alt Hacker NewsIf agents really are superpowerful at programming tasks why not just have it rewrite the tool that the majority of your customers use and have it recreate the bugs? I mean presumably its the primary force behind the current version so what's the major cost there?
I imagine it comes down to economics.. there isn't much upside to fixing the last 20% of issues that the dumber faster models are missing.
The cost to serve, latency profile ,and internal demand for a maximal intelligence model would probably keep it pointed at harder and more valuable problems most of the time.
