One-shot coding (Blitzy, Kimi K3, Opus 5) and scaffolding enable autonomous software development — 5x engineering velocity
Models now generate entire applications (Call of Duty clone, architecture diagrams) from single prompts. Scaffolding (reframing problems for models) yields step-function capability gains — e.g., ARC-AGI-3 performance jumps from algebraic reasoning. Blitzy achieves 5x velocity via thousands of specialized agents. Synthetic data (procedural 3D environments, code-with-bugs) trains models without human data. Token cost explosion drives local model adoption.
