prediction claim
The speaker thinks that as models improve, differences between harnesses matter less, and that Astra is capable enough to work in OpenCode without behaving badly.

The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“i think though as models get smarter or like as they get better this distinction becomes uh not that important”
“that important in the sense that like if you take astra and you put it inside of open code like it's not gonna go crazy because i think it's like just sufficiently good and so i say this because the only benefits between these different harnesses is just cost for the most part and and i think like what i'm getting at here is if you plug these models into rlm's though”Play from 41:49Report a misattribution
