Q&A with Simon Willison on the November release of GPT-5.1 and Opus 4.5 as the inflection point for coding, exhaustion due to managing coding agents, and more

πŸ› οΈ TOOLS

I built an AI job search system with Claude Code that scored 740+ offers and landed me a job. Just open sourced it.

"`Edit: title should say "scored 740+ listings" not "offers": it evaluated 740+ job postings, not 740 actual job offers. my bad on the wording.` A few weeks ago I shared a video of this system on r/SideProject (534 upvotes). A lot of people asked for the code, so I cleaned it up and open sourced..."

TurboQuant KV cache quantization breakthrough

+++ A new KV cache quantization technique compressed model memory by 5x with minimal quality loss, triggering a $10B market panic that could've been prevented by actually reading the paper first. +++

TurboQuant seems to work very well on Gemma 4 β€” and separately, per-layer outlier-aware K quantization is beating current public fork results on Qwen PPL

"I’ve been experimenting with TurboQuant KV cache quantization in llama.cpp (CPU + Metal) on Gemma 4 26B A4B-it Q4\_K\_M on an Apple M4 Pro 48GB, and the results look surprisingly strong. **Gemma 4 findings** On Gemma 4, QJL seems to work well, and FWHT as a structured rotation substitute also look..."

Anthropic says Claude is a β€œmethod actor.” A few months ago, we tested that. Turns out they were understating it.

"We asked Claude to act. Literally act. Claude played an AI on a catastrophically damaged spaceship. Inside extended thinking, it was panicking. In the acted output, it held itself together. That’s awkward for current faithfulness metrics, because not every inner/outer mismatch is deception."
