GPT-4 was the undisputed best model in the world for a full year and we all debated whether anyone could catch up or if OpenAI had some secret formula that nobody else knew about. Now there are are 19 AI models that can run on a modern smartphone that are better than GPT-4!

I’m still somewhat of a skeptic on a lot of AI, and a lot of the AI hype, but at this point calling it “fancy autocomplete” is itself a way less fancy autocomplete in response to a prompt that just mentions AI at all.

We really lost something by upgrading image generators. Plugging in shit like “my happy family at the beach” gave you horrifying things like this and it was actually great

DINOv2 has never seen a caption, and Qwen3 has never seen an image. We still aligned their embedding spaces without a single image-caption pair. It even works when the images and the captions come from different datasets. Project page: dominik-schnaus.github.io/unpaired-rosetta ⬇️

FYI it’s now 2x-3x cheaper to convert a PDF to images and pass images to Luna than to use Azure Document Intelligence to OCR and that factor scales mostly on output tokens, so if you only need to extract a little bit, image->Luna is dramatically cheaper

Yeah OpenAI or Anthropic or whoever might go bankrupt, some specific use cases like ‘therapists’ might be litigated to oblivion. But things that involve interfacing with code are never, ever going back to the modal default being a human being typing things out, like it’s just full stop not happening

I think most people who have been closely watching AI for the past few years are likely surprised by how relatively rare terrible AI incidents have been, given a billion users overall and hundreds of millions of corporate users. Doesn’t mean that will continue, but still its surprising.

I'm convinced about one thing. Instead of selling AI agentic SaaS to the traditional professional services companies, it may be easier to just compete against them using AI agentic software.

Shower thought

Being in production with live traffic or live library downloads is a shorthand way of saying “I am responsible to my team and my users.”

Any decisions around the presence or absence of unit tests, integration tests, metrics dashboards, CI/CD or code review should be viewed through the lens or “is what I am doing creating a stronger or weaker contract between me and my team and my users?”

My AI agent dev workflow: I start by writing a design document for a new feature or a refactor of an existing part of the codebase. I review and revise that document repeatedly, often around 10 times, until I can no longer identify any significant issues or ambiguities.

I think this is big. 🌠 FastAPI's objective is to provide what you always need for real prod apps. And not provide what you don't. You always want metrics, there's just not enough time to always set it all up. Now it's just there, by default.

Claude 5.5 Sonnet is live and it’s roughly Opus 5.5 but cheaper www.anthropic.com/claude-sonne...

A benchmark comparison table titled "Claude Sonnet 5.5" comparing four models: Sonnet 5.5, Sonnet 5, Opus 5.5, and GPT-6 Sol.
* Agentic coding (Terminal-Bench 4.0): Sonnet 5.5: 70.6%; Sonnet 5: 10.3%; Opus 5.5: 66.4%; GPT-6 Sol: N/A.
* Agentic coding (FrontierCode 1.1 Main): Sonnet 5.5: 46.2% (Max) / 52.1% (Xhigh); Sonnet 5: 42.4%; Opus 5.5: 54.4%; GPT-6 Sol: 49.3%.
* Agentic coding (CursorBench 4.0): Sonnet 5.5: 55.5%; Sonnet 5: 34.1%; Opus 5.5: 57.8%; GPT-6 Sol: N/A.
* Knowledge work (GDPval-AA v2.1): Sonnet 5.5: 1844; Sonnet 5: 1449; Opus 5.5: 1846; GPT-6 Sol: 1487.
* Knowledge work (AA-Briefcase v1.1): Sonnet 5.5: 1811; Sonnet 5: 1359; Opus 5.5: 1822; GPT-6 Sol: 1483.
* Multidisciplinary reasoning (Humanity's Last Exam with tools): Sonnet 5.5: 64.5%; Sonnet 5: 54.9%; Opus 5.5: 67.7%; GPT-6 Sol: N/A.
* Computer use (OSWorld 2.1 partial): Sonnet 5.5: 80.1%; Sonnet 5: 57.0%; Opus 5.5: 81.8%; GPT-6 Sol: N/A.
* Visual chart recognition (Chartography no tools): Sonnet 5.5: 61.6%; Sonnet 5: 15.6%; Opus 5.5: 64.4%; GPT-6 Sol: 53.6%.
Footnotes provide methodology notes regarding evaluation settings, Artificial Analysis pre-release testing details, and recent bug fixes affecting GPT-6 Sol benchmark scores.

A line graph titled "Agentic coding by effort level" on the CursorBench 4.0 benchmark, plotting Score (%) on the linear y-axis (20% to 60%) against Cost per task in USD on a logarithmic x-axis ($0.5 to $10+).
The chart compares four models:
* Sonnet 5.5 (blue line with labeled effort levels): Starts at "Low" (~$0.50, 36%), moving through "Med" ($0.70, 39%), "High" ($1.70, 48%), "Xhigh" ($3.80, 53%), and "Max" ($9.50, ~55.5%).
* Opus 5.5 (orange line): Tracks closely above Sonnet 5.5 at higher cost points, spanning from ~$1.20 per task (~44%) up to ~$12.50 per task (~58%).
* Sonnet 5 (grey line): Shows lower accuracy relative to cost, ranging from ~$0.90 per task (~25%) to ~$8.00 per task (~42%).
* GPT-5.6 Sol (light green line): Represents the lowest trajectory, ranging from ~$1.40 per task (~24%) to ~$7.00 per task (~34%).
Footnote: "CursorBench 4.0 does not report GPT-6 Sol performance publicly, so we report GPT-5.6 Sol here."
