“Like if you do have billion token context window model, you throw it all in there. It's still gonna be more expensive. The reason why retrieval is so important for us is because even if there is a model that's going to have these larger context windows, and certainly over time, we're going to get larger context windows. You still want to be very cost efficient.”

“Capability in code is really core to performance on any LLM and like loosely, the better any LLM is at code, the better it is at any downstream task, even that's like writing poetry.”
SWE-bench tasks do not reflect actual enterprise software engineering use cases
“That, and also like just in the enterprise, the use cases are pretty different than those represented in something like Sweebench.”

“At the end of the day, no one really cares about the metrics. What people really care about is like developer sentiment. When you're kind of playing that game at the end of the day, if you want to do a metric, talk to developers and ask if they feel more produ…”
