they literally talk about it in the text

Indeed. They offer some hypotheses but they have not confirmed them.

A bunch of locally hosted LLM agents

This is the part that's funny to me. How much different is this vs. Claude just running a loop responding to itself?

I would say fairly substantially different for a few reasons:

- You can run any model, for example I'm running Kimi 2.5 not Claude

- Every interaction has different (likely real) memories driving the conversation, as-well as unique persona's / background information on the owner.

It much closer maps to how we, as humans communicate with each other (through memories of lived experienced) than just a LLM loop, IMO that's what makes it interesting.

Basically every AWS migration is this example

Yup.

And Excel to, well, not-Excel in my experience.

Based on the language in the executive order:

"the entry into the United States of aliens as nonimmigrants to perform services in a specialty occupation under section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(H)(i)(b), is restricted, except for those aliens whose petitions are accompanied or supplemented by a payment of $100,000"

It sounds like it applies every time you leave and enter, provided you are a nonimmigrant alien on H1B (which they all are).

No, it is every time you petition. So every time you apply for the visa.
