Opus 4.8 more cooperative but still expensive
By
–
Worked on some code this morning using Opus 4.8 and so far I'm really liking it. Much more cooperative than 4.7 and less "over agentic". Stops and asks for my input when needed in places 4.7 (and GPT 5.5) would just foolishly blast ahead. (Still WAY too expensive.)

i.e I wouldn't be at all shocked to hear that there are (were?) OOM inefficiencies in xai's training code base.

Jax vs C: inefficient implementation comparison
By
–
IIUC the previous training code at xai was super inefficient. Perhaps the 10x is comparing to that? So it's not really "jax vs C" but "crappy jax impl vs less crappy C impl"?

Visualization of all humans generated by Opus 4.8 in Claude Code

How lucky are you to have been born when and where you are? Had Opus 4.8 in Claude Code whip up a new visualization of all humans who ever lived. In addition to being neat, it is an interesting test of combining research, code, design and stats for an AI. https://

Shader test as a measure of AI coding capability
By
–
Except a shader like this is a very good measure of model capability because of the technical difficulty of building this sort of code. It translates to other coding as well. Feel free to see my many other tweets and substack posts (& book) about AI applications in businesses.

AI Agent Autonomously Automates PR Merge Workflow
By
–
While working on openai/codex today, Codex surprised me by setting up its own heartbeat automation to poll my PR until CI was green and approvals were in. It kept checking every 10 minutes for an hour, merged the PR once everything was ready, then removed the automation. High
