Opus-assisted development of an assembly and machine-code security tool
Zoho's Sridhar Vembu said an engineer built a security tool with Opus 4.5 in roughly four weeks
Problem
Building an assembly and machine-code security tool required substantial engineering work. Vembu estimated that comparable work would previously have required several engineers for close to a year.
Approach
An experienced Zoho R&D engineer used Opus 4.5 while building the tool independently in spare time. Vembu said the engineer demonstrated the completed work after roughly four weeks. The effort had no formal project mandate.
Results
Takeaway
The comparison with a larger team's year of work was Vembu's estimate. No controlled productivity comparison or production deployment was reported.
