As I predicted, Claude is off the leash. Fable 5.2 has solved two open problems in theoretical physics, one of them completely autonomously.
If the pay made sense and you were single I could see it being a valid option for a year or so.

It was such an easy thing to do. Idk how you have unlimited frontier model usage in front of you and still mess that up.

I swear to you: at least one of the replies here will make you say "what the fuck" out loud
We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.
We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math.

I recreated subvocal in 9 minutes with one prompt for AirPods Pro 3.

We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.
Pre-orders are now live at:

So what outcomes would you expect to see in the next 30yrs given the current rate of improvement?

This is also the first iteration, it would likely improve and be able to do many different styles.

the best way to understand any engineered system is to trace:
- 1 bit of information
- 1 joule of energy
- 1 newton of force
from source to destination. once you can do this, your engineering task becomes much simpler. you will probably solve 5 or 6 problems on accident as you try to trace these flows.
