anyone confused about neurosymbolic AI—and its recent enormous victory—should read this. complete and total vindication for what I have been saying here all along. (see also my essays on Claude Code and o3 and Grok 4, which made the same point) I would have assumed it was fairly obvious, but in case it's not: a million-line codebase (also known as a "harness"), running at inference time, orchestrating thousands of calls to a neural network for any given task, is the exact definition of a "neurosymbolic architecture"
