Summary: No stacking more parameters, no burning more cash — an open-source model “technical committee” beats a 1.6T cloud flagship by 15 percentage points on real engineering tasks.
01 | A Scene Every Dev Team Has Lived Through

An eight-year-old legacy repo. An issue that's been open for three months. You hand the task to the most expensive cloud model you have and watch it get to work: read the code, edit the code, run the tests, hit an error, edit again, error again...
On round 9, it reverts the same block of code back to what it looked like on round 3.
