The weirdest thing about this AI revolution is how smooth and continuous it is. If you look closely at differences between 4.6 and 4.5, it’s hard to see the subtle details. A year ago today, Sonnet 3.5 (new), was the newest model. A week la

I always grew up hearing “competition is good for the consumer.” But I never really internalized how good fierce battles for market share are. The amount of competition in a space is directly proportional to how good the results are for con

Both Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.3 one shot a Gameboy emulator for me. Guess I need a better benchmark.

I'm not sure I agree. LLM's have the feel of an alien new technology, and especially did back then. In retrospect, it feels very obvious that small models don't pose much of a threat, but that's only in retrospect.

I'm sure Apple is more than happy to pay the premium for cleanness.

Today I showed Claude Code how to control my lights, and I'm having a blast.

It is interesting that most of our modes of interaction with AI is still just textboxes. The only big UX change in that the last three years has been the introduction of the Claude Code / OpenAI Codex tools. They feel amazing to use, l

Local models you can get just the pretrained versions of, no RLHF. IIRC both Llama and Gemma make them available.

I can see both sides of it. There’s a fancy bread bakery by where I live. I go infrequently, the bread is great. But it’s expensive, most of the I just want a cheap loaf from Target, as do most people. Instead of broad employment of artisan

I made a very mediocre platformer in my senior year of high school, published on itch.io. I ended up becoming a software developer, which I enjoy 80% as much, but without any burnout or worrying about the superstar economics of being a game

When I was near the end of high school, my family visited London, and I was thinking about being a game dev. So I sent Terry Cavanagh an email, and to my surprise he completely agreed to get lunch. He was extremely kind, gave me a lot of in

He's awesome. I listened to Lex Friedman for a long time, and there was a lot of critiques of him (Lex) as an interviewer, but since the guests were amazing, I never really cared. But after listening to Dwarkesh, my eyes are opened (or

For coding, I like the Aider polyglot benchmark, since it covers multiple programming languages. Gemini 2.5 Pro got 72.9% o3 high gets 81.3%, o4-mini high gets 68.9%

It's funny, I see myself as basically just a pretty unabashed AI believer, but when I look at your predictions, I don't really have any core disagreements. I know you as like the #1 AI skeptic (no offense), but like when I see poi

I had a very hard time working there, maybe the worst time in my life. I worked with a lot of very smart people, but something about the company culture is doomed in a way I haven't seen before. Last year I read the book Julia by San

Which ones? In my experience, a lot of Apples products have incredible longevity. Notes, Calendar, Pages all just get better and better.

Is there really no standalone app, like ChatGPT/Claude/DeepSeek, available yet for Gemini?

Completely disagree… there are a crazy amount of cases that didn’t work, until the models scaled to a point they magically did. Best example I can think of is the ARC AGI benchmark. It was seen to measure human-like intelligence through spe

Humans always hallucinate like this, seeing the original problem instead of the twist.

With some transcribing (using another LLM instance) I’ve even gotten it to solve NYT mini crosswords.

Very interesting - have you tried using `o1` yet? I made a program which makes LLM's complete WORDLE puzzles, and the difference between `4o` and `o1` is absolutely astonishing.

New technologies can solve problems better. "I'm starting to think computers are a solution in the need of a problem. Have we not already solved doing math?"
