AI Coding Agent Benchmarks & Leaderboard
We measure real-world performance of coding agents on software engineering tasks, including cost, token usage, and execution time. We compare how performance changes across agents, models, and execution settings.

Learning to Reason with LLMs
We are introducing OpenAI o1, a new large language model trained with reinforcement learning to perform complex reasoning. o1 thinks before it answers—it can produce a long internal chain of thought before responding to the user.

AI generated security reports about curl
I have held back on writing anything about AI or how we (not) use AI for development in the curl factory. Now I can't hold back anymore. Let me show you the most significant effect of AI on curl as of today - with examples. Bug Bounty Having a bug bounty means that we offer … Continue reading The I in LLM stands for…

"Attention", "Transformers", in Neural Network "Large Language Models"
I find this literature irritating and opaque. This is at least somewhat because I do not yet understand it well, and there's too much of it. But clearly I need to wrap my head around it, before I become technically obsolete. My scare quotes in the title of these notes thus derive in part from jealousy and fear. But…

Where's the shovelware? Why AI coding claims don't add up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

Alpaca: A strong open-source instruction-following model
Instruction-following models such as GPT-3.5 (text-davinci-003), ChatGPT, Claude, and Bing Chat have become increasingly powerful. Many users now interact with these models regularly and even use them for work. However, despite their widespread deployment, instruction-following models still have many deficiencies…

Understanding LSTM Networks (2015)
Humans don’t start their thinking from scratch every second. As you read this essay, you understand each word based on your understanding of previous words. You don’t throw everything away and start thinking from scratch again. Your thoughts have persistence.
