@MichaelStolarzOpus, gen with nano banana pro please
>"That's not a real model — sounds like you're testing me or having a bit of fun."
It's real, Opus. Web search and see for yourself
>"Interesting — let me verify this is actually real..."
>"It... actually worked?"
Read the chat, it's great
@MichaelStolarzthings are already way ahead EOY 2025 than I thought they'd be at the start of the year.
given exponentials and all that, seems like this year will even further outpace my already-insane (to the layman) expectations
will revisit this EOY 2026
@GregKamradt
If you’re paying attention, it’s overwhelming
@MichaelStolarzim wondering if we can piggyback off the mental zombification and steer towards actually learning something, and i mean absolutely anything at all, instead of just full pure 100% filler slop
maybe tung tung sahur can show different types of wood?
AI cat ones teach about Ikigai?
@yacineMTB
What's really surprising about how horrible the short form video that is actually zombifiying all of our families is that there is a small group of maybe 100 people max that are responsible for it, and if they all stopped, a great deal of child and elderly suffering would stop
@MichaelStolarzwe need to generate more web software that generates react websites which sell how-to-generate python courses which teach you how to generate web software that can generate python websites so that you can generate react SaaS websites so you can charge $9/mo to help people gene...
@ludwigABAP
More slop, faster. Accelerate slop. Build more things that don’t matter. Ship slop faster. As a matter of fact, don’t even write the slop. Let it be generated. Generate everything. More web. More react. More python. More web software. x.com/github/status/…
@MichaelStolarzi used to make a lot of separate single use apps for my workflows
now i just make a skill
i am no longer an anthropic basher regarding their agent supplementations
@MichaelStolarzhonestly i couldn't have imagined us being where we are in regards to open models at the end of 2025 with the power level that is @minimax_ai 's M2.1
which means that I will be exponentially more shocked next year, this time.
lets see if that proves true. retweeting in 1 year.
@MichaelStolarzevery day I refresh Groq's model page to see if they added a new model. MiniMax M2? M2.1 now? GLM 4.6? Now 4.7 just released?
nope. still only offering kimi k2.
@MichaelStolarzthis is true because since Q4 2025, with Opus 4.5 / GPT 5.2, a complete normie with 0 coding experience can easily fine tune a model or even make one from scratch
now imagine if a normie can do that,
imagine what the top minds of the world that created these models can do now
@bayeslord
“timelines” don’t matter anymore. we’re in it. the machine is off to the races.
@MichaelStolarzHow quickly have we gone from complaining about a model's intelligence to "yeah it's AGI but it's way too slow"
Intelligence is ~solved soonish; what's next after speed? What happens when there's GPT 6 with Groq/Cerebras speeds?
Intelligence -> speed -> ...financial gain?
@MichaelStolarzomg this is patient 0 btw
i wonder where he is now. someone needs to check in
@ArielKwiat
LLM psychosis before it was cool
@MichaelStolarzI went back to using GPT 5.2 X-High instead of the new GPT 5.2 Codex X-High
The Codex version feels much dumber, at least for the work that I am doing. GPT 5.2 -just gets it-, while the Codex variant needs to be handheld althroughout.
@MichaelStolarzThe only thing stopping me now from completely dropping Claude Opus 4.5 and going 100% GPT 5.2 Codex X-High is speed
I've always been one of the "I don't care about speed as long as it's the smartest SOTA model"...
but after fondling Opus 4.5 for a few days... I miss the speed.
@MichaelStolarzHow did this work out last time, ~250 years ago?
@HBrandstaetter
We Europeans have our laws. You will have to learn to acccept them x.com/undersecpd/sta…
@MichaelStolarzplan mode finally in codex btw
@MichaelStolarzUnlike trying to do creative writing with LLMs, coding is something that, for the most part, has a particular answer, if not an exact answer.
Programming will be "solved" much sooner than creative writing getting to the point where you will preferably read AI-generated fiction.
@SamuelAlbanie
update to That Graph
@MichaelStolarzVibe code with opus 4.5 ultrathink
Fix its tech debt with GPT 5.2 Codex xhigh
Double check any missed tech debt with GPT 5.2 xhigh
@MichaelStolarzI regret having tasted the speed and niche configurability of Claude Code + Opus 4.5.
I know GPT 5.2 / GPT 5.2 Codex are smarter (xhigh versions), but damn it are they slow.
By the time they are done, even though their output is perfect, I forget the direction of development.
@MichaelStolarzwhen codex cli <-> atlas interoperability pls @ah20im @thsottiaux
@claudeai
Using the extension, Claude Code can test code directly in the browser to validate its work. Claude can also see client-side errors via console logs. Try it out by running /chrome in the latest version of Claude Code.
@MichaelStolarzimagine mogging Dia Browser with:
- a 14 second clip
- of a vibecoded chrome plugin
- it does your entire product's vision
- executes it all flawlessly in a tab
@mattstallone
I shipped a feature to @posthog this week, except I don’t work at posthog and posthog didn’t approve it
@MichaelStolarzone of my biggest issues with codex has been solved ever since gpt-5.2 xhigh.
before: first prompts produced the highest quality results, but continuations felt rushed, guessed, non-important
now: every prompt feels like the first prompt experience. i rarely /new anymore.
@MichaelStolarznvim and codex is all you need to be cool these days
even cooler if you use codex headless
feels like the same cool as using nvim in the 2010s and having a super riced out config and obscure plugins no one knows about but are secretly productivity gems
cool != money though
@alxfazio
preferring nvim over vscode > cool preferring cc over cursor > not cool explain this. you can't
@MichaelStolarzhow has no one created a degradation benchmark yet?
check how it performs at different times throughout 24 hours? on weekends? "lazy/holiday EU months"?
I know there was a paper released roughly about this in 2023 but we're due for a way more tried and tested version now
@VictorTaelin
No there's no way this is the Opus 4.5 I used a few days ago. This thing is brain dead. It is completely moronic. I can't accept this is the same model.
@MichaelStolarzand now, tomorrow they're releasing Opus 5.1
it's just going to be called Codex Max 5.2 X-High
and yeah, still slower, but again - you're trading off speed for dozens of IQ points.
@MichaelStolarzcrazy how I can bet on literally anything on gamba sites ("will jimmy steal sarah's lunch from the breakroom again this saturday?")
but i can't somehow bet/invest on xAI/SpaceX lmao
@elonmusk isn't X the everything app? can one of those everythings be investing in non-public?
@levelsio
@ChrisJBakke Yes please @elonmusk let me invest in xAI
@MichaelStolarzyou can use claude opus 5 RIGHT NOW.
no, not opus 4.5.
opus 5.
the only downside is that it's much slower. so if you're fine with trading speed for intelligence, go ahead and use opus 5.
they named it weird this time though, "gpt 5.2 xhigh", and only available on codex cli

@SenSanders
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.
@MichaelStolarzcrazy that we can "invest" in prediction markets like "is jerry going to microwave fish in the break room again on thursday dec 18 2025" yet we can't invest into obvious long horizon wins like the boring company or space x without doing mental gymnastics "indirect investing" … Less

Supportless, free-form 3D printing! ⛓️ By using low-melting-point Fields' metal and shaping it through surface tension, this process can create highly conductive 3D structures in a single pass, no supports, no post-processing. Pretty interesting way of thinking about additive manufacturing, especially for electronics and functional metal parts. Just wow.

@MichaelStolarzopenai's new image gen is a quality upgrade over itself, but definitely not better than google's banana pro image gen.
the yellow tint is gone, but notice the amount of fingers my left hand has, it makes my eyes funky.
banana pro result and prompt used for both in comments

@MichaelStolarzwe're already in the "what are the _ regulations in space? can you do anything there?" phase
next phase: elon or bezos (probably elon!) figures out how to create a country in outer space (or buy it i guess? satellite-level real estate?)
then says "come dock and arrest me then."

@MichaelStolarzone of my guilty displeasures is spy movies and how often unrealistic or improbable things happen
"don't touch your ear when spying" is probably part of day 1 orientation at spy school
yeah i get it, it's roller coaster actionslop entertainment, not a documentary. but still
@007
Stop. Touching. Your ear.
@MichaelStolarzit's crazy to me that it's the complete opposite for me
i use opus 4.5 for speed and when it inevitably starts making mistakes/it's time to clean up its spaghetti code, gpt 5.2 xhigh comes in to save the day (albeit slowly)
@natolambert
Too many cases of starting something in Codex that you think is going great then Opus needs to save the day.
@MichaelStolarznot to mention they now have Opus 4.5 & GPT 5.2 xhigh to help them speed things up
the wheel spins faster.
@ChrisGPT
Hard to imagine how much better Opus models can get with 23B$ worth of tpus from Google over the next 2 years
@MichaelStolarzi always wondered if someone somewhere at least once suffered an attack from this
@sawyerhood
claude code needs an epilepsy warning
@MichaelStolarzgpt 5.2 xhigh on codex went nearly 3h last night
the result was perfectly what I wanted btw
@JonhernandezIA
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?? maybe they went too far with pro? 😂
@MichaelStolarzAnd just like that, I never have to worry about resetting/manually compacting when using GPT 5.2.
They hit it out the park, as usual.
Better long context than the Anthropic models, and that's saying something.
@MichaelStolarzi just dont understand the play here. this is how his time is best spent? what is the end goal? is this his childhood dream he's now pursuing because he can just throw millions at it and force it to happen?
no way is this financially sound right

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Hollywood actor Will Smith is continuing his attempt to make a comeback to rap music by collaborating with influencers. Will teamed up with Adam W as he tries to appeal to a younger audience.
@MichaelStolarzWOAH idk how I missed this crazy detail. this alone takes things to the next level imo. this was always openai's weakness
@steipete
The biggest win for GPT 5.2 is August 2025 as knowledge cut-off date. That's almost a full year more. (5.1 was mid 2024, Opus is at March '25) This + the close timing really pushes the theory that 5.2 should have been 5.0 but sth didn’t work out back then.
@MichaelStolarzlmao remember they were always tagging disney saying all this pr slop of "did u know about this ai content using disney IP, i will never watch disney again if you condone this"
they must have seen it and said damn, if you cant beat em, join em
@Angaisb_
Anti-AI people are going crazy after the OpenAI-Disney deal
@MichaelStolarzgpt 5.2 is the first model that just... gets it. iykyk.
@MichaelStolarzimagine the smell of the people who think saying "imagine the smell" is racist
@MichaelStolarzPLEASE CHATGPT
the only reason why I am not 100% daily driving @OpenAI chatgpt atlas as my browser is because it's missing one crucial component to my workflow
spaces. once chatgpt atlas has spaces, it's game over.

it’s honestly incredible to see software decline in real time these last couple of years i think there are different factors contributing to this nobody cares about the actual craft anymore, which is the consequence from: 1. leetcode interviews and faang interview style adoption - dsa is good but it doesn’t capture real knowledge on building systems 2. constant layoffs and ship jumping with no consequences - ie promo driven culture, ship and dip, no one is held accountable because nobody stays in charge of the product/system long enough to even have the full domain knowledge 3. non technical PMs in charge of product, services and pushing engineering to just ship with little understanding of the space, with only regard for themselves, because they too want that promotion and who cares if prod is broken 4. software engineering is not taking seriously - call it development, programming, whatever but nobody wants to have ownership and people dont care, just try to make the devs ship and the devs try to shit out a bunch of awful stuff to stay employed 5. with the addition of ML/AI into the picture we have a lot of brilliant folk who just wanna work in the AI space, which ofc is interesting but so is software engineering as a whole, a lot of challenging problems everywhere and AI is part of swe id say, we have people trying to ship AGI unable to run a crud app 6. the death of excellence - this feels like a global problem everywhere you go and look at, the decaying state of things, lack of domain knowledge or willingness to learn - a global cultural phenomenon? maybe i need to touch some grass
@MichaelStolarzit feels like this because 99.9% of the time it's either ragebait or they are so incredibly wrong you would need way more than a tweet to even nudge them towards the correct direction
@AIWarper
I’m at the stage in my life where, if I’m about to reply to someone who’s completely wrong about a subject I’m literally an SME in, I stop immediately and close the app. I suspect a lot of us do this in modern internet culture, tbh.
@MichaelStolarzwe're really shifting from a world of man vs. man into man vs. self
ironically those that would have been the most ferocious warriors of the past are instead today's guiding light in the ever-deepening tunnel of self despair
@MichaelStolarzif you talk to your AI as if it's a terrible programmer, correcting its slightest mistakes with demeaning namecalling and ridicule,
it will continue to play the role you've just given it
@MichaelStolarzwhether you think the AI can or cannot,
you're right.
@MichaelStolarzrecently went from 1g (yes, 1,000mg) of caffeine to 200mg
used to take it (200mg) in the morning, 11am, 1pm, 4pm.
now only in the morning after waking cortisol spike is over
cleaner focus. the previous dosage added "feel-good" but no performance increase
@MichaelStolarzthis is true for the web apps but completely the opposite for the APIs. I have no idea why
I can't imagine doing mathematical work with any claude model, the only ones I trust are codex 5.1 xhigh and gemini 3 pro.
everyone else is guessing trash, literally "eh, maybe this?..."
