Best AI coding models

`2:23:23`

... bespoke applications that just appear magically. I'm thinking the area of AI I find truly intriguing are these live gaming models, I don't know if you've seen that, where the AI's inventing literally the next frame, but you can actually play the game. And I think if they're able to do that, why can't we do that with our operating system? Why can't we just talk to it and ask it to be a different way or change, and it'll all just change? I think this, by the way, is one of the other breakthroughs that is going to lead to the total domination of Linux. The agents have taken all the hardship out of diagnosing Linux systems and turned the fact that Linux produces these overly specific, totally arcane error messages into its greatest advantage. When Linux has an issue, the agent can take that very specific error message that makes no sense to a normal human and correlate it with the fact that the agent was pre-trained on 40 million lines of Linux code, so it knows exactly where to look and dial it down.

I have not had a single problem on my Linux machine since the beginning of this year that an agent could not diagnose. That was not true a year and a half ago. A year and a half ago, I was still searching on forums-... to find answers to esoteric questions. Now the agents know the source code of not just the Linux operating system, but every single piece of software I have on that box. The agent has access to the source code of all of it. In fact, this was one thing I built in just before we, uh, we shipped. So once you set up your default agent-... Omarchy Quattro has a crash watcher. If any app on your machine crashes, it'll pop up a little thing, ask you whether you want your AI to diagnose the problem.

Unbelievable. I've seen things where there's an error in some subsystem. Some, some... Not even Linux, just some app I installed. The agents start digging through the logs and looks up systemd log. Then it checks out the damn source code. Of the application that crashed, pins down that it's in this Rust file line 472 that there's an unbounded, unwrapped variable that overflowed or whatever it is. Then offers you whether you wanna file a bug report with all this detail. I'll give you one amazing anecdote. So I was working with this guy JDX, who's working on mise. This, this package manager for fast-moving development tools. This is how we manage all the agent software and so forth. Normal package managers are not built to be updated seven times a day. And all of these agent harnesses are updated about seven times a day, so we needed an out-of-band package manager, and mise just turns out to be perfect for this. Anyway, it had a small bug. There was some race condition which agents are very good at finding because when you start running multiple agents at the same time, they will suss out all these race conditions you have in your underlying infrastructure that was never triggered by a human trying to do manual thing. So it finds this issue, right? I tell I tell the agent, "Hey, can you post this as a bug report to JDX's GitHub?" And unfortunately, right before that, I had had to do a QA run on Omarchy itself with eight different agents. It had found 28 real issues-...

that it needed to file. Well, it went to GitHub and tried to file all 28 issues at the same time, which it did in about, uh, I don't know, 12 seconds. GitHub, not unreasonably, marked that as probable spam and banned-... my Omarchy bot. And then I couldn't do that. So I was blocked from the bot having access to GitHub, so I just told it, "Hey, do you know what? Just email JDX. Here's his email address." I had already set it up with hey.com-... an email address. We have a CLI that's in beta right now. So I set it up with that so it can send to email. That's how it gives me reports about outstanding issues and PRs. So it sends, um, JDX this email about the bug it found, and he was like, "Wait, this is the first time I've gotten a bug report in unreleased software." Because it had downloaded the source code to mise, saw that he had already fixed the bug, but that it would not fix the problem entirely in software they had not shipped yet. Pinpointed the problem, and he was like, "Damn it-... I got a bug report before we even cut a release."
