it sounds like a bad abstraction. ime llms are really bad at reasoning through efficiency and utilization problems. they fail at scheduling and bin-packing for the same reason. it's actually difficult, multivariate, and not great.

i would be shocked if a well designed framework were less efficient than "bespoke" clankercode for low-level work

This is probably true. Today. But I think we're finding the problems LLMs are solving to be both paradoxically predictable but surprising at the same time. Not saying you're wrong, but scheduling and bin-packing seem like cards that will eventually fall to a bespoke prompt.

I mean, the post was written by a Stanford CS lab, so I'm inclined to believe that they know what they're talking about and are not just bad at creating abstractions.
