So you want to be disingenuous, that's ok with me. Everybody knows it.

They are Japanese.

SpaceX and Elon are the litmus test for the future. You're either with him, or your opinions are ignorant and irrelevant.

I have tested this exact scenario, and it works. Opus 5 had access to IDA over MCP, and I simply asked it HOW certain things were done in the target binary. Purely informational, educational, discovery, it was very helpful creating context documents. Then I took those over to GLM-5.2 to actually accomplish something.

I didn't feel like installing a whole redis-server service on my Windows machine, so instead I built a lightweight yet very capable clone. Maybe you'll find it handy for local development.

I set this up today on my 5090 at Q6_K quantization and Q4_0 KV, got 50 tokens/s consistently at 123k context, using ~28/32gb vram through LM Studio.

Yeah, it's token intensive but worth it. I built a very dumb example harness which used IDA via MCP and analyzed/renamed/commented all ~67k functions in a binary, using Claude Haiku for about $150. A local model could've accomplished it for much less/free. The knowledge base it outputs and the marked up IDA db are super valuable.

No you fell for someone elses joke.

Somehow not surprising to see this take on the front page. How embarrassing.

I remember being an early teenager on IRC and joining a small BBS development team. I said I knew Pascal, but that was a fib... I did learn it quickly, though, and used it for many years. I can still find the code online, and see my contribution which I get a kick out of... It was a tool that you entered colored ascii frames for an animated "press any key to continue" prompt, and it output a valid pascal function file for that animation.

Same here... It's still amazing, and I have no legitimate reason to upgrade. Could be looked at as a failure of some sort, that they haven't given us a good reason.

Not mentioned in the article, but one major provider for this is AskSage.ai, which has built up a lot of features around creating government documents, proposals, RFPs, etc.
