What would you say if the IMO Gold Medal models from DeepMind and OpenAI turn out to be generalizable to other domains including those with hard-to-verify reward signals? Hint: Researchers from both companies said publicly they employ gener

My thesis is that this could lead to a booming market for “pink-collar” service jobs. A significant latent demand exists for more and better services in developed countries. For instance, upper-middle-class and middle-class individuals in c

Au contraire, reasoning LLMs free me from mundane cognitive tasks, e.g. selecting websites to read from among search results, assessing level of evidence in papers before reading them in more detail, routine coding, and many other repetitiv

Training data, esp interaction data from agentic coding tools, are important for that. See also: Windsurf acquisition.

There’s a recent article with experiments suggesting LLMs are better at bug fixing than coding, iirc. It’s from a company with a relevant product though.

The SWE-bench verified score for frontier LLMs will probably reach/surpass 90% by the end of the year. Agentic AI will learn to complete a larger and larger chunk of the practical software development process without much human input.

One way to think of this is as the Baumol effect* within software development. Expert humans are still quite a bit better than LLMs at nuanced requirements understanding and architectural design for now. Actual coding will increasingly be

The reward it gets from the reinforcement learning (RL) process probably didn’t include a sufficiently strong weight on being truthful. Reward engineering for RL might be the most important area of research in AI now.

OpenAI‘s early investment in Cursor was a masterstroke. Acquiring Windsurf would be another. Next advances in coding AI depend on real-world coding data, esp how professional developers use agentic AI for coding + other tasks. RL works well
