The term “first principles” makes me irrationally angry, mostly because it replaced far more whimsical phrases like “let’s get down to brass tacks”
the real AI benchmark is whether it can help me figure out why prod is down when i’m half asleep
we put Codex through a few production incident demos. it investigates and proposes fixes while you approve what ships.

A hardware concept with a PN532 reader, ESP32, and addressable LEDs.
Codex + PIO Agent. What will you build? pioagent.dev
oddly horrifying project
you can just hallucinate the entire internet with Qwen 3.8 27b running at 2,000 tokens/second?
part 2 of turning @cerebras + @Alibaba_Qwen 3.8 27B into an OS:
built an offline browser with zero network calls and mounted it directly the JIT ubuntu desktop.
no wifi. no scraping. zero packets sent to external CDNs.
you search a site, set a year, and qwen 27b at 1,950 tok/s synthesizes the entire DOM on the fly.
here is youtube in 2045 vs 1999:
→ search google for youtube inside the OS
→ scrub to 2045: instant futuristic feed
→ scrub to 1999: raw web 1.0 time capsule in seconds
at this speed, browsing isn't retrieving files from a server, it's querying an alternate reality.
a 2D browser window is just step zero.
imagine full operating systems, virtual worlds, and complex simulation engines existing purely as model weights. zero gigabytes stored on disk, just pure interactive reality streamed on demand.
What else becomes a possibility with the qwen 3.8 27b (dense) at 2000 tokens/sec?
Codex can now ship to hardware!
PIO Agent 3.0: build, flash, monitor, diagnose, and automate PlatformIO projects. It’s how I made the Codex Furby.
Go make something cool for Dev Day:
npm i -g pio-agent

Someone should put an agent in a loop to get the permits approved to rebuild the Sutro Baths
I’m beyond impressed by how quickly we’ve decreased cost of lidar sensors
STMicroelectronics VL53L9CX
2.3K LiDAR Sensor
$63.36 each, $49.58 @ 25
They fit a whole WAYMO in this thing. Not really. I2C/I3C + CSI interfaces for up to 100Hz update rate. Supports <5cm-8.8m ranging.
