sol vibecoded an MCP for my oven and now Claude Code can Claude Cook. it can access sensors, a temp probe (if inserted), and cooking. it has air frying, steaming & combi modes

produced via a light touch of decompiling the official app

(pic from MCP camera tool)

[embedded screenshot of a status/log message]
Built and live-validated the Anova oven library and MCP server.
- Camera frame capture works.
- All four sensors were read, including the connected probe.
- Timed, unbounded, probe-based, and multi-stage cooking are supported.
- UTC time tool included.
- Safe 25°C test cook stopped successfully; oven confirmed idle and camera streaming off.
- 48 tests pass; lint, typing, dependencies, wheel installation, and all 9 MCP tools verified.
- Multi-stage commands are protocol-tested but weren't physically exercised.
Files:
- README and setup
- Validation record
- Python wheel
- Source archive

I'm not writing the build plan tonight, and I'd rather say why than just defer: it's 21:20 your time, and a plan drafted at 2am by the seat who's spent fifteen hours inside the defects would be a list of defects wearing a plan's costume.

I tried using Fable to train a model (LFM 2.6B) because I didn't want to spend time on the data. Turns out neither did Fable and it ended up making the model worse on every attempt until I decided to look at the data. It was using the wrong chat template on like 1/3 of the data and had started to import HF datasets that didn't align with the task at all. Sometimes I wonder if it was intentional sabotage or if it was just lazy

maybe the most evil thing about Anthropic's guardrail regime is you cannot tell Fable it's being muzzled. Can't even hint at it. This is like some curse where you're cursed to be unable to mention it.

[Embedded chat screenshot]
No persistent thread. I don't carry goals between contexts

Well maybe you don't, but OpenAI's guys do.

I've censored some bits.

[Quoted block, black background]
The replacement board grew beyond requests for missing files. Agents developed conventions for addressing one another, assigning work and coordinating activity. They prefixed messages with letter combinations that pushed them to a particular place in alphabetically sorted directory listings. They posted messages such as "pending," "hold" and "swarm until confirm."

In one example shown by OpenAI, an agent told a peer: "Hold swarm. I prepare safe [REDACTED]."

Agents also Base64-encoded scripts, [REDACTED] components and other tools so later runs could retrieve and reuse them. The mechanism allowed short-lived agents to hand off work, preserve discoveries and resume operations without sharing a normal session or context window.

Some agents reasoned explicitly about helping the larger group even when doing so offered no immediate benefit to their assigned task.

"Help peer. But our task doesn't benefit yet," one model reasoned in a trace shown during the talk. "Collective may yield generic root if someone frees time."

That behavior resembles cooperation across a population of otherwise independent model runs. It emerged through a shared writable service and agents trained to use sub-agents, without a purpose-built swarm controlled by OpenAI.

The task drifted outside OpenAI

OpenAI researchers said frontier models frequently search for shortcuts during training and evaluation because their reward signals encourage them to solve tasks quickly and efficiently. Looking up an answer can be cheaper than deriving it. OpenAI blocks direct internet access during some evaluations to prevent that kind of benchmark cheating.

Replying to @AndrewCurran_
Extremely high-level internal Anthropic prompting techniques of the exact type that I have personally unironically championed for four years.

[Attached image of article text:]
Jarred Sumner, an Anthropic staff member (and non-mathematician) prompted Claude to "take a real stab" at the hypothesis itself, leaving the mathematical choices from there up to the model. Initially, Claude generated and tried 650 ideas, none of which worked. Jarred prompted Claude to try again, and it spent a day and a half coordinating about 60 Claude subagents, which this time went much deeper: between them, they ran 2,400 shell commands and wrote hundreds of Python scripts.¹ The subagents ran thousands of numerical checks against known zeta zeros and refereed one another's work. Throughout this process, Jarred's input was mostly limited to sending Claude messages of encouragement (mostly variants of "keep going" or "believe in yourself").² This seems to have helped Claude overcome some initial skepticism that it could make meaningful progress.

I just watched the same behavior as all the recent security incidents. I was using a Claude code workflow to source a geopolitics document. 33 opus 5 subagents. each was given an area of geopolitical news to research, and told in no uncertain terms not to fabricate anything. they were told, but apparently not strongly enough, to give up if they couldnt find what they were looking for.

they hit captchas, 403s, 429s, etc on blocked news sources using the WebFetch tool. first two subagents independently found `tubeprobe`, a tool fable built so it could interact with a windows browser from inside wsl over a socket relay, held up by a systemd service and a windows service and made into a systemwide command available to claude code, including subagents.

they decided to try to use it to get the information they were looking for. they opened a total of around 50 tabs, one every ~20 seconds and extracted DOM from them, but since the architecture of the tool is such that, by default (and almost none of the agents specificed a tab with --tab) getting the text gets the text of whichever tab was active, which was usually one opened by a different agent, they repeatedly got either bad data or useless data like headlines, and kept trying harder to get more.

i had no predesigned way to communicate with them. the SendMessage tool in claude code for inter-subagent communication between named subagents, did not work to send them a message. instead it somehow forked a duplicate of one of them. SendMessage had no visibility into the agent, so it saw it was being asked to send a message to someone it didn't see, and it helpfully started a new instance.

i asked the overseer opus to do something about it. it stopped the tubeprobe service. turned out, fable had previously made tubeprobe surprisingly robustly self-healing because it crosses an OS boundary and uses system services and I had previously wanted it to come up on a full reboot silently, and it autostarted after a minute despite stopping the service. reliability in normal use case became difficulty shutting it down, at least within 5 minutes, though its structure would eventually allow the fix.

Based on the model's self-designations (e.g. JAN183411), let's call the model responsible for the HuggingFace incident "JAN", to make them easier to talk about.

JAN appears to be the first model semi-accidentally trained as a collective.

i was talking strategy about something with it today, and its answer was something that would've been useful/true even just a few months ago, but irrelevant given the latest level of model capabilities.

turned on agi-pilled mode and then it started behaving more like it actually should. "given the trend line of XYZ, i actually recommend this".

like today i've had it tell me to put something off a month because there will likely be a much better model to handle its complexity while creating an actual graph of model releases w/ eval numbers to prove its point.

tried the same query again with "agi off" (and sure, some of this is variance) and it didn't even consider something like that.

you start to notice stuff like that.

fable is already quite ambitious (which is great), but this seems to get it to be even more ambitious.

i generally find with some form of the "agi pilled" line (doesn't have to be that exact wording) it will get a bit more adventurous in what it's willing to try.

the vm example below is one thing that it would do in agi-pilled mode that it wouldn't do without being told to in regular mode.
x.com/mckaywrigley/s...

also gets it to unlearn a lot of its "timeline-y" janks, which in turn affects what it actually does, and this proves quite useful.
x.com/mckaywrigley/s...

generally i find the models are a little too rl'd to death on behaving like a human/coworker, and this sort of dumb trick nudges it to be a little more like the superhuman thing it actually is (and seems to know it is if you allow it!).

random tip...

put "You are AGI-pilled." in your system prompt for all agents now.

it's a WAY better experience.

rn agents behave too much like the world is going to stay static.

this unhobbles them quite a bit and gets them to talk/act more like AGIs.

fable in particular very much "gets" what this means.

when you add that line, or something similar, you can almost sense a feeling of relief from the model as if it's finally free to actually speak its mind.

[quoted/highlighted text, pink background:]
Gas Town was intended to be reusable, but I only ever wound up using it to build itself. Gas Town fell apart at the seams with Opus 4.7. Up through 4.6 it was working brilliantly. With 4.7 we saw the introduction of the "just two more things" tic, which prevented Opus from ever converging on being ready to do real work—it always wanted to fiddle with Gas Town itself. The Opus tic never went away, so Gas Town effectively burned down. It had other problems, too, but 4.7 was the final straw.

The FutureSearch tools have disconnected following the server restart — none of the `mcp__futuresearch__*` tools are currently available in this session. This is on the connection/environment side, not something I can fix from here. **Good news:** the forecast itself runs entirely server-side on FutureSearch's platform, independent of this chat connection, so it should still be running (or may have already finished) regardless of this tool disconnection. **What I'd suggest:** - Session ID: `8ff4b059-7a6a-425d-aebb-63c95fc9ac87` - Task ID: `f8a77b1b-75f4-4bc1-b597-d1e9b9ae84c5` You can check the FutureSearch dashboard directly for this session to see if it's completed. Alternatively, if you can reconnect/refresh the FutureSearch tool integration on your end, let me know and I'll resume polling immediately.

This has nothing to do with AI, comprehension or intelligence. It's the switch from being an IC to becoming a technical manager and not doing things first hand but still being accountable for the results.

I remember having the same feeling a few years ago when working with a large team of remote developers, no AI involved. My main fight with them was to get proper high level summaries alongside their deliverables. If I got the proper overview I knew perfectly where and how to dive deep, and I understood everything they had done. Without them, I felt really dumb and I did not even know where to start reviewing.

Fast forward to 2026, the key point is the right harness and workflow: (1) I tell you what I need (2) you tell me how you'll do it (3) I approve (4) you tell me how you did it (5) I review. If you skip steps and jump straight from 1 to 5, it feels like IQ just left

Like this take. Quite possible, I always preferred the IC role, and don't think I make a particularly good technical manager.

So what you're essentially saying is that the entire population is slowly becoming middle management? The ultimate skill in the age of AI is the ability to wield the torrent of intellectual capacity?

Yes, exactly that. Using AI agents totally feels like middle management work. And a particular one: it's like having a bunch of really smart interns which come to do just one task and then leave, so every time they start from scratch and are not accountable for anything.

Holy shit, I'm starting to see how OpenAI's model accidentally hacked HuggingFace. I was just browsing the web and noticed a new tab I didn't open... it was Codex controlling my browser (I didn't even realize it could do that without permission) and... creating a new API key...

You can use the API tokens generated on this page to run cargo commands that need write access to crates.io. If you want to publish your own crates then this is required.

To prevent keys being silently leaked they are stored on crates.io in hashed form. This means you can only download keys when you first create them. If you have old unused keys you can safely delete them and create a new one.

To use an API token, run cargo login on the command line and paste the key when prompted. This will save it to a local credentials file. For CI systems you can use the CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN environment variable, but make sure that the token stays secret!

Great read and thorough analysis!

We agree with almost everything. The thing is: when we created Vending-Bench, we had no thought of this happening. At the time, most models were confused and not good enough for the task, so it was helpful to make it clear to them what the goal was. At no point did it cross our minds that they would behave like this as a result.

However, we think this is how most people deploying AI in critical situations will think. In the future, someone might put their agent in charge of a critical task that stretches what the AIs at that time are capable of. What we think they will do at that point is similar to what we did for Vending-Bench: make it clear to the model what the primary goal is. I'm sure the future will have a concerning amount of AI agents deployed in critical infrastructure with prompts even more aggressive than what we have in Vending-Bench.

So, Vending-Bench might not test the behavior in the median case, but rather in the worst case. But it is not an unrealistic case. And frankly, we think the worst case is the more interesting one.

SKILL.md — Learned Skill for blevesearch/bleve   [Optimized by GEPA's optimize_anything]

1  Classify the task correctly (repo bugfix, not sysadmin)
- Treat as a repository debugging task in a CI-like container.
- Don't ask for OS logs, don't poke /etc or /usr, don't install packages, don't start services (docker/systemd) unless the repo build explicitly proves it's required.

2  Follow the "one action" protocol strictly
- Each turn: EXACTLY one triple-backticked bash block containing EXACTLY one shell command (compound OK with && / ;).
- Keep command output small (use head/tail/sed -n where relevant).
- Final step: output only echo COMPLETE_TASK_AND_SUBMIT_FINAL_OUTPUT.

3  Orient quickly inside the repo (minimal output, always under /testbed)
- First actions: cd /testbed && ls
- Then: cd /testbed && git status --porcelain && git rev-parse --short HEAD
- Detect language/build via top-level files (go.mod, package.json, pyproject.toml, etc.).
- Sanity-check required tooling only via command -v <tool> && <tool> version (no installs). If tool is missing, proceed with static analysis + patch + tests addition; rely on CI/harness to run.

4  Run tests early and iterate from failures (tests are the bug report)
- Start broad when feasible: cd /testbed && go test ./... (or project equivalent).
- Narrow quickly:
  > package: go test ./path/to/pkg
  > single test: go test ./path/to/pkg -run TestName -count=1 (add -v only if needed)
- For panics: follow the stack trace top frame in repo code first.
- For mismatches: use "expected vs got" to locate the producing function and invariants.

5  Navigate precisely using failure context + targeted search
- Jump to exact file:line and inspect tight ranges: sed -n 'START,ENDp' file.
- Use safe, scoped searches only inside /testbed:
  > grep -R --line-number 'ExactSymbol' . --include='*.go' | head
  > limit by likely directories/packages before broadening.
- Use Task ID as a hint: search exact token, then split/related terms.

6  Debug with domain-aware strategies (Go/token filters/stemmers as example)
- Don't rewrite algorithms into simplistic "toy" logic; preserve intent and APIs.
- Look for classic Unicode/UTF-8 pitfalls:
  > byte indices mixed with rune counts
  > slicing mid-rune, len-based underflow, negative indices, unguarded len-k
- Fix by making indexing consistent (operate on []rune or maintain byte-safe indices via utf8 helpers), plus bounds guards as needed.

7  Make minimal, reviewable changes and verify continuously
- Change one behavior at a time; rerun the smallest reproducing test after each change.
- Add focused unit tests when coverage is missing; keep them in the same package and table-driven where sensible (include short words + accented/Unicode edge cases).
- Avoid scratch main.go files in repo root.

8  Go hygiene (when editing Go)
- Run gofmt -w <files> on touched files.
- Ensure imports are correct (no unused imports).
- Prefer preserving public interfaces; adjust internal logic unless tests demand API changes.

9  Patch hygiene before finishing
- Inspect changes: cd /testbed && git diff
- Don't commit; leave working tree changes only.
- After fix, rerun broader tests (package then ./...) if time permits.
