• OpenAI o3 and o4-mini – OpenAI

  The big step function here seems to be RL on tool calling. Claude 3.7/3.5 are the only models that seem to be able to handle "pure agent" usecases well (agent in a loop, not in an agentic workflow scaffold[0]). OpenAI has made a bet on reasoning models as the core to a purely agentic loop, but it hasn't worked particularly well yet (in my own tests, though folks have hacked a Claude Code workaround[1]). o3-mini... - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• AI Agents — A Software Engineer’s Overview

  Fine-tuning based learning (pre-trained optimization). For example, a language model (e.g., OpenAI Codex) fine-tuned for the software development tasks. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Codestral: Mistral's Code Model

  > there's no CodeGPT, its just GPT4 Codex[1] is OpenAI's CodeGPT. It's what powers GitHub Copilot and it is very good but not publicly accessible. Maybe they don't want something else to outcompete Copilot. [1] https://openai.com/index/openai-codex/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Klarna AI assistant handles two-thirds of customer service chats in first month

  > it would need some human touch but most of the work will be done already By that very loose standard, the matter of time is 2 years 6 months 18 days ago — August 10, 2021 was OpenAI's blog post about the Codex model, with a chat interface producing functional JavaScript: https://openai.com/blog/openai-codex Right now, what I see coming out of these tools (and what I see in the jobs market) gives me the... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Seriously How Far Are We Before We Just Prompt An AI In Any OS to Complete Any Task?

  - Then there's this live demo of OpenAI's Codex but it's not an AI OS like the pin. It does something much better... It creates a script based on what you voice command it to do. So it basically translates that whatever you want into the code to execute that what you said. > However... "As of March 2023, the Codex Models are now deprecated. Please check out our newer Chat models which are able to do many... Source: over 1 year ago

• Maker of AI 'vibe coding' app Cursor hits $9B valuation

  > Makes it an easier sell to devs, "you don't have to 'change' editors" and it makes setup easier if you happen to be using VSC But tying it to an editor (including VSCode) means "you have to change editors". I don't use VSCode, so any solution requiring it is a no-go. When we have aider[1], which works with any editor/IDE, I just don't see the value in trying Cursor, et al.

• Claude Code Best Practices

  There's Aider, Plandex and Goose, all of which let you chose various providers and models. Aider also has a well known benchmark[0] that you can check out to help select models. - Aider - https://aider.chat/ | https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Gemini 2.5 Flash

  Maybe I am not understanding something here. But there are third party options availabe that to the very same thing (e.g. https://aider.chat/ ) which allow you to plug in a model (or even a combination thereof e.g. Deepseek as architect and claude as code writer) of your choice. Therefore the advantage of the model provider providing such a thing doesn't matter, no? - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

• OpenAI Codex

  "gemini 2.5 pro exp" is superior to Claude Sonnet 3.7 when I use it with Aider [1]. And it is free (with some high limit). [1]https://aider.chat/. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• OpenAI Codex

  You don't pay monthly fee to use OpenAI models through the API. You pay per token. https://openai.com/api/pricing/ There are other CLI coding agents like Aider (https://aider.chat/) that will let you point at any model. The problem is that local models are dramatically worse than these big hosted models — I have not seen anyone claim they are good enough for these kind of tools.
