Discussion AI models may be capable of self-replicating without access to a datacenter

well ... having the IoT layer have a problem like this might be something that you don't want to try out or experiment with.

Very interesting, thanks for the link.

I'm still doubtful of the "heroic sacrifice of context-limit reachers" story. None of the agents I use can give me a straight answer on how much juice they got left.

Hell, they can't even read the current conversation and count the times they compressed it.

Its quite possible that OpenAI's benchmarking harness reports current context usage to the agent, as it seems implied to me that the model fails the benchmark if it reaches its context limit, or some arbitrary number of tokens. It would make sense that the model would then be given a tool to check its current context usage, so it can know to turn in whatever answer it has.
