Can you share what tools and processes you're using to do this? I've been using Pi to build custom extensions and wrapping workflows in shell processes to make it more deterministic and enforce certain validations, all…
It's exciting, but that's $9k for a model that's in the ballpark of last year's frontier. For many people that's like 10 years of up-front cost in a landscape that's getting better and cheaper every week. but compared…
There's great VST plugins like "Sketch Cassette 2" that will do hiss, flutter, all of that, along with some great presets. That one's less about creating authentic sound profiles, more like creating lo-fi tracks and…
If llama 3 70b were available for $400 today, people would make it work. They would have 4 of them working side by side or 1 of them working with a GPU on another model. To me, it's like imagining if Sonnet 3 was burned…
The barrier to entry for tinkering on Linux is so much lower now for anyone with a $20 Claude/Codex plan. What might have been an hours/days of fruitless head-scratching can now be done in minutes while you grab a…
In Bazzite I've had innumerable issues with waking from sleep and display driver crashes, which means a 50 ft walk to press the reset button. If you're cool with that, this appliance isn't for you.
I bought an irresponsible pile of homelab equipment in 24/25. Hard drives, SSD, memory, GPUs. I feel bad for people locked out right now, since it's become more interesting and important than ever. At the time it seemed…
To go further down this pipe dream - Anthropic / OpenAI would buy them all and still price out the consumer. There's no end-run in this scenario.
I can actually use and enjoy Linux. The "year of the desktop" never came for me, but instead I got the "year of the cli". For 20 years I've used Linux in one form or another, but I've felt like I was kneecapped for the…
It's fine for dense models where you need them in VRAM, less so for MoE where you're offloading layers to ram. But 32/32 is pretty good for both in the popular ~30b range right now.
- You can send any amount of money to anyone in the world very quickly and cheaply, and nobody can stop you. - No government can dilute it or limit its supply. Stuff like that. Maybe that matters to you, maybe not, but…
This is where a lot of the crypto scammers on x have moved, selling ai/bots to do this. It seems like the odds slip significantly after these large bets are filled.
For the huge percentage of devs using vscode, switching to Cursor was essentially adding a new color theme and a chat window. The CLI switch was far more radical.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I have some smaller 3080's I'm looking to place and this sounds like a good opportunity.
The memory upgrade is $1k on a Macbook Pro. The laptop is ~$5500.
Expect to pay $4k-10k - Your RTX 6000 is closer to $10k now - Sparks are creeping into the $4-5k range - AMD Strix are ~3.5k - Apple depends on chipset and memory. Sweet spot would be 128gb M3 Ultra, probably $6-8k but…
Why this entire tool chain instead of building within something like pi code? I've been exploring this area and a project like https://github.com/itayinbarr/little-coder (not my work) lets me mix and match with my…
It's older, but Hermes Pro 2 (same lab as Hermes agent) is a fine-tune of Mistral 7b for tool calling and structured outputs. This isn't for agentic loops, though. This is for turning simple requests into API calls.
Similarly, the agentic coding success stories are from orgs that had all of these things out of the gate.
It reads like the inventors of Claude can't get Claude to apply a "human in the loop" workflow.
You can fine-tune a model, but there are also smaller models fine-tuned for specific work like structured output and tool calling. You can build automated workflows that are largely deterministic and only slot in these…
Rather, Imagine you have 2-3 of these working 24/7 on top of what you're doing today. What does your backlog look like a month from now?
You're right for the same reason that the original iPhone outranks the iPhone 3Gs.
OpenClaw had a huge viral marketing campaign. It wasn't a coincidence everyone on twitter was talking about it at the same time suddenly. To its credit, it also executed well enough in a few areas that captured people's…
What kind of small tasks do you find it's good at? My non-coding use of agents has been related to server admin, and my local-llm use-case is for 24/7 tasks that would be cost-prohibitive. So my best guess for this…
