> GPT-6 Astra and GPT-5.6 Sol are absolutely insane

Perhaps before Astra was nerfed. It is now the dumbest model right after Gemini. Sol still holds up.

Maybe I’m getting really old, and I know we live in changing times but the fact this works at all is insane, as in black magic insane.

I assume I’ll get used to it, but my mental model of what’s possible hasn’t been fully rewired yet.

This is super great. The biggest pain point of Asahi Linux is how it doesn't have GPU acceleration on M3 and newer, especially now that M6 is out!

However, Asahi Linux has a strictly no-AI policy [1]. So this great work can't be upstreamed. I expect to see a bunch of AI-assisted forks that get things working smoothly on newer hardware to dominate as most people just care about getting stuff working, while only a handful of purists stick to the non-AI version running on ancient hardware.

It's extremely impressive that they were able to make a working driver so quickly. I think this is one of the best use cases for LLMs. You don't need someone to spend years reverse engineering undocumented hardware anymore. It will interesting to see how good the driver the LLMs came up with is, and whether it can be upstreamed into the Linux kernel.

Figuring out how the hardware works and how to interface with it to submit work is a significant step all by itself.
