Background agents only have 5 minutes' cache TTL, but I'm guessing this doesn't help extend it (not that it would be too useful anyway, especially considering the extra burn).

Also, the claim "15-20% of your tokens" seems unclear; of all tokens, or of tokens spent on background agents? Poorly edited AI writing strikes again!

Absolute bad-metaphor-laden slop, in a dramatic writerly voice. These LLMs are trained on too much pretentious writing.

Yeah, people are guessing it's Sakana AI's Fugu or a similar approach.

Quite possibly Sakana AI's Fugu (i.e. an orchestrator-router), since it seems to produce results of extremely varying quality, and doesn't seem to be politically censored.

The world's heavily about marketing, resources, connections, and signaling, unfortunately. You probably needed to market it in a bigger forum with shinier claims to attract attention (I don't think a paper on Arxiv is enough).

If anything, I think General ___ is now a means of sounding established and technically advanced (implying "we're already covering everything in this area"). "General Assembly" got some visibility in the 2010s, and I've seen at least one recent YC startup use this naming pattern.

Yep, if someone thinks AWS docs are rough, wait till they try Azure docs!

Master of Time. One of the Masters of the Universe.

It's a real step forward, getting closer to SOTA. It seems to be very epistemically cautious in its reasoning. I hope Deepseek and the other open-weights labs stay in the game and catch up too.

Touche. Honestly, if there's going to be speculative fever in society that you can't suppress, it should be captured for better purposes, such as through your LTSE. Bring access to it to Asia sometime.

> that incredible sense of idealism

The idealism that has been sucked out of the tech industry. It was so (naively) hopeful at one point, and now the arms race and profit-maximization has eroded it all. Your observations really resonate with me.

I'm surprised I hadn't heard of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, it seems like a much healthier direction for the market.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

This is amazing, a true gem. I need to get it set up.

I'm not sure it's so black and white. Directing capital is powerful, and directing spending is powerful (but probably harder; this is marketing or government). I think it's more that directing spending requires influencing a lot more people than directing capital.
