Ryan Lopopolo: observation

Transcript context

…I do think it’s also a bit of a different type of task, right? Codex is really good at codebase understanding, working with code bases. But companies like Lovable bolt, repli, they solve a very different [00:57:00] problem. Scaffold of zero to one, right? Idea of a product. And it’s there, there are people working on that and models are also pushing like step function changes there. It’s just different than the software engineering agents today, right? Like I said, the model is isomorphic to myself. The only thing that’s different is figuring out how to get what’s in here into context for the model and for these white space sort of projects. I, myself, I’m just not good at it. Which means that often over the agent trajectory, I realize the bits that we’re missing, which is why I find I need to have this synchronous interaction. And I expect with the right harness, with the right scaffold, that’s able to tease that outta me or refine the possible space, right? To be super opinionated around the frameworks that are deployed or to put a template in place, right? These are ways to give the model. All those non-functional requirements, that extra context to acre on and avoid that wide dispersion of possible outcomes. Thank [00:58:00] you for that. I wanted to talk a little bit about Frontier.…
