Bravo to the author. This is inspiring work.
Bravo indeed!
(Also, based on the CSS, the author appears to be GPT.)
I'll give an example of what I'm working on. There's a model for segmenting organs from CT scans. There's another model for calculating radial diameters of blood vessels from CT scans. You can combine the two and approximate how much blood flow each organ gets based on its segmented volume and the sum total radial diameter of vessels feeding it. You can then render all of that in an app that shows perfusion to that organ.
The idea is to combine these models to extract every ounce of usable information from a CT scan that might be useful for procedural planning (I'm an interventional radiologist). While each algorithm would take weeks/months to implement, Opus 5.5 can do them in minutes to hours and then stitch them together. The results thus far have been better than anything I've seen.
Just earlier today, I had Opus 5.5 try and read an X-ray. It struggled to give any real information.
Stitching algorithms together is also not hard.
When the model is shown to be within tolerance of what you can measure in the accepted standard methods right now, you can move over with confidence.
I no longer have to beg and plead the SW team to implement driver fixes or feature ads; I can freakin' do it myself.
Likewise, being able to explore e.g, a new vision algo piped directly into the software stack allows for setting up a demo in an afternoon.
I try to stay very cautious, and thoughtful prompting / checkpointing / getting it to first search for similar PRs as a guide have helped make sure it stays 'boring' and doesn't break architecture.
So far, I haven't been bitten... :)

> So far, I haven't been bitten... :)The problem is the rendering is wrong. Gates which are connected to two distinct inputs according to the text description which pops up when you click on it are rendered as having both inputs connected to the same wire. It's a bit of a shame.
