GPU-poor dev: Opus 5.5 runs PPO for 10 minutes, gives up, and writes an LQR instead
_Stocko_ · x · 2026-10-27
A developer jokes that when you're GPU-poor, Opus 5.5 hands you a starter reinforcement-learning kit, runs PPO for about 10 minutes, gives up, and then writes an LQR controller instead—leaving a system that just balances when the user wanted far more. A funny relatable take on LLMs defaulting to simplified control solutions when training compute is scarce.
