GPT-5.5 outperforms GPT-5.4 in real-world coding tasks, from debugging and large merge operations to interactive app development. It also serves as a research partner—critiquing manuscripts, proposing analyses, and generating reports on complex datasets—all while running at GPT-5.4 latency through integrated inference optimizations.

The author argues that Mythos, though not trained for cybersecurity, outperforms experts by chaining vulnerabilities and excels across all knowledge work tasks. Companies will soon replace human workers with cheaper, more productive AI, forcing a major shift in how we work and demanding a rethink of our future roles.

Making software development easier leads to an exponential increase in the amount of software created, rather than a decrease in the need for developers. As tools and abstractions reduce the cost of building software, previously unviable projects become feasible, shifting the focus from whether to build something to what should be built. This pattern reflects a consistent trend across technological advancements, indicating a growing demand for knowledge work.
