> $2.66 billion on AWS compute on an estimated $2.55 billion in revenue. Yes, but it's unclear how much of that is training costs vs operational costs. They are very different things.

I've found this too. I find I'm doing more Typescript projects than Python because of the superior typing, despite the fact I prefer Python.

They don't publish it as far as I can see! In any case, IMHO I think AI SWE has happened in 3 phases: Pre-Sonnet 3.7 (Feb 2025): Autocomplete worked. Sonnet 3.7 to Codex 5.2/Opus 4.5 (Feb 2025-Nov 2025): Agentic coding started wor

Not quite the same thing, but I wrote my own agent (as in a replacement for Claude Code) that uses SSH for all operations. That means I can run a very minimal VM (like 4GB RAM Oracle free tier), run the agent locally, and the agent only ope

Even the OP's quote made it clear this isn't the case. Companies need to show they rigorously tested that the model doesn't do this. It's like cyber insurance requirements - for better or worse, you need to show that you

What does "think" mean? Why is that kind of thinking required to create novel works? Randomness can create novelty. Mistakes can be novel. There are many ways to create novelty. Also I think you might not know how LLMs are trained

Calling him a liar seems fairly unnecessary? For one thing people's minds can change, or that can be talking in different contexts. Or - as in this case - new technology could have been deployed that changed the game.

I don't think anyone is claiming they can one-shot a 50k line SAAS app. I think you'd get close on something like Lovable but that's not really one shot either.
