<p>Exactly. I don't understand how so many developers seem to have a long tail of well written task specifications ready to submit to the LLM.
Who produces them?</p>

<p>I keep seeing this but I'm not sure it is effective in the long run *if unsupervised*.<p>"Review quality and fix" doesn't mean a lot without context.<p>Does it mean to remove unused features and simplify the underlaying code? Does it mean changing the data structures to better support future development? Does it mean improving performance because of bottlenecks?<p>You are supposed to tell an LLM what your codebase needs, but if you just vibe code without knowing the code, "review quality and fix" will have unexpected results</p>

<p>The point is that there aren't many complex tasks were fable delivers a significant value increase over cheaper models.<p>Single prompting a very complex tasks is rare even on frontier models, because it can be done successfully only for specific situations (e.g. you have a very strong verification step the model can iterate on).<p>Most of my everyday usage is for smaller takes, were you don't really get the benefit of the most expensive models, and my guess is that is the case for the most users</p>

<p>> do we think we're discovering that Chrome had more big holes than we thought or are we raising the security bar by fixing smaller holes?<p>To me the most probable explanation is that they automated a way to find (and fix) existing vulnerabilities in a way that was not possible before.<p>Some holes were probably very small, some were probably almost impossible to actually exploit, I don't doubt it. But still, I find it very hard to not consider this a strong security improvement overall (unless they made those numbers up)</p>

<p>Of course it is just tokens, but the result is the same.<p>If, in the amount of data they ingested, there was a clear pattern of responding in an hasty and carefree way to frenetic questions, LLMs will try more hasty and carefree solutions to a frenetic prompt.<p>You can decide whether you can say that they "feel" the urgency or not, but the outcome is very much the same</p>

<p>An approach that works really well for me in opencode is to use DeepSeek flash for the code exploration sub agent, and a smarter model for the overall task.<p>Code exploration tends to burn a ton of tokens and do not require frontier knowledge. It then returns a compact overview of the findings to the better model, that can therefore perform its task with less tokens.<p>Anyone else has a similar approach?</p>

<p>You need agents.md and similar for indications about stuff that is not in the code itself. There are plenty of use cases for that, the alternative is have the LLM guess the most probable solution, which may be correct but may also be wrong.</p>
