We’ve been using OpenAI's new coding agent, Codex, internally. tldr; Dispatching agents like this instead of directly guiding them is the future. Quick thread on where it's already added value —and where we’re hoping to see it grow. 🧵

Can GPT ace MIT? We did a deep dive into the recent paper and found: not really. Read more about our analysis here 😄

Come join us at Sola to help us help ai do useful work Models are smart enough to win IMO but there's tons of architecting we've had to do (and always room for improvement) to get them to effectively complete 1hr+ computer tasks collaboratively with each other + human teammates

Great for fire-and-forget. Spin up a tangent task like dev tooling / cleanup / bug-fix / isolated feature Toss in all the raw logs (sentry, grafana) + comments (slack threads, notion docs) Let's us stay heads-down on core work, returning to a ready PR that we can poke at

A recent work from @iddo claimed GPT4 can score 100% on MIT's EECS curriculum with the right prompting. My friends and I were excited to read the analysis behind such a feat, but after digging deeper, what we found left us surprised and disappointed. dub.sh/gptsucksatmit 🧵

Still some rough edges. Container spin-up takes a while, until container caching's there, spending some time optimizing that startup script has high returns. Needs integrations - already use with logging + internal discussions, copying / pasting relevant info is honestly the

Real value. We had a niche bug last week with deserializing some unique ASTs — within 5 minutes of flagging the issue, Codex identified an issue with a library we were using, recommended a 90% workaround and set up tests to get it all the way there. We got a solution into prod

Parallelism. We’ll launch a ton of Codex jobs at once. Whenever tasks finish, we review/merge in batches.
