Is GPT-5.5 finally a 4.7-tier model? Did DeepSeek V4 just close the gap with Anthropic? And what does it mean that a senior ML engineer says he can't out-code Claude anymore? Co-hosts Shimin Zhang, Dan Lasky, and Rahul Yadav are joined by special guest Nathan Lubchenco — ML engineer and Substack author of *The future was yesterday* (https://nathanlubchenco.substack.com/) — on ADI Pod #23 (April 28, 2026).This episode covers OpenAI's GPT-5.5 release, DeepSeek V4 (1.6T base / 49B active params with 1M context), Meta's new Model Capability Initiative tracking US employee keystrokes and mouse movements, a Levenshtein-distance study on coding-model over-editing, the 2026 Stanford AI Index report, and a deep-dive interview on how to hire software engineers when the agents are already better at coding than the candidates.Key takeaways— Models are now consistently better at coding than even senior ML engineers, by their own admission. Late-2026 may be when they cross the median software engineer.— Coding-model over-editing is measurable (Levenshtein distance on boolean-flip tasks) and instruction-followable — explicit "minimum-edit" prompts close most of the gap.— The US is unusually a slow adopter of a major technological wave. Workplace AI usage is highest in emerging economies, not the developed world.— "The task is not the job" — humans remain indispensable on the bundling dimensions: catching what customers don't say, and avoiding interactions that end up on social media.— Software engineering interviews should include the candidate's personal harness, with company-provided API keys for equity. LeetCode optimizes for the wrong signal in 2026.— DeepSeek V4 closing the gap with Mythos in 3–6 months is what makes the bubble too geopolitically important to fail.Chapters(00:00) - Cold Open & Welcome (01:31) - News Threadmill: GPT-5.5, DeepSeek V4, Meta Watches Every Keystroke (12:28) - Post-Processing: Coding Models Are Doing Too Much (18:59) - Post-Processing: The Task Is Not the Job (Luis Garicano) (32:20) - Post-Processing: The 2026 Stanford AI Index Report (38:11) - Deep Dive: Interviewing Engineers in the AI Age (with Nathan Lubchenco) (45:05) - Deep Dive: Reforming Software Hiring — Take-Homes, Personal Harness, Equity (50:15) - Deep Dive: When Models Cross the Median Engineer (Late-2026 Prediction) (59:29) - Deep Dive: Why Code Review Is the Current Bottleneck (01:00:21) - Deep Dive: Should PRs Show the Prompt History?

Is Claude Opus 4.7 really burning tokens? Is open source dead after mythos? Co-hosts Shimin Zhang and Dan Lasky — with recurring guest Rahul Yadav — ran the experiments this week on ADI Pod #22 (April 21, 2026).This episode covers Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 release (the "mythos slice"), Alibaba's open-source Qwen 3.6 35B A3B, cal.com going closed source for security reasons, and a HIPAA-violating vibe-coded patient portal that is, in Dan's words, the bullshit future already here.In this episode▸ **Claude Opus 4.7 review** — the new mythos-derived tokenizer (3× bloat on plain English), stricter instruction-following, and why Shimin's SVG experiments suggest the token-burn panic is overblown: 35¢ on Opus 4.7 vs $2 on Opus 4.6 for the same task, with ~40× fewer reasoning tokens.▸ **Qwen 3.6 35B A3B** — Alibaba's open-source mixture-of-experts model (3B active params at any time) running locally on Shimin's laptop at 90–95 tokens/sec via llama.cpp + Unsloth. The first model to break Simon Willison's pelican-on-a-bicycle benchmark against a larger frontier model.▸ **cal.com goes closed source** — why the AI Security Institute's $12,000-per-attempt mythos pentesting data ($125,000 for 10 runs) is changing the open-source calculus, and Drew Breunig's three-phase dev/review/hardening cycle prediction.▸ **Jesse Vincent's "Rules and Gates"** — a coding-agent prompting technique that reformulates optional preferences into directed preconditions, and whether agents can "weasel out" by rewriting the gate itself.▸ **AI vibe coding horror story** — a German doctor who inlined a full patient portal into a single HTML page with database credentials client-side. HIPAA, meet DSGVO.▸ **Kyle Kingsbury's "The Future of Everything is Lies"** — the Jepsen author's 8-step action list on AI's second- and third-order societal effects.▸ **The AI-on-AI Arena** — Shimin's weekend project grading 11 frontier models against each other. The "delusion index" reads almost exactly like Dunning-Kruger in humans: GPT-5.4 scored -1.6 (humble), Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview rated itself well while peers ranked it last.▸ **Two Minutes to Midnight** — Paul Graham's log-scale chart comparing AI capex (~1% of US GDP) to the US railroad peak (~10%). We dialed the AI bubble clock back 45 seconds to 3 min 30 sec.Key takeaways— Opus 4.7's token-burn reputation may be overblown. Stricter instruction-following can reduce total reasoning tokens by up to 40× vs Opus 4.6 on the same task.— Security-driven closed-sourcing may spread as mythos-class agents make open repos easier to exploit. Hardening could make software capital-intensive again.— Cognitive debt is real: Dan's wake-up call was a production bug a pre-LLM colleague solved in 5 minutes. His first instinct was to double down on the tool.— Shimin's defense against skill atrophy: read 100% of LLM-generated PR lines (except tests).— Weaker models rate themselves higher than stronger ones. Calibration appears to improve with capability.Chapters(00:00) - Introduction to AI and Software Development (02:25) - Alibaba's Quinn 3.6 Model Overview (08:06) - Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 Release (18:08) - Cal.com Goes Closed Source: Implications for Security (20:40) - The Future of Vibe Coding (23:41) - Techniques for Effective AI Utilization (27:13) - Post-Processing and AI in Real-World Applications (33:07) - The Cultural Impact of AI and Technology (41:30) - Navigating Code Review Challenges (42:57) - Exploring AI's Societal Impact (45:16) - Evaluating AI Models: Performance and Insights (49:09) - The Future of Data Centers and AI (50:54) - Investment Trends and Economic Perspectives (57:58) - Reflections on Historical Investment Cycles (59:35) - Optimism Amidst Uncertainty Resources mentionedClaude Opus 4.7 & Qwen 3.6• Introducing Claude Opus 4.7 (Anthropic): https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-7• Claude Opus 4.7 System Card: https://cdn.sanity.io/files/4zrzovbb/website/037f06850df7fbe871e206dad004c3db5fd50340.pdf• Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic Coding Power, Now Open to All: https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.6-35b-a3b• Simon Willison — Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on my laptop drew me a better pelican than Claude Opus 4.7: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/16/qwen-beats-opus/• Shimin — Opus 4.7 isn't dumb, it's just lazy: https://shimin.io/journal/opus-4-7-just-lazy/Security & open source• Cal.com is going closed source.

Shimin and Dan cover Minimax's M2.7 model — the first public experimental result in recursive self-improvement (RSI) — and unpack Anthropic's shock announcement of Mythos, a model so capable at finding security vulnerabilities that Anthropic is withholding public release while partnering with Amazon, Apple, Cisco, CrowdStrike, the Fed and major banks under 'Project Glasswing' to patch infrastructure first. They also debate AI's frontend weakness, discuss Addy Osmani's parallel agent limits piece, and move the AI bubble clock back.Takeaways: RSI is now experimentally demonstrated (not just theorized); reframes model improvement as capital competition, not PhD hiring.If AI finds vulns at scale, open source gets *more* secure long-term — but short-term this is a nuclear-test-equivalent event that may rewrite security, money, and trust assumptions.'Frontend will be first automated' was wrong; backend may be easier because visual taste and pixel-perfect feedback loops aren't in training dataAgent orchestration has a personal ceiling; finding it requires blowing past it. Tight scope + time-boxing + new contexts beats monolithic long sessions.'Code is cheap' is really about industrialization — the people who industrialize outcompete those who don't; learn the tools or be left behind.OpenAI's CRO going public on a competitor's accounting is itself a bearish signal about OpenAI's enterprise position.Resources MentionedMiniMax M2.7: The Agentic Model That Helped Build ItselfAnthropic debuts preview of powerful new AI model Mythos in new cybersecurity initiativeAssessing Claude Mythos Preview’s cybersecurity capabilitiesWhy AI Sucks At Front EndYour parallel Agent limitCode Is Cheap Now, And That Changes Everything The AI gold rush is pulling private wealth into riskier, earlier bets OpenAI CRO Tells Staff Anthropic Inflates Run Rate by $8 BillionChapters(00:00) - Introduction to AI and Software Development (02:45) - Minimax M 2.7 Model and Recursive Self-Improvement (05:04) - Anthropic's Mythos Model and Security Vulnerabilities (08:15) - AI's Limitations in Front-End Development (18:13) - Cognitive Debt and Managing Multiple AI Agents (32:01) - Managing Multiple Agents Effectively (34:42) - The Evolution of Code Value (38:29) - The Industrialization of Coding (41:00) - Navigating Cloud Code Challenges (45:39) - Ranting About Technology Installations (50:16) - The State of the AI Bubble Connect with ADIPodEmail us at [email protected] you have any feedback, requests, or just want to say hello! Checkout our website www.adipod.ai
