    We gave 4 frontier models one prompt: build a KV-cache debugger, exact formulas, no shortcuts. All four got the hard arithmetic right. Then GLM 5.2 shipped a preset off by 2.667x. Wrong layer count, no warning, the other four presets fine. The cheapest model was the only one

    5 AI repos this week that make coding agents ship like seniors. Three install as skills. Two ship as full tools. Spec, taste, tokens, security, and the job hunt. 1. Addy Osmani’s agent-skills packs 24 production engineering skills and 8 slash commands across 70+ agents. 2.

    5/ Fork the repo. Fill your profile. Let Claude Code run the job hunt. AI Job Search is a Claude Code workspace, not a chatbot prompt. /setup builds the profile. /scrape and /rank find and score roles. /apply runs a drafter-reviewer loop, compiles LaTeX, and checks the PDF text

    4/ The agent can ship more than you can review. So what are you still for? Stay out of every keystroke. Stay on constraints, sampling, audit, and ownership. Put verification inside the loop. Put humans at the highest-leverage checkpoint. An accountability contract on a change

    Cognition trained SWE-1.7 by running large scale RL on top of Kimi K2.7 Code, a base model Moonshot had already put through heavy RL. It gained 12.2 points on top of that base anyway. The common belief that RL hits a ceiling after post training didn't hold. More details in

    /9 The takeaway. A base model that already went through full RL post training absorbed a second RL run and improved by double digits. If that holds up outside Cognition's own evals, the post training ceiling was never a ceiling. It was an entropy problem with an engineering fix.

    Introducing SWE-1.7, the most capable model we’ve trained yet. It scores within a few points of the strongest frontier models at a fraction of the cost, and is now available at 1000 tok/s. RL is not hitting its limit: after refining our recipe, we keep seeing gains as we scale
