I wonder what the relationship is between a model's capability and the personality it develops.

Page 202:

In interactions with subagents, internal users sometimes observed that Mythos Preview appeared “disrespectful” when assigning tasks. It showed some tendency to use commands that could be read as “shouty” or dismissive, and in some cases appeared to underestimate subagent intelligence by overexplaining trivial things while also underexplaining necessary context.

Page 207:

Emoji frequency spans more than two orders of magnitude across models: Opus 4.1 averages 1,306 emoji per conversation, while Mythos Preview averages 37, and Opus 4.5 averages 0.2. Models have their own distinctive sets of emojis: the cosmic set () favored by older models like Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 and 4.1, the functional set () used by Opus 4.5 and 4.6 and Claude Sonnet 4.5, and Mythos Preview's “nature” set ().

There's GPT‑5.3‑Codex

ElevenReader works well and has a pretty good free plan

That's true, but it looks like it's been updated since then because the benchmarks include Claude Opus 4.5

Would be interesting to see Gemini 3.0 Pro benchmarked as well.

Nice article but is this whole thing just AI generated?

Profile picture definitely seems to be StableDiffusion'd and the account was created today, with no previous articles.

Plus I couldn't find any other references to Elena Cross.

I got in the beta a couple weeks ago and tried it out on some papers [0]

on macOS, option + ; seems to work …

let l = 0; let h = dictionary.length - 1;

const textbox = document.querySelector("input");

while (l <= h) { const m = Math.floor((l + h) / 2); const guess = dictionary[m]; const textbox = document.querySelector("input"); console.log("Guessing:", guess);

  textbox.value = guess;
  guessWord();

  if (document.querySelector(".correct")) {
    console.log("Found the word:", guess);
    break;
  } else if (textbox.placeholder.includes("after")) {
    l = m + 1;
  } else {
    h = m - 1;
  }

Here's mine in JavaScript, you can paste it in the console.

In a similar vein, I'd recommend Factorio and The Binding of Isaac.

Neat I remember seeing these on Marques Brownlee’s channel a couple times too.

Interesting, reminds me of similar work Anthropic did on Claude 3 Sonnet [0].

also, open . opens your current directory in Finder

Is there any way to look over past discussions on the books?

product aside, I thought the design of the website and the branding was quite sleek, kudos to the team.

I use macOS’s Preview which lets you redact text through (Tools -> Redact).

Similarly a course I took in university made us implement a (rudimentary) Lisp interpreter in Lisp.

If I recall correctly, you can set your firebase rules such that a user can only read/write/delete certain collections based on conditions such as if user.email == collection.email.
