At the @aiDotEngineer World Fair, I sat down and dumped my brain on a podcast. Here are my latest ponderoos on these topics… ✨ Why code doesn't need to be readable by a human anymore; it needs to be explainable to one. ✨Why frontier intelligence isn't required for most tasks, and why some of the sharpest engineers I know run 20 concurrent $300/year subscriptions instead of one frontier plan. ✨ Why I haven't hand-written code in over two years, and why Git is perhaps already end of life. ✨ Why porting between programming languages is now nearly free, and what that means for which languages survive.

We removed ~80% of the Claude Code system prompt for our newest models, this is what we've learned about writing system prompts, skills and Claude.MDs for them.

GPT-5.6 Sol and Luna are ahead of Terra at every point on the Intelligence vs Cost per Task chart. GPT-5.6 Luna stands out as a particularly cost efficient model Charting the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index shows the trade-off between intelligence and Cost per Intelligence Index Task. Across reasoning efforts, each GPT-5.6 model pushes past GPT-5.5 on the Pareto frontier (excluding non-reasoning). However, Luna and Sol are always ahead of Terra. This means for any Terra effort level, there is a Luna or Sol effort level that is more intelligent at no extra cost, or as intelligent at lower cost.
