Remek is currently working on a decision model (i.e. "system one" model, similar to Jev / OpenAI's Decisions API) and he's currently ranked #1 in open weights (#2 overall!) on JevBench, essentially beating almost every commercially released product, including Jev itself that went viral some time ago
what's even crazier is that he's working on it alone, as an after-hours side project, he started a few (two?) weeks ago and he's paying for compute out of his own pocket
Hot take: Your coding agent's harness doesn't matter.
They all yield similar results, and 1st-party pairings are overrated. The only real variable is cost.
At the end of the day, success comes from the model's sheer intelligence, not the wrapper.
I’m speaking at the IMF in an hour about the singularity and why I believe it has begun and the choices we'll need to make. Watch live here: https://t.co/Hj9HzcXx5h
• Donald Trump → Powerful
• Dario Amodei → Pass
• Peter Thiel → Great
• Ilya Sutskever → Brilliant. And caring and warm and wonderful person
• Elon Musk → Not nice
If Zuckerberg were smart, instead of poaching Alexandr Wang, he would have launched Meta's own Project Panama and bought up every used book in the world. In the end, he went the way of Carthage, which hired Numidian cavalry.
Act like your future self.

when nick told me that he had some interp breakthroughs, he was uh, underselling it. i think this may be remembered as a major moment in scientific history. news so good even eliezer will have to lower his pdoom. we can start making alignment into a 'normal science'
