    What happens when intelligence becomes cheap? Data systems for agents, operated by agents, and built by agents

    Berkeley's EPIC Data Lab argues that as inference costs have fallen from around $30 per million tokens for GPT-4-level models in early 2023 to under $1 today—and below $0.10 at some vendors—data systems face three new challenges: systems designed for agents, systems operated by agents, and systems built by agents.

    new post on harness engineering for AI self-improvement: https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2026-07-04-harness/ It is hard to forecast how much the future of RSI will rely on harnesses. Likely harness engineering will evolve in the direction of self-improvement and enable auto-research, and, in turn, smarter models keeps harnesses simple. Even when many harness improvement get eventually internalized into core model, the need to specify goals and context will not disappear.

    Karpathy on Claude Tag: the third paradigm shift in LLM interaction

    Anthropic has introduced Claude Tag, letting Claude join Slack as a team member with access to designated channels and tools; users can delegate tasks by mentioning it. Karpathy calls this the third major redesign of the LLM interface: first came visiting websites, then downloading apps, and now an autonomous, persistent, asynchronous entity with organization-wide tools and context working alongside human teams. He says this requires deep engineering across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, and security, but is achievable.
