these are reasoning traces from openai gpt 5.5 high, first time I have ever seen them like this. no further reasoning showing up. this is within my custom pi. super weird. maybe some sort of secret testing of 5.6 before tomorrow's launch?

They close at 8pm for a reason and it’s a reason most people don’t like talking about
SF will never be a tier 1 city for as long as the restaurants continue to close at 8pm
USA will export intelligence the same way others export oil we've really come full circle with the "data is the new oil"
Financial Times: - USG is in talks with AI companies (including at least Anthropic, OpenAI and Google) to create *voluntary* standards for release of new AI models, to be announced "as soon as next week". - Standards will include: (i) benchmarks for models with "cutting-edge CY… MoreLess
Financial Times: - USG is in talks with AI companies (including at least Anthropic, OpenAI and Google) to create *voluntary* standards for release of new AI models, to be announced "as soon as next week". - Standards will include: (i) benchmarks for models with "cutting-edge CYBER capabilities"; (ii) release timelines (which is important after Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 were lost in no-man's land for a while); and (iii) more clarity around the definition of a "frontier" model to which these rules will apply. - CAISI(!) and the NSA will play a crucial role in setting and monitoring the standards. - The USG will clarify who is able to access models, "both domestically and abroad, in a move that could set the stage for a global framework including US allies". - Wider release of GPT-5.6 is expected "as soon as next week". - Google has been in discussions with the USG about release about its own "advanced coding models", with "more sophisticated cyber capabilities than prior generations".
wait so if fable 5 is out, and gpt 5.6 is still gated, that means gpt 5.6 is better right "too powerful" and all, lmao
if you're doing agent swarms/orchestration, sonnet 5 is now SOTA if not, if you're talking and doing everything with 1 agent at a time, not making use of subagents and handoffs etc, then stick with opus 4.8/gpt 5.5
composer 2.5 fast is NEARLY there in terms of amazing speed combined with high quality output, but NEARLY there means it's not there at all, hence 5.5/4.8 still being my daily drivers regardless of cost/speed composer 3 will probably change that this is why we're seeing openai… MoreLess

WE MADE IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN i just have to send her $5,000 first for processing fees, and then your boy is officially going to be a billionaire 😎

if I don't get my hands on (this week) either Fable 5, Opus 5, Sonnet 5, GPT 5.6 Sol, Gemini 3.5, then I am going to absolutely lose it that would be my last straw, I'd take the China Model Pill at that point
Someone’s gotta start the evolution process, might as well be me, even though it will take millions(?) of years before it naturally takes effect I volunteer as tribute

Yes!! Flickering emissive screens are entirely alien objects to our biology, acting as hypnotizing portals for our awareness, the foundation on which disembodied dissociation into the digital can occur. Paper-like screens on the other hand are continuous with our environment. They let us to stay in our bodies, breathe easy, let the mind wander. It’s a much more species-appropriate and humane way of computing.

me still being forced to use gpt 5.5 xhigh on default speed mode while others have had gpt 5.6 sol ultra at 750tps

So going to @Target is officially over, nothing but Amazon/online from now on, literally sitting here for 30 minutes waiting for someone to give me a cup for my wife that she wants Hit the buttons, talked with security, store near empty lol What a joke, short Target for sure

the days of us using gpt 5.5 and gpt 5.6 being the best model internal openai/gov are using are pretty much over by the time you see gpt 6, they'll be on gpt 10
The best AI systems being closed off and restricted to just a handful of elites, is basically my worst case AI doom scenario. I really hope the z ai guys werent kidding about open source fable/mythos soon x.com/amir/status/20…

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is perfect. group.softbank/media/Project/…

plain-text files run more of my day than dashboards do. AGENTS.md skills prompts checklists queue rules review instructions small files. boring syntax. large effect on what an agent does next.
current agent work rule: the model is the least interesting part of the system. the loop around it matters more: repo read plan edit test log read retry handoff when that loop is visible, the work gets much less mystical.
vibe coding got popular in web apps because the browser is a cheap test harness. systems work needs harder proof: logs fixtures benchmarks trace spans failure repros rollback state give the agent those handles and it has something real to steer by.
if your agent setup needs babysitting, write that part down. where did it get stuck? which file did it read? which command failed? which check passed? what did you fix by hand? that is the map for making it less annoying tomorrow.
ok ok, glm 5.2 might be cracked they added 1m context, and with max reasoning, it's the first time an open model feels useful for what I use LLMs for which is exactly what matters for real work
ai can't automate you staring at your terminal deciding if you should refactor everything or just ship the hack or procrastinating on the agent that's supposed to automate your procrastination
I mean, can you imagine what things are going to be like a year from now? Hell, in six months, can you imagine the releases we're going to see before 2027 even starts?
You know, thanks to AI, I no longer ever have to touch my printer's settings. Even the latest printers have abominable settings. Honestly, anything via a menu feels so outdated when I can just tell my LLM exactly how I want it and it will script up whatever I need perfectly.
i know it sounds obvious, but maybe the most slept-on skill in agentic AI: context engineering BUT YOU shouldn't do the context gathering this is why the explosion of everyone using loops feels so sudden, but loops have been around or years regarding AI
the biggest mistake i made early on was ignoring tools that just wanted to do one thing well. no bloat, no dashboard, no integrations for the sake of it just clean input, clean output, reliable every time. whoever builds that kind of tool, builds something that lasts
what happens if the government just shuts down not only fable but opus and gpt 5.5 too has anyone actually pictured that or are we all just kind of assuming these models stick around forever + unlock further
10 tools I am using right now to build literally anything I want, June 2026 snapshot: 1. Pi (super custom) 2. Codex (CLI) 3. Codex (App) 4. Claude Code (CLI) 5. Blaxel 6. Obsidian 7. Linear 8. Slack 9. Cmux/Tmux 10. WisprFlow
anyone else feel like pre-agentic and post-agentic building are completely different disciplines or is that just me
we've been so bad at telling good AI stories that people's main reference points are terminator and black mirror meanwhile the actual future is probably more like "your grocery bill dropped 80% and you only work 3 days a week" feels a lot less dramatic
pre-agentic and post-agentic building are completely different disciplines now having master experience in the former does not qualify you as a master in the latter
realized the people who'll thrive aren't just "good at code" they understand systems, constraints, composition they think in abstractions that work whether you're writing it or an LLM is
calling it now, After this backrooms movie hit it so hard, get ready for a barrage of SCP movies And all of them - if done right - will 100m+ each

I am this except the other way around I did Waymo about 6 times straight, then I did an Uber because Waymo said 30 minutes to pickup vs Uber's 5 minutes That Uber ride made me realize, OK, next time I'll just browse X for those 25 extra minutes from now on
Never taken a Waymo or any other self driving car. Held strong for 6 years. My friends in SF look down on me for it, but I will not cave.
