I often do experiments where I will clone one of our private repos, revert a commit, trash the .git path, and then see if any of the models/agents can re-apply the commit after N iterations. I record the pass@k score and compare between model generations over time.
In one of those recent experiments, I saw gpt-oss-120b add API support to swap tx and rx IQ for digital spectral inversion at higher frequencies on our wireless devices. This is for a proprietary IC running a quantenna radio, the SDK of which is very likely not in-distribution. It was moderately impressive to me in part because just writing the IQ swap registers had a negative effect on performance, but the model found that swapping the order of the IQ imbalance coefficients fixed the performance degradation.
I wouldn't say this was the same level of "impressive" as what the hype demands, but I remain an enthusiastic user of AI tooling due to somewhat regular moments like that. Especially when it involves open weight models of a low-to-moderate param count. My original point though is that those moments are far more common in web dev than they are elsewhere currently.
EDIT: Forgot to add that the model also did some work that the original commit did not. It removed code paths that were clobbering the rx IQ swap register and instead changed it to explicitly initialize during baseband init so it would come up correct on boot.
