I'm an engineer at BuildForever, would be happy to chat about Avery/AI-driven development in general if anyone has questions or comments!

Questions posed in bad faith can only be answered by the author.

Because there's an unlimited amount of work to do. This is the same reason you are not fired once completing a feature :-) The point of hiring a FTE is to continue to create work that provides business value. For your analogy, FTEs often do that by hiring temp, and you can think of the agent as the new temp in this case - the human drives an infinite amount of them

As always, the limit is human bandwidth. But that's basically what AI-forward companies are doing now. I would be curious which tasks OP commenter has that couldn't be done by an agent (assuming they're a SWE)

Yes, but benchmarks like this are often flawed because leading model labs frequently participate in 'benchmarkmaxxing' - ie improvements on ARC-AGI2 don't necessarily indicate similar improvements in other areas (though it does seem like this is a step function increase in intelligence for the Gemini line of models)

Those won’t be sufficient to run SOTA/trillion parameter models

You should! This blog post doesn't really give any reason to use it besides "it's better on Cursor's internal benchmark". A full model card would be great.

I think the argument is that tools like Claude Code will cause more companies to just build solutions in-house rather than purchase from a vendor.

BuildForever | On-site (SF, NY) | Full-time

We’re a small team of creative builders (ex-OpenAI, Pinterest, startups) crafting consumer products that feel personal, magical, and deeply human. We build for ourselves first, with the belief that what delights us will resonate with millions more. We imagine a new golden age of consumer software - crafted with heart, emotion, and taste. Small, inspired teams building things that feel lovingly made, purposeful, and joyful to use. If that sounds like your happy place, you’ll fit right in.

We have several positions available. Please send us a note at careers@buildforever.com with a short intro and links to what you’ve built (systems, repos, tools, prototypes, side projects). We care more about your taste, technical creativity, and product intuition than resumes.

I don't have any recommendations for notifications, texts, or phone calls, but for email custom clients help a lot. I use extra.email, have heard good things about Superhuman etc as well, it lets me customize notification settings by narrow categories
