They are certainly making huge bets that are risky, and so yes on their P&L the L are scaling. That doesn't say anything at all about their marginal inference cost.

Where is the interface defined ? If it is just the coder reading the test it can hard code specific cases based on the test setup/fixture data.

This is all true but it isn't really important for the argument people are making. What is more important is the marginal cost per token. If each token sold is at a marginal loss, their losses would scale with usage, that simply can&

Nothing differentiates them. Anything they capture is based only on price and when they raise it, they lose it entirely.

Prompt injection attacks are very much a thing. It doesn't matter how good the agent is, its vulnerable, and you don't know what you don't know.

MCP specs are verbose json objects and they have to go into the context before you can call them. So yes it is an issue with the fundamental design of the protocol. Even if the model doesn’t already know the cli commands it can interrogate

It has nothing to do with outputs, it’s about the json spec data that goes into the context.

No, it really matters because of the impact it has on context tokens. Reading on GH issue with MCP burns 54k tokens just to load the spec. If you use several MCPs it adds up really fast.

I clarified my comment - "perhaps researchers have not tried 'use less data'" suggests I might be unaware of this concept, I changed it to "as if". In fact "less data" was tried for decades before the

Fine tuning does not make a model any smaller. It can make a smaller model more effective at a specific task, but a larger model with the same architecture fine-tuned on the same dataset will always be more capable in a domain as general as

IronClaw’s security architecture sounds plausible, but I have not audited it. Plugins can only access remote endpoints you’ve specifically allowed it for. Secrets aren’t available to the LLM - they are injected where the LLM requires it but

I'm no expert either and I have not done kernel development, but I've done some embedded stuff in C and I think this is not unreasonable. brcmf_reg_read is only called in one place and the call chain is straightforward (starts in

It wasn't a straight port, he had an LLM write a spec by reviewing the code, and then in another session another LLM did the development. That is basically a Clean-room approach. It would be unlikely there would be much - if any - code

This feels different. In the 1950s rapid technological progress had been driven by the pressures of the second world war and produced amazing things that held a lot of promise, but few appreciated the depth of complexity of what lay before

Github can get pretty sluggish as well; if you have a pull request with lots of comments page loads begin to take a dozen seconds or more. AI code review bots make it painful for humans to use it.

So absolutely at least some of that is true. I’d be surprised if the systemd thing was not also true. I think it’s quite likely Docker did not have a good handle on the “needs” of the enterprise space. That is Red Hats bread and butter; are
