It just like is essentially everything I wish I had said.

coming out of the gate.

But yeah, let's talk about that.

So there's this inflection point right around December, and everybody knows that this is true.

Intrinsically, people can just, they just feel it.

Yeah, so let's add some context there.

So I've been working on GitHub Copilot for literally for years.

So I've been with it since GPT-4.1, which is kind of like the first model we got.

And I actually created a custom chat mode called Beast Mode, which would just get 4.1 to like...

do things like just to get the model to do something instead of telling you it was going to do something and then not doing anything at all.

And, and, and then we, the model started to get better.

And then we got Sonnet three, five and Sonnet three, five was like, I mean, it was crazy, right?

People were building all kinds of stuff with it.

Yeah, it would actually do the thing and it would build you a nice purple gradient website every single time.

But the point is that like it could do a lot, but it was a really sloppy model.

Like it just would generate a lot of spaghetti code.

Sonnet models are super eager.

So they want to please you.

And so they end up just doing whatever.

just running kind of willy-nilly through your code base, but they will build things agentically.
