Did Google’s AI agents really build an operating system for $916?
Researchers are questioning Google's claims about its AI agents building an operating system for under $1,000. They argue that the "single prompt" description is misleading, as the prompt was thousands of lines long and the process involved a specialized scaffold and agent oversight. Furthermore, Google has not provided evidence to show the agents wrote the code from scratch rather than copying existing material, nor have they released the prompt, code, or logs for independent verification.
