The team @Alephic_AI gave 45 AI models the same March Madness bracket and a set of tools. GPT-4o Mini picked teams that weren't in the tournament. One model started googling in French at step 72. Grok 4 named itself "Zero Groks Given." We built three difficulty modes to figure out what scaffolding actually matters. Some fun stuff from @heyitsnoah alephic.com/writing/model-ma…

New Forward Deployed episode with Chris Papasadero on what Green Berets, Palantir FDEs, and film showrunners have in common when it comes to building agentic systems. We hope @RLanceMartin will be back as co-host soon! forwarddeployed.com/p/forwar…

A very good look in to how @heyitsnoah is working nowadays and also a little more on what we are doing with @Alephic_AI! “For this, Brier gave Claude Code the big points he wants to make and a working title, “Transformers are eating the world,” following the thesis that LLMs are displacing a bunch of specialized code. He also feeds in an anecdote about the Simple Sabotage Field Manual, a relic from World War II, which I was pleasantly surprised to see in a talk about AI and marketing.”
