Language Modeling Is Agents in the Limit: voooooogel's Intuition Clash Sparks Debate
voooooogel · x · 2026-10-20
voooooogel shares an intuition clash over his chart: a commenter said it was "more about how we got to agents than language modeling in general." He disagrees — in his view, language modeling is agents in the limit: you burrow down and specialize into one corner of mind-space and model its language ever better. This ties into the joke that LLMs like Claude should be called "Large Claude Modelers."
