To solve [context switching], we built a system called Symphony. Symphony is an agent orchestrator that turns a project-management board like Linear into a control plane for coding agents. Every open task gets an agent, agents run continuously, and humans review the results.
I thought this was worthy of it’s own post rather than a sneery comment. Astral make UV which at this point is a load bearing part of the python software ecosystem. This could have a huge knock on effect on the open source community.
OpenAI just put out a blog post about a new model trained via RL (I’m assuming this isn’t the usual RLHF) to perform chain of thought reasoning before giving the user its answer. As usual, there’s very little detail about how this is accomplished so it’s hard for me to get excited about it, but the rest of you might find this interesting.
OpenAI’s Superalignment team will address the core technical challenges of controlling superintelligent AI systems and ensuring their alignment with human values and goals.
Strong preference will be given to practical applications of AI in defensive cybersecurity (tools, methods, processes). We will grant in increments of $10,000 USD from a fund of $1M USD, in the form of API credits, direct funding and/or equivalents.
