after jake's post i wanted to see if opus 5.5 can paint originals of my favorite painter (caspar david friedrich) w/o reference images so i built an oil painting engine+harness. canvas, brushes, paint, no undo, simulated drying etc. the answer is... yes? stillwet.art
for the past few months i've been asking our models to paint. opus 5.5 is very skilled at emulating different styles
every image here is a python program generated pixel by pixel. there is no image model, and no off-the-shelf art software. instead, it's about 7,500 lines of code using standard libraries to emulate different brush styles. the agents don't use any pictures as reference, instead working only from what they know about each painter

i went one step further, the heads-up scans on subagents are just fed back directly into the parent agent as a message so they can steer the subagents automatically.
i have ported this to pi and with running several long subagents i now get messages like "heads up: the opus subagent is cheating by loosening the tests"
and they are!!
install this to claude code or your favorite harness immediately. i am not asking

We're adding a new plugin to Claude Code: You should Know.
It scans Claude's output for important information you might miss to help keep you in the loop.
Enable it with:
/plugin enable cc-plugin-you-should-know@builtin

i just learned that pi defaults to 5m caching with claude subscriptions instead of the 1h in claude code and im gonna need a minute to grieve the tokens this cost me because oh my god

also openai is still sitting on what, a millenium prize one and also about a 100 other math solutions?
gpt-6.1 sol has saturated the FrontierMath Tier 4 benchmark that was considered exceptionally difficult even for research-level math just last year
that's only 10 months of progress
also Astra solved 5 erdős problems, and 2 of them under budget

anthropic, openai mutuals and other token-havers my dms are open. i will set up a livestream of models painting 24/7 if i have the tokens

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO COOL
i made claude (opus 5.5 medium) paint water lilies in the style of claude (monet) using my fork of @aliceisplaying's harness
the composition needs some work (lily pads are a perfect diagonal) and it is not really impasto but not bad. solid effort

i don't think openai get their mandate of heaven back for a while at best they'll barely catch up w the rumored fable 5.5
I'm sorry but I'm not falling for the hype again
If it's GPT-6.1 Astra I'll be extremely happy, hopefully it beats Opus 5.5, but DevDay was overhyped and I don't want to get my hopes up again
