I'm aware we're not there yet, but think of something like https://chatjimmy.ai/ ; at some point, you're going to be able to dynamically build the harness so it creates the necessary consistency & dynamicism at a speed unheard of.

But yes, I'm aware no ones got anywhere near there, mostly because most of the focus is on exploding the context and parameters. I'm saying that phase is done.

I'm not sure what I am looking at with chatjimmy.... what is special about it? Speed?

I'm also not sure what you mean by "we aren't there yet." Where?

Sorry, not trying to be difficult or dense, I'm just not sure what you are referring to.

Large context allows a surprising amount of "learning" to happen at inference time rather than training time. I think that is relatively unexplored. As long as the model itself has passed a certain threshold of smarts, and the context is large enough (Gemini and its million token context being WAY past that point) you are not really limited by the model, you are only limited by how good the stuff you feed into that context is.

That's what happened when, nearly a year ago, I saw a major leap in capabilities that happened entirely on my end.... not in the AI, but in code written by the AI. I found it genuinely frighting to be honest. I think OpenClaw tapped into something similar, which seemed to surprise a lot of people. There were latent capabilities in the AI that were unknown until brought out by a clever harness.
