Scott Wu: OpenAI o1 & Coding

it takes a lot of effort to to build code that runs consistently and works very well right and I think the thing that's really really exciting now is every human is is going to be able to build way more um and there's so much more to build and that's that's that's what gets me really excited yeah I'm Scott woo I'm the CEO and co-founder at cognition the thing that's that's interesting about programming is that it's it's changed in shape like over and over over the last you know 50 years programming used to be Punch Cards

you know and people used to I mean that was how it was first done right along the way there are all these different Technologies of the internet and cloud and mobile and so on I'd say as a whole it's it's only gotten easier to produce code and to produce real programs being able to write code out line by line is one thing but also being able to understand and interpret logs being able to navigate and run commands that actually you know affect the real world is a big part of programming this new model 01 is

really able to process and make decision ISS in a more human-like way we're getting a glimpse into a new generation of models we worked closely with open AI on iterating on it and giving our feedback and testing it out what we found was that o 01 was just incredible at this kind of reasoning um I guess I should explain what Devon is and stuff from the beginning yeah okay cool yeah so you know at cognition AI we're building Devon the first fully autonomous software agent and you know what that means is that Devon is able

to go and build tasks um from scratch and is able to work on problems the same way that a software engineer would and so here actually I asked Devon um you know to to analyze the sentiment of this tweet uh to use a few different ml Services out there uh to run those out of the box and break down this particular piece of text and understand what the sentiment is and so first Devon will make a plan um of how it plans to approach this problem yeah and here you know it had some trouble fetching

it from the browser and so then instead it decided to go and um go through the API and fetch the tweat that way right and all these little decisions you know things like that happen all the time you can really see here how much this human-like reasoning makes a difference finally it's able to get this all the way through it says that the predominant emotion of this Suite is happiness the soul of programming has always been the ability to take your ideas and turn them into reality and now you can be able to do that

much faster cleaner than ever before
