The release of Opus 4.5 in November 2025 was the dividing line, because it was the first time an agent produced work uncannily close to what its user would have written themselves.
Then we get to November 24th, 2025. Opus 4.5, to me, was the dividing line, where suddenly... I didn't even try it on the 24th. I think I tried it on the 26th. I give it a couple of tasks, and I realize that the quality…

An open weights model from 2025 with a pentest harness could already escape a sandbox and hack most networks; the surprise says more about the sandbox than the model.
I genuinely believe that if you took an open weights model from 2025 and built a pentest harness for it, it could do this kind of sandbox escape and scan/hack in most networks. This is only surprising because you assume…

Robotics is not easier than self-driving; it is simply being attempted in a year when perception actually generalises.
