OpenAI 主攻 COBOL 等遗留代码现代化
OpenAI 最新模型强化了 COBOL、Fortran、Visual Basic 等低资源编程语言的代码构建与迁移能力,瞄准银行、政府等核心系统的现代化需求。对 AI 工程师而言,这是企业级代码生成的新战场,也是接触高价值遗留系统重构的切入点。
遗留代码现代化是个被低估的千亿级市场,银行核心系统动辄数千万行 COBOL,人才断层严重但替换风险极高。OpenAI 选择此时切入,说明其模型在长上下文理解、跨语言语义映射上有了实质性突破——这不是简单的代码翻译,而是要读懂几十年业务逻辑。
对读者的直接信号:如果你在做 AI 编程工具,别只盯着 Python 和 JavaScript。COBOL-to-Java 或 COBOL-to-云原生这条线,竞争格局远未定型,且客单价是标准 SaaS 的 10 倍以上。另外,LeCun 与 Musk 的口水战同期出现,暗示行业注意力正在从"模型参数"转向"实际落地场景",这对务实派是利好。
Our latest model advances bring stronger capabilities for building and migrating software in low-resource programming languages such as COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic. These languages power software that banks, governments, and businesses depend on. Progress here means understanding decades of business logic and helping developers modernize those systems while preserving what works. We’re building these capabilities around the challenges developers and enterprise customers bring us. If your team is working on these systems, tell us which languages and workflows we should tackle next. https://t.co/2TbnkQixJ1

People told me that someone from India would take my job for $5/hour. In 2014, software was dead. People told me that no-code was going to kill every job and doom my career. In 2024, software was dead with Devin, Windsurf, Copilot, and OpenAI o1. We kill software every 10 years, and yet the demand for good Software Engineers has never been higher.

Introducing Flora, a suite of open models to parse the physical world and turn raw footage into rich training signals. Flora already powers our in-house data engine, labeling 200K hours of videos a day on 500 GPUs. We created it to scale the frontier for robot learning. Now you own the weights too. Flora gives you: - High-quality, timestamped captions to curate and filter human egocentric and robot data; - Dense progress rewards for quality control and RL post-training; - Rubrics scoring for real-world benchmarking Try it today, links in thread:

It combines character, motion, and scene generation into a single model: • Upload a photo and it creates the character • Describe how you want it to move, or upload a reference video • Generate the world around it from text or a photo

Listen to the examples and how easy it is to generate emotional text by describing how the voice should sound. You can simply ask for "embarrassed," and the voice will change to match.
查看原文 →Great way to explore new product concepts or compare alternatives with 3D designs! This is an engineering world model. You give it a text prompt or an image, and it generates a 3D assembly. Look at the examples: it breaks a design into smaller parts, creates each part in 3D, and assembles them.

Maxwell is the first one, but this category will explode in popularity, and you'll see why. Say you have a script that moves and processes some data. You integrate your code with Maxwell, run it, and let it observe how it runs on your hardware and analyze the data your script moves around. Maxwell will identify bottlenecks and look for faster algorithms and machine instructions for your workload. As long as your script runs, Maxwell rewrites the binary to make it faster. In one example, Maxwell made a pandas pipeline 38.4x faster. It used more CPU cores, combined processing steps, reduced unnecessary memory reads and writes, and selected the right algorithms for the data the script was processing. For example, imagine you want to check whether a number belongs to a collection. You could use hashing, but if the numbers occupy a small, dense range, a compact bitmap can make that check much faster. In short, that's one of the algorithmic data-dependent tricks Maxwell can leverage to speed things up. Here is the most impressive part of all of this: Maxwell produces a machine-checked mathematical proof that each replacement preserves the original behavior. Basically, any code they modify will always produce the same output as the old one. This is really cool for anyone working on AI or data engineering workflows. You will squeeze much more work from the hardware without rewriting your application. You can try out your scripts using Maxwell by going to this link: https://t.co/wrMA61o2xB Thanks to the @_doubleAI_ team for partnering with me on this post.

The idea is to collect session history across tools and turn it into reusable knowledge. After a session, this creates a candidate "lesson" you can approve, making it available to future agents.
查看原文 →Here is a model that was trained specifically to create layered designs. This is good because you can use it to design something, but you can also modify it later in any other editing software. Usually, when you generate an image with a regular model, you get a bunch of pixels. Vyb does something different: it builds a structured composition containing text, vector graphics, and photos. And all of these remain individually editable.
