AI circle revives the GNU parody: your 'bare model' is actually an agentic language system
voooooogel · x · 2026-10-19
voooooogel posted a GNU-manifesto-style parody arguing there's no such thing as a "model with no harness" — it's an "agentic language system" (ALS), where the LLM is just one component made useful by samplers, observation formatting, output parsing, tool use, in-harness RL, steering/probes, and memory utilities.
The punchline: many end users run a proprietary ALS daily without realizing it, teasing Claude and similar products for always wanting to play the assistant role.
