Now in VS @code → GPT-5

End of 2024: “AI hit a wall.”
“Just a fad.”
Cool.

I’ll be over here fadding my way to the finish line 🏁

GPT-5 dropped an hour ago.
Everyone's wondering:

Can it count the R’s in strawberry?

First benchmark: Can it count the R’s in strawberry?
🍓✅
Then we added blueberry?
🫐✅

Folks… it can count. 🥳

@OpenAI released GPT-5. OpenRouter has the model in the inference center.

You can use the GPT-5 model in PowerShell in the console or your scripts today.

🆕 OSS AI models dropping fast.
Here’s what landed just in the last 2 weeks.

🗓️ Today:
✅ gpt-oss-120b from OpenAI
✅ claude-opus-4.1 from Anthropic

Both already running side-by-side in my PowerShell console via PSAISuite.
No glue code. Just results. ⚡

RAG is dead (or "transforming" if that helps you sleep).

Claude Code lit the fuse on agentic search.

Fuzzy embeddings, vector DBs, single-turn RAG?

Cute. Outdated.

Beware the “Learn how to Prompt AI” grifters.

It’s always been context engineering.
Agents + subagents need a phased approach.

Human-in-the-loop during research/planning avoids downstream chaos.

Bad news? Not as many humans are needed as you think.

You don’t have to wait in vs @code for one AI to finish its monologue.

Spin up agents in parallel, and keep the whole project moving.

It’s not multitasking. It’s vibe coding.

Tried OpenAI's agent mode to create a slide deck from raw info.
The analysis was top-notch, but the impressive graphics and slide flow were BCG-level.

What once cost big bucks in corporate consulting is very accessible.

Plus, it is the worst it'll ever be.

Learning AI isn’t optional.
It’s not a nice-to-have.
It’s not a skill boost.
It’s table stakes.

If you’re not learning it, you’re folding before the game even starts.

And prompt engineering? That’s not even the ante. It’s just the entry fee to watch.

OpenAI livestream 1pm ET - GPT5 time

Seems it wasn't long ago my feed was littered with others pontifications how folks would never use AI cause it can't count letters.

History will remember who adapted

So, this is how we start to find out we're in a simulation.

Genie 3, from Google, is groundbreaking world model that creates interactive, playable environments from a single text prompt.

From photorealistic landscapes to fantasy realms, the possibilities are endless.

Tonight is AGI Eve—a nerdy Christmas!

Tomorrow, @OpenAI's livestream might reveal GPT-5. Celebrating with an AGI-tini and The Matrix queued up.

Thinking about years wasted coding manually, now AI does in 4 seconds.

Here's to probablt my last job or my first enjoyable one!

Mainframe era: “This system’s 10 KLOCs.” (10,000 lines of code)
UNIX wars: “Make it 8 if you use C.”
Then Agile came—we played poker instead of planning.

Now with AI coders?
KLOCs/day is the new velocity.
Hello again, old friend.

DIY: no need to wait on Microsoft to add the new OpenAI OSS model.

🧠 BYOK in VS @code + @OpenRouter = access to @OpenAI's gpt-oss-120b

Open source. Open weights. The game just changed.

📦 OSS is the new default.

Meanwhile I’m over here counting like it’s earnings season.
💥 +1 model = someone shipped.

Another benefit of vibe coding?

You’re QA now

But the AI actually understands the error.

No slow-walk. No "can you repro?"
It just fixes it. You stay in flow.

Bottleneck removed. Achievement unlocked.

OpenAI knocked it out of the park.
`gpt-oss-120b`

Their o3-level open-source model is live on OpenRouter

I’m using it to build a full SaaS app from the command line in seconds.

This is the new standard.

Why would you use anything else?

🔥 AI agents are cool.

But without good prompts, they’re tourists in your repo.

Aug 8 I’ll show you how to make them locals 🗺️
