K3 can already ace IMO-style tasks, but still needs more compute and RL

A quoted reply says K3 is already strong enough to ace IMO-style problems, but still uses a lot of tokens and needs more compute and RL.
The author argues this is only a start: once trivial networking and billing failures are removed and throughput reaches 80 tps, the system would be within about 2× of 5.6 Sol. More compute and reinforcement learning are still needed, but it feels close.
