(ofc my team at Google nearly bought 22 mhz in the 700 band for <5b in 2008. Now that was a steal.)

My o1-based AI programming agent is now state of the art on SWE-Bench Verified! It resolves 64.6% of issues. This is the first fully o1-driven agent we know of. And we learned a ton building it.

David Attenborough, age 97, continues to blow my mind. What if plants go to war, but on a different timescale? What if the fungi control the ants?? 🤯🤯🤯

Thinking about how LLMs are translators. Translate to code, to shakespearean poem, to an 8-yr-old level. Translation is a surprisingly general problem.
