nope, tools/harnessing is what is accounting for most of the recent progress. not scale. no way could you get a pure LLM to do what Claude Code does. that’s why they used the other stuff, too see eg https://

code is code; it’s not a neural network, it’s symbolic but yet it does sound like it needs a refactoring.
