With this kind of speed you could build a large thinking stage into every response. What kind of improvement could you expect in benchmarks from having say 1000 tokens of thinking for every response?


Thinking can also make the responses worse; AIs don't "overthink", instead they start throwing away constraints and convincing themselves of things that are tangential or opposite to the task.

I've often observed thinking/reasoning to cause models to completely disregard important constraints, because they essentially can act as conversational turns.

Funny that, when given too much brainpower, AIs manifest ADHD symptoms…


Validating if you have ADHD, but still an issue that is somehow glanced over by everyone who uses AI daily(?)


I don't feel validated, and I don't feel better in any way because of this.

This will all end up in tears.


My use-case would probably be of autocompacting the context of another LLM. I've been using Claude Code a lot recently, and feel that it generally gets better at handling my codebase once it uses up a lot of context (often >50%), but then it often runs out of context before finishing the task. So I'd be very interested in something that runs behind the scenes and compacts it to e.g. ~80%.

I know that Letta have a decent approach to this, but I haven't yet seen it done well with a coding agent, by them or anyone else. Is there anyone doing this with any measure of success?
