My kids have book reports and stuff. Lately I can use AI to generate non-trivial questions about the books and use it to quiz them without me knowing anything about the books. Been super useful.

MS invested in Apple to keep them afloat so they had a competitor and avoid anti-trust lawsuits. That seems more nefarious than buying products from each other. Either way it worked out fine for Apple.

Its so wild to me that people that should know better pretend that this kind of stuff doesn't happen in every industry.

LLMs write all my code now and I just have to review it. Not only has my output 3x'ed at least, I also have zero hesitations now tackling large refactors, or tracking down strange bugs. For example, I recently received a report there w

Except they weren't intentionally trying to deceive anyone. They made the faulty assumption that these problems were non-trivial to solve and didn't think it was simply GPT-5 aggregating solutions in the wild.

This entire thing has been pretty disingenuous on both sides of the fence. All the anti-AI (or anti OpenAI) people are doing victory laps, but what GPT-5 Pro did is still very valuable. 1) What good is your open problem set if really its a

I love Karpathy, but he is wrong here. In a few short years we went from chat bots being toys and video creation predicted to be impossible in the near term to agents writing working apps and high def video that occasionally is indistinguis

13B is still super tiny model. Latent reasoning doesn't really appear until around 100B params. Its like how Noam reported GPT-5 finding errors on wikipedia. Wikipedia is surely apart of its training data, with numerous other bugs in t

You don't want your agents to ask questions. You are thinking too short term. Its not ideal now, but agents that have to ask frequent questions are useless when it comes the vision of totally autonomous coding. Humans ask questions of

This has been the fundamental issue with the 2.5 line of models. It seems to forget parts of its system prompts, not understand where its "located".

I assume its tool calling and structured output are way better, but this model isn't in Studio unless its being silently subbed in.

So many of these concepts only make sense under the assumption that AI will not get better and humans will continue to pour over code by hand. They won't. In a year or two these will be articles that get linked back to similar to "

Grok 4 fast is a legit model. Their code models, including supernova still aren't smart enough. Claude and Codex are ahead. Its definitely fast, but who cares if you have to re-prompt it or it hits issues it can't fix.

I appreciate these takes, but I can't help to think this is just the weird interim time where nothing is quite good enough, but in a year an article like this would clearly be "overthinking" the problem. Like when those in th

Flash-Lite is a seriously good model. I have had zero structured calls fail with it as its cranking out obscene tok/s. If you can run with something that isn't quite bleeding edge smart, this model is gold.

I almost never have to reprompt GPT-5-high (now gpt-5-codex-high) where I would be reprompting claude code all the time. It feels like its faster, doing more, but its taking more of the developers time by getting things wrong.

Its been better for awhile, people are sleeping on it, just like they slept on claude code when it initially came out.

The male voices seem much worse than the female voices, borderline robotic. Every sample of their website starts with a female voice. They clearly are aware of the issue.

I think everyone is looking for back and white switches. Either coding agents are writing your code or they aren't. Humans will always be in the mix in some form, but the amount and skills they use is going to be radically different as
