We don't usually share details about our commercial work. We're releasing GBA Eval to give people a sense of what we work on: gbaeval.com/blog/grading-i…
We gave frontier AI coding agents 24 hours to write a complete Game Boy Advance emulator from scratch.
GPT-5.5's emulator runs games best, with Claude Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.7 close behind. Gemini 3.1 Pro failed to produce a working emulator.
At its peak around 150 AD, the Roman Empire's entire economy was smaller than San Bernardino County's is today. Two millennia of growth increased global GDP by roughly three orders of magnitude. Full automation would likely compress a similar transformation into decades.
We're hiring remote recruiters at Mechanize. If you're sharp and want to help us build the team that's automating the economy, apply (link in the replies).
Mechanize is growing quickly and we want great junior engineers as soon as possible. If you pass our interview and start working full-time by Dec 22, you will receive a $300k salary plus a $50k signing bonus. The interview takes 6 hours total and can be completed over 2 days.
