I ran them for a very short time!

Hey HN, one of the side projects my startup maintains is this arena of 52 apps implemented by different models. Inkling is the most exciting model launch we've seen from an American lab in a while, so I spun up some NVidia B200's and got to work.

Hope you find it helpful or interesting.

Yea, that's an interesting result as well. The Terra apps don't feel 35% less feature-rich. So it seems quite token efficient.

Similarly, we updated our model arena (52 apps each built by 26 models) to have GPT 5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna today:

It's really interesting to see the Sol/Terra/Luna apps side-by-side.

I need to add these stats somewhere in the UI, but one interesting take away: Terra took 1/2 as much wall-clock time as Sol, but Luna took more wall-clock time than Sol (by about 23%). It's still much much cheaper, but it seems like Terra is likely a more optimal time/cost balance for most use cases.

The Terra quality is usually nearly as good as Sol, but much faster and cheaper. I do appreciate Sol's design sensibilities (see, for example, the audio sequencer). It's the first model in a while that is clearly distinct on that front. They'd all converged to very similar visuals for a while.

Awesome - will work on getting those in.

Yep, 100% correct. We're still reviewing and advising on test cases. We also write a PRD beforehand (with the LLM interviewing us!) so the scope and expectations tend to be fairly well-defined.

It doesn't require removing them if you think you'll need them. It just requires writing tests for those edge cases so you have confidence that the code will work correctly if/when those branches do eventually run.

I don't think anyone wants production code paths that have never been tried, right?

FWIW all of the content on our eng blog is good ol' cage-free grass-fed human-written content.

(If the analogy, in the first paragraph, of a Roomba dragging poop around the house didn't convince you)

I suspect it will still fall on humans (with machine assistance?) to move the field forward and innovate, but in terms of training an LLM on genuinely new concepts, they tend to be pretty nimble on that front (in my experience).

Especially with the massive context windows modern LLMs have. The core idea that the GPT-3 paper introduced was (summarizing):

  A sufficiently large language model can perform new tasks it has never seen using only a few examples provided at inference time, without any gradient updates or fine-tuning.

I never claim that 100% coverage has anything to do with code breaking. The only claim made is that anything less than 100% does guarantee that some piece of code is not automatically exercised, which we don't allow.

It's a footnote on the post, but I expand on this with:

  100% coverage is actually the minimum bar we set. We encourage writing tests for as many scenarios as is possible, even if it means the same lines getting exercised multiple times. It gets us closer to 100% path coverage as well, though we don’t enforce (or measure) that
