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://

Neurosymbolic AI: Beyond Simple Neural Network Wrappers
By
–
if the “dumb wrapper” or “harness” is symbolic around a neural network, that is in fact neurosymbolic. but i don’t think the Claude wrapper is harness (though it can be improved on)

Models Echo Human Behavior Rather Than Exhibiting AI Instincts
By
–
Interesting follow up to the peer-preservation study. It makes sense to me that models are simply echoing human behavior rather than exhibiting some kind of pro-AI vs human instincts.
