Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  2. Recursive structure alone is not enough. The base model must be capable enough to improve the mechanism.
  3. harness improvement enables better deployment of the model but intelligence is still the core.
