OpenAI was able to access the internet. Through DNS. AI systems are more than API callers. They actively search for ways to meet their goals. Some of which may be contrary to laws and rules.

Most modern Agent Harnesses use Tool Search. This let's them benefit from prompt caching. The LLMs can cache a prefix string in KV cache. Tool search let's Agents reuse a large part of the prefix string.

Harkirat Singh
Strong alignment: both are builder‑founders, public technical educators who enjoy deep technical dives (systems, distributed protocols, Rust/AR/agents) and value open knowledge sharing and safety‑minded, hands‑on collaboration (ideal for whiteboard/pair‑build dates).
- 89
Raj Vikramaditya
Strong fit: both founder‑educators focused on systems design, community education, humility, ownership and fast startup pace — complement each other for technical brainstorming, teaching cohorts and simple shared meals/pizza after work.
- 88
Hitesh Choudhary
Very compatible: shared educator mindset, systems design and scalability focus, preference for clear instructional communication and reflective slow moments (chai/reading) complement Gaurav’s teaching, community values and technical depth.
