they cull context is by culling noisy tool call output. Skills are basically saved prompts

Agree, surprisingly weak trailer considering how good the game is likely to be.

They’ve been planning this since October.

Not much of an announcement if you’ve paid attention to anything the company has done in the past two years.

This is what every agentic coding tool does. You can try it yourself right now with the Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or 20 other tools.

I think the idea is not that there are features that aren’t listed, but rather that if a typechecker supports 10 features people care about and is missing 10 that people don’t really use, it will look a lot worse on a list like this than a

Did you read a word past the part of my answer you quoted?

For the reason I gave in my answer: it would be answering based on the text of the book. I don't expect it to be particularly great regardless because these features always use cheap models.

Did you give it the text of the book and tell it to answer based on that?

It's not that direct a counterexample. We have no idea what underlying data from the Fallout show they gave to the model to summarize. Surely it wasn't the scripts of the episodes. The nature of the error makes me think it might h

Nearly everyone else (and every measure) seems to have found 3 a big improvement over 2.5.

The models you interact with through the API (as opposed to chat UIs) are held stable and let you specify reasoning effort, so if you use a client that takes API keys, you might be able to solve both of those problems.

I think you are totally off. Individual benchmarks are not very useful on their own, but as far as I’m aware they all tell the same story of continual progress. I don’t find this surprising since it matches my experience as well.

According to Wikipedia, the IC engine was invented around 1800 and only started to get somewhere in the late 1800s. Sounds like the story doesn’t change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

It's not useless, but the original document is aimed at expert craftspeople and there's a lot of content in the texture of it.

At least you can tell they wrote it themselves — an LLM couldn’t write a sentence that bad.

Thanks, this will be perfect for the team of 6 year olds that work for me.

Docs also often don’t have anyone’s name on them, in which case they’re already attributed to an unknown composite author.

This does not work on Bryan, however.

In my experience, LLMs have been quite capable of producing code I am satisfied with (though of course it depends on the context — I have much lower standards for one-off tools than long-lived apps). They are able to follow conventions alre

I don't think any of us would like to know how many animals were killed by human drivers in the same time period.

Really weird intro about the increase in auto fatalities, for two reasons: 1) fatalities have declined a lot from their pandemic peak. It looks kind of like a reversion to trend 2) exactly none of those fatalities were caused by a Waymo, be

No it isn’t. That’s not an acquihire. They’re keeping the product.
