I put an entire codebase in a text file and gave it to Gemini 1.5 Pro. I gave it a task that required updating ~10 files across the entire codebase - so decently complex. It got about 80% of the work done for me on a 1st attempt. Watch...

This is a very realistic example. Highlights how nice the context window is for code-related work while being honest about LLMs needing better reasoning capabilities to get to 100%. Super happy with the result! Lots of gains to be had from prompting/retrieval on top of this.

If they actually have a reasoning breakthrough then wow

Thank you so much for this in depth example and your full, honest explanation. Really gives me a full sense of what to expect.

This is quite amazing. Eagerly waiting for its public release.

Did you just copy and paste your codebase into the txt file? Or a script or something

The future of fixing bugs? Just record them. I filmed 3 separate bugs in an app and gave the videos to Gemini 1.5 Pro with my entire codebase. It correctly identified & fixed each one. AI is improving insanely fast.

I found an excellent use case for Remotion & claude code - get it to create a video explaining how the codebase works. In this case I got it to explain how codebase works

🔥 💻 🎥 How to provide o1 Pro with your FULL CODEBASE through the ChatGPT Cursor connection yesterday I recorded a video connecting o1 Pro to Cursor through the ChatGPT Desktop app more than one person commented on how limiting it is for o1 Pro to only have access to a single open file in Cursor here's a walkthrough of how you can provide o1 Pro with your FULL CODEBASE as context instead of just a single file: 1. Write a Python function that concatenates full codebase into a single snapshot in a .txt file (link in comment) 2. Open that "codebase_snapshot.txt" in a separate Cursor pane 3. Go to the ChatGPT app and ask it what context it has access to through Cursor - should say it has two files with one of them being the codebase snapshot and boom there ya go. o1 Pro has access to everything in your codebase full walkthrough here 👇

i made a game where you literally have to find a missing semicolon in a codebase of 187,421 lines the catch is the entire codebase is printed out and taped to the walls of an office and you have to inspect it line by line Play it here:

Hermes agent is insane I gave Hermes access to Browser Use so it has access to my social media accounts. It retains context about my codebase, tone, and workflows. Now i just ask it to post on X for me...

o1-pro is probably the best model i've used for coding, hands down i gave it a pretty complicated codebase and asked it to refactor while referencing docs the difference between claude/gemini/o1 and o1 pro is night and day. first time in a while i've been this impressed. full comparison in the video + code.

Hermes learned my entire repo in minutes. I’m not exaggerating. I pointed the new /learn skill at my codebase… and watched it turn the repo into a reusable skill. Files. Patterns. Architecture. Commands. Workflows. It didn’t just “read” the repo. It created a playbook for how to work with it again later. This blew my mind. Memory remembers facts. Skills remember how to do the work. That’s the difference.

Claude Code with Sonnet 4.5 is actually incredible I gave it a prompt for a super complex app, and it one shot the entire thing In this video I walk you through how to use Claude Code to build a prompt library app you can start using immediately (no coding experience required):

🐱ah right, actually my cover of “ordinary people” i was there for & participated in the editing of the entire video & gave a lot of my opinions on, so it's a project that i was right there for, from the start to the end. i filmed everything needed very well, so it was so nice. please watch it a lot!

Loop Engineering is getting hype now. But not many talks about how to actually do it So I open-sourced the template my team uses to build agent loops: - a shared artifact / knowledge layer - logging, verification - and a codebase harness so work compounds across runs Plus a 20-min deep dive on how to think about it and set it up for real: Copy the template. Adapt it to your own loops.

I kind of like Gemini 3.0 Flash in Antigravity. It is fast, and the Browser Subagent works great with it. A few days ago, I asked it to rebuild my website entirely based on the existing codebase. It redesigned everything and tested it too. I did not have much time for iteration, but it was good enough, and I deployed it.

Wow. This takes "chatPDF" to an entirely new level. Don't think this is possible with regular rag either I gave 4 highly tabular pdfs to gemini 1.5 (tesla financials) it understood the entire context, summed all the tabular values and gave me a nearly perfect response.

In an effort for me to say less and work more, our team put together a video about how I ended up working on @DoubleZero in the first place. I’ve been reducing latency my entire life so when presented with original ideas behind it, I couldn’t say no.

D-Dot came in and put the... that’s when the magic happens, when I’m there [in the studio]” Ron “Amen-Ra” Lawrence: “When Jay heard it, it was just in a raw form. It was really nothing to it; it was just bare. ...By Jay putting his lyrics on that track, it really gave me a vision on where I knew that I could take it because he painted that picture about living in Marcy Projects. He gave it that whole sinister feel. Most people want to have a finished track so they can rhyme to [it]. It’s very challenging, and it’s a lot of fun if you can have a rapper do a song on top of a song that's not finished ... it just gave me so much insight on what I should do with it, and it worked.”

I fed an *entire* biology textbook into Gemini 1.5 Pro. 491,002 tokens. I asked it 3 extremely specific questions, and it got each answer 100% correct. 1M token context windows are a gamechanger.

Kevin O’Leary says he wept when Rolex gave him a watch even its own staff had never seen. “Grown men weep just looking at pictures of this mystical beast. Does it exist? I got on my knees and begged for it.” “The morning before the Oscars, the phone rings. They gave me an address and said, ‘Be there.’ And there it was.” “The entire Rolex staff had never seen it. All the dealers from around LA came to see it.” “For an hour we looked at it. We didn’t touch it. We just looked at it and said, ‘It’s real.’” “I did, and I wore it. I was weeping. It was mine. I own it. Do you know how many people have that piece? Maybe nobody.”
