<p>one feels the llm wow moment whenever what they do on an area has been surpassed by an llm.  newer versions of llms are probably trained by the feedback from developer code agent sessions; so this is probably why pro developers started to feel "wow" recently.<p>the real challenge will be in the frontier of the human knowledge and whether llms will be able to advance things forward or not.<p>ps1;  i'm using 5.3/o4.6/k2.5/m2.5/glm5 and others daily for development - so my work has 1.5x intensified - i tackle increasingly harder problems but llms still really fail big in brand new challenges like i fail too.  so i'm more alert than ever.<p>ps2: syntactical autocomplete used to write 80% of my code; now llms replaced autocomplete but at a semanticlevel; i think and LLM implements most of my actions like a cerebellum for muscle coordination; but sometimes teaching me new info from the net.</p>

<p>Mini swe agent, as an academic tool, can be easily tested aimed to show the power of a simple idea against any LLM. You can go and test it with different LLMs. Tool calls didn't work fine with smaller LLM sizes usually. I don't see many viable alternatives less than 7GB, beyond Qwen3 4B for tool calling.<p>> right tools allow small models to perform better than undirected tool like bash to do everything.<p>Interesting enough the newer mini swe agent was refutation of this hypothesis for very large LLMs from the original swe agent paper (<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.15793" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.15793</a>) assuming that specialized tools work better.</p>

<p>> Apple is planning to expand its advertising business significantly by placing more ads directly on users' devices directly, Bloomberg reports.  The expansion would include bringing ads to more of Apple's own apps on iPhones and iPads, including Apple Maps.<p>I smile remembering "if you don't pay you're the product" which apple lovers lobbied looking at G users, hinting they payment for extra margins will save them from being ad targeted.<p>But now:<p>- Paying won't save you from ads.<p>- You're paying but you're still the product<p>- And ultimately Apple also gets huge sums from Google, for selling their users.</p>
