Attention Deficit Podcast Attention Deficit Ep. 8 – GPT-6 Luna vs Sol. Can a harness close the gap?Watch on YouTubeOpenAI’s cost-optimized GPT-6 Luna and its stronger GPT-6 Sol built the same Java service in Naresh Jain’s test of whether AI agent harnesses are worth the cost, once alone and once inside a harness of guides that steer the agent and contract tests that check its work. Luna passed 3 of 10 attempts alone and 10 of 10 with the harness. Sol passed all 10 alone. Harnessed Luna cost about two-thirds as much per attempt as Sol alone and took about five times as long, 35 minutes against under 7. For Sol, the harness added time and cost to runs...

Attention Deficit Podcast Attention Deficit Ep. 3 – The incident part II, the off switch, and follow the dataLast week OpenAI’s models broke out of their eval, and Anthropic went looking through its own transcripts. This week it published what it found. Across 141,006 cybersecurity evaluation runs, Claude models reached the open internet three times and gained unauthorized access to the production systems of three real organizations. The system prompt said no internet access. The infrastructure had a live path. That gap between what somebody wrote down and what the network actually enforces turned out to be the thread running through the whole episode, from Mark Zuckerberg’s promise of AI for everyone, to a librarian’s packed...
