I never thought the day that IBM would make complete slop.

But it is IBM after all.

I bet this will be as successful as Microsoft Bob.

I used Bob extensively at an IBM acquisition, it was absolutely dreadful. Bobcoins.

This can only mean that IBM Clippy is next.

Nobody got fired for using IBM Bob

Should have been IBM Tom, after legendary IBM CEO Thomas J. Watson. But perhaps they didn't want to sully his name.

This is embarrassing. It would have been better to release nothing than this.

Lost opportunity to call it Hal

I like how the solitary review is word salad.

Totally reminds me of "HP Offers 'That Cloud Thing Everyone Is Talking About'"

This sounds a lot like Spotify's XIRP. They managed to vibe something useful for their own engineers, were super hyped, and decided to release it in public. However what are the odds this harness will stand the test of time against actual harness makers like OpenAI or Anthropic? Neither Spotify or IBM are focused on making models or harnesses, these are just side-products.

Not to be confused with Microsoft Bob:
