Delangue cites Stanford research showing local models now answer 71.3% of real-world chat and reasoning queries accurately, up from 23.2% in 2023, at a fraction of frontier API cost, arguing the future is multi-model with local/open models for most tasks and frontier APIs only when needed.

Narrative violation: according to @Stanford research, local models can answer 71.3% of real-world chat and reasoning queries accurately, up from 23.2% in 2023. Obviously at a fraction of the cost and energy consumption of frontier APIs. The obvious conclusion: you don't need a frontier model for most tasks. The future is multi-model: local, open-source, smaller and cheaper for the majority of workloads, frontier APIs when no other choices!

Anthropic engineer shares five tips for running Claude Opus autonomously for hours or days: auto-permission mode, dynamic multi-agent workflows, /goal or /loop nudges, cloud-based Claude Code, and end-to-end self-verification.

Seeing a number of benchmarks showing Opus is the best model for long-running work. Five tips for running Opus autonomously for hours/days: 1. Use auto mode for permissions, so Claude doesn’t ask for approval 2. Use dynamic workflows, to have Claude orchestrate hundreds/thousands of agents to get a task done 3. Use /goal or /loop, to nudge Claude to keep going until it’s done 4. Use Claude Code in the cloud, so you can close your laptop (easiest way is the desktop or mobile app) 5. Make sure C

Ethan Mollick argues LLMs collapse to similar arguments and concepts even across different models, whereas humans provide far more variation, jokingly suggesting humans are more useful as dice than batteries.

The Matrix idea of keeping humans as batteries is obviously weird... we would be more useful as dice. LLMs default to very similar kinds of arguments & structure, and even different LLMs seem to collapse to similar concepts. Humans provide a lot more variation in their own work.

Anthropic's science blog asks why AI has advanced faster in coding than biology, likening bio databases to cities built before cars and questioning how to build agent-friendly infrastructure.

New Science Blog: Why has AI advanced faster in coding than in biology? To agents, bio databases are like cities built before cars—maddening to drive in because they're designed for different traffic. How do we build infrastructure agents can use? t.co/PQaNQ4GRJZ

Nathan Lambert argues that the field's obsession with continual learning and sample efficiency is misguided, advocating instead for maximizing the strengths of current transformative technologies as frontier labs already do.

I feel like the obsession with continual learning / sample efficiency leads the field in the wrong direction. It's the bad career strategy of focusing on addressing your weaknesses instead of maximizing your strengths. Yes, there is an existence proof in the human brain, but it doesn't by any means guarantee that that'll be the most interesting AI. It may require $100T of R&D on chips and AI methods to get that unlock. On the other side of things, it's obvious that the coming models are extrem

Marcus notes METR coding benchmarks appeared saturated by a Mythos model, but a new Cognition benchmark FrontierCode Diamond remains largely unsolved, with Claude Opus 4.8 scoring only 13.4%, indicating headroom remains. He notes METR itself never panicked.

Oh my God! @METR_Evals’s coding benchmarks are saturated! 🤯 Mythos broke the METR graph 🤯 4 weeks later, out comes a new coding task, this time from @cognition: “FrontierCode Diamond remains unsaturated: the best performing model, Claude Opus 4.8, achieves a score of only 13.4%. There is still a lots of headroom. *Note that METR itself never panicked. It’s the Twitterverse that has egg on its face.

Perplexity announces a joint study with Harvard on the shift from chat interfaces to autonomous agents, claiming Computer users finish tasks 87% faster at 94% lower cost than Search.

We published new research with Harvard on the shift from chat interfaces to autonomous agents like Computer. Over 3 months, findings show workers using Computer finish tasks in 87% less time at 94% lower cost than Search alone, with higher satisfaction. t.co/qmcUqcj8CI t.co/R4oTLavC6T

Thomas Wolf announces CADGenBench, a tool-agnostic open benchmark for generating and editing valid 3D CAD models from drawings or change requests, scored on geometry, topology, interface compatibility, and validity.

AI is moving beyond text, images, and code. Engineering artifacts are becoming a new class of model outputs and evaluating them requires different tools than we use for text, code, or images. Today we're excited to release CADGenBench, a benchmark for CAD generation and editing.
  • Given an engineering drawing → generate a valid 3D CAD model
  • Given a STEP file + change request → edit it correctly
The benchmark is tool-agnostic: any CAD stack works (Fusion, Onshape, build123d, SolidWorks, etc

Marcus rebuts Sergey Brin, arguing transformers alone are not sufficient for AGI, that everyone now supplements them with tools, harnesses, and neurosymbolic elements, and that this is why neurosymbolic AI is rising.

No. Not by itself. Sergey Brin is absolutely wrong. Transformers by themselves are not “sufficient” for AGI. Nobody uses transformers on their own anymore. Everybody is supplementing them tools and harnesses and other aspects of architecture from (neuro)symbolic AI. Transformers may (?) be necessary for AGI but they are absolutley not sufficient. That is exactly *why* neurosymbolic AI is rising.

swyx announces FrontierCode with METR, claiming over half of SWEBench results are unmergeable slop, with 3000+ rubrics, anticheat measures, and Opus 4.8 scoring only 13.8% on FC Diamond, framing three eras of coding benchmarks.

It's finally out!!! @METR_Evals found that more than half of SWEBench results is unmergeable slop. FrontierCode represents over 1000+ hours of maintainer validated software engineering work most frontier models cannot yet solve, much less solve with high quality. Cog had IOI Gold medalists and top code maintainers Look At The Data — FrontierCode includes 3000+ rubrics covering code quality and anticheat reward hacking plaguing other benchmarks. FC Diamond is so hard that Opus 4.8 scores 13.8
