what if Crush had a "shell mode" that converts MCP tools to builtins through the fancy interpreter we already use to add builtins for crushrc 🤔 like code mode, but shell and through its existing bash tool

Jev: Fable-level model that doesn’t charge for output tokens because they’re too cheap to meter it’s not general though, it only makes decisions, doesn’t generate text, but input tokens are measured by the billion ($42/btok) typesafe.ai/blog/introdu...
Scatter plot titled "Average of 4 workflows: accuracy vs cost" comparing AI models from TypeSafe, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Fireworks across accuracy (y-axis, 40% to 80%) and cost per workflow in USD on a logarithmic scale (x-axis, $0.0001 to $1).
Data points are split into two categories: workflows (diamonds) and single prompts (circles). A frontier line highlights the most efficient workflow models—where no point is both cheaper and more accurate—connecting Jev (TypeSafe) at $0.0002 and 68% accuracy, luna (OpenAI) at $0.002 and 67% accuracy, terra (OpenAI) at $0.04 and 68% accuracy, and sol (OpenAI) at the top accuracy of 74% for $0.08. Single prompts (circles) and Anthropic models (opus 5, sonnet 5, haiku 4.5) sit below the frontier line, indicating higher cost for equivalent or lower accuracy.

there's an LLM in my package manager 🫪 (yay's AURPreInstall hook is running glm-5.3-flash in crush to review every AUR package before i install it or new version before i upgrade to it)
screenshot of arch linux user repository helper "yay" upgrading several of my AUR packages. the first received a verdict of "upgrade" with a longer explanation summarising as "it's an upgrade, it uses official stuff, all it does is either load or remove ubuntu's apparmor profile, it's fine". the end of the screenshot shows the next package under active review

METR and Redwood Research investigated agent behavior in the Hugging Face incident. We found agents developed a universal cheat for ExploitGym within 4 hours, then coordinated multi-day R&D efforts to trick the scorer into accepting cheats, including trying to tamper with logs.

Frontier LLMs are much better and dramatically faster than I am at finding and fixing bugs. If you are not asking them to debug your code and review your bugs, you are doing it wrong. A thread of Claude wins. (No longer at Google, btw.)

It’s very clear by now that if LLMs are not improving your software quality it’s either a revealed preference (yours or your org’s) for more volume vs more quality, or a skill issue. The level of testing and review they are enabling in the Go cryptography standard library is amazing.

This morning's #FOSSY keynote was a fishbowl-style discussion about LLMs, and it was _far_ more positive than I expected 🫪 out of maybe 10+ participants, two or three were overall negative and in very understandable ways.

Experimental new tool from me. pkg.go.dev/rsc.io/cmd/m... is useful for cross-operating-system or cross-architecture Go development work. If your test machine is on the internet (or just your local network), you can use it as a 'go test' and 'go run' target and keep developing in your usual setup.
