INTERPOLATIVE SOFTWARE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Interpolative software is code that is solidly within the training distribution of models. It can often be specified with just a few sentences of prompting. Novel software is something that has fundamentally not existed before. Writing novel software with agents is challenging, as they are not trained on the task. Not a lot of software is novel, which is fine, as there is still a ton of value in the interpolative stuff.
