Comment on Hax – a minimalist, terminal-native coding agent written in Cparent

Comments

Generally, the models seem to adapt really well. I am using GPT models in hax a lot, and they have no trouble whatsoever using hax tools instead of their "native" codex tools.

Also since hax tools are just "read", "edit", "write", "bash" and "task_wait", it would be expected that the models would use one-off scripts to achieve their goals (either shell scripts, or python scripts, etc).

I know the Pi [0] folks had some trouble with newer models [1].
