My site: https://natebjones.com Full Story w/ Prompts: https://natesnewsletter.substack.com/... ________________________________________ What's really happening with AI agent capabilities after Opus 4.6? The common story is that autonomous coding improves incrementally—but the reality is more complicated when 16 agents just coded for two weeks straight and delivered a working C compiler. In this video, I share the inside scoop on why the jump from 30 minutes to two weeks of autonomous coding is a phase change, not a trend line: • Why the 5x context window matters less than the 76% needle-in-haystack retrieval score • How Rakuten's Opus 4.6 deployment managed 50 engineers and closed issues autonomously • What 500 zero-day vulnerabilities discovered without instructions reveals about reasoning • Where agent teams and hierarchical coordination emerged as structural, not cultural For knowledge workers watching this unfold, the question has changed from whether to adopt AI to what your agent-to-human ratio should be—and what each human needs to be excellent at to make it work.

It's only been a few days since the election but already some signs of discontent on Parliament Hill. Conservatives sure, that's expected. But some Liberals who thought they should be in cabinet aren't, and they aren't happy either. Is this all meaningless inside the Ottawa bubble stuff or is it something Mark Carney should watch out for? That and a lot more with Chantal Hebert and Rob Russo on Good Talk.
