Sunday podcast catching up. ThursdAI this week on coding agents and open weights models:
- @ryancarson used a billion tokens in 24 hours. Every single engineer I work with now lives in Claude Code and Codex. This is a complete change in how we do engineering, and it happened unbelievably quickly.
- @WolframRvnwlf talked about something I've been thinking about a lot lately: using open weights LLMs today feels a lot like using Linux in the 90s. Nothing ever just works in a straightforward way; everything's fragile and futzy; capabilities are behind the best commercial models. But, equally clearly, these open weights models are going to be a big part of the future of computing.
- @llm_wizard gives a great rundown of the new NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Super model (and the open weights, open data, open source training and inference code approach that is the broader Nemotron ecosystem).
Claude made this clip sequence for me, with basically just one prompt and a couple of small refinement requests from me, using my `skill-caption-clip` skill that Claude wrote a few weeks ago.
