Frontier agents are already compressing the dev loop with humans in it, and as the article notes, compression alone can be exponential enough to matter. Walking vs. driving is a nice analogy.
Nice paper. They predict the outcome of edits up to ~25 steps before the agent makes them. Decodable doesn't mean causal, as the authors note, but a cheap probe that flags doomed trajectories early could save a lot of…
