Transcript context

…Yeah, we’ve looked at it from a evals perspective and we love terminal bench and, and host benchmarks of, of, of terminal mention on artificial analysis. Um, we’ve looked at it from a, from a coding agent perspective, but could see it being a great, um, basis for any kind of agents. I think where we’re getting to is that these models have gotten smart enough. They’ve gotten better, better tools that they can perform better when just given a minimalist. Set of tools and, and let them run, let the model control the, the agentic workflow rather than using another framework that’s a bit more built out that tries to dictate the, dictate the flow. Awesome. Let’s cover the openness index and then let’s go into the report stuff. Uh, so that’s the, that’s the last of the proprietary art numbers, I guess. I don’t know how you sort of classify all these. Yeah. Or call it, call it, let’s call it the last of like the, the three new things that we’re talking about from like the last few weeks. Um, cause I mean, there’s a, we do a mix of stuff that. Where we’re using open source, where we open source and what we do and, um, proprietary stuff that we don’t always open source, like long context reasoning data set last year, we did open source. Um, and then all of the work on performance benchmarks across the site, some of them, we looking to open source, but some of them, like we’re constantly iterating on and so on and so on and so on. So there’s a huge mix, I would say, just of like stuff that is open source and not across the side. So that’s a LCR for people. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.…
