I offhandedly set it up to do a weather alert every 4 hours during the big winter storm. Absent a well-specified API, I can only assume it was repeatedly doing a bunch of work to access some open API it discovered.

Very much the LLM equivalent of “to bake an apple pie you must first invent the universe”.

To its credit, it did a great job.

Wow, so it must have been spending a ton of reasoning tokens then writing code to go fetch the weather. Or maybe using a browser?

Hopefully one day we get self-hostable LLMs good enough for this.
