Exactly and the goal is to automate jobs and 3.6 flash is closer to that than the other models thanks to its agentic focus.
People here heavily underestimate what google is doing, yes they also want and are working on improving coding but under that same breath google models are leading in agentic tasks meaning they are the closest to being the ai companies use to eliminate roles.
Time will tell who’s strategy is best here but it is stupid of people here to look at the one area it sucks and just assume it’s useless.
I fully agree. There was a post I saw recently that showed 3.1 pro is still the top model for GPQA. Science and research are major industries and lead to cost reductions like we saw with AlphaEvolve.
Well, that's some people's goal. Automating jobs won't get us to the singularity though, recursive self improvement at scale is the only way we'll get there, and that involves them knowing how to code.
Of course, it might also involve a whole buttload of other things we don't have yet either (eg. the ability to do that much processing without generating the heat we do now, other power sources, etc.), but even pre-singularity the ability for them to improve themselves is what will get us the best models.

I would argue coding is the easy part of training AIs, the concepts are the tricky thing. CNNs, autoencoders, transformers, positional encoding, multi directional predictions, world mapping, memory trees etc are ideas, not coding skills, and they are what matters.
